About the adventure

This is for players who want a gritty high fantasy campaign with epic combat, possible character death, and laughs to go along. Not a romance adventure. Best example, hell boy meets mad max. Welcome to Baldur's Gate, a city of constant conflict and turmoil. The city has closed its doors to the outside world. Rumors of the neighboring city of Elturel has vanished from the world. Now, refugees from Elturel have been flooding the city gates. Will Baldur's Gate be next to vanish? To make matters worse, the leader of the city guard (the flaming fist) is missing. With the city guard disorganized and distracted with the city gates, murder has run rampant in the city. You have been hired to help the city in investigating these murders. Where will your adventures take you? Most likely hell. πŸ“… Campaign Detail: 🎲 The first session 0 game is free and will only involve character creation, lines and veils, and setting up the parties backstory for the adventure.

Gameplay details

A typical session will involve everyone logging into discord then fantasy grounds. We will then recap the previous session. Each session will have a equal amount of exploration, roleplay, and combat. In session 0, we will discuss our limits/preferences and how we will express them. I enjoy doing voices for my npcs, to breathe life into them. I enjoy making things challenging. I want to get the adrenaline pumping. So character death can happen. I do not pull punches and let the dice fall where they may. Knowing when to run is one skill an adventurer must posses. Or knowing when not to pick a fight, instead use stealth or wits. While I generally stick to RAW, I'm a big fan of the rule of cool when it's appropriate. Your character can die in my game, but if they die to save another player. That sacrifice justifies a check passes. πŸ“… House rules: 🎲 A custom inspiration system where you earn points for good roleplay, doing a recap, having a great idea, or just making me laugh. Then spend the points to mitigate dice rolls in different ways. 🎲 Custom crafting rules from the Armorers Handbook homebrew. Add mods to your weapons and armor. I try to make sure everyone gets a moment to shine and interact with things. Nothing makes me feel better, when a person breaks out of their shell. Feeling comfortable expressing their character. The game will be every Wednesday evening. And go from levels 3 - 13. Running the start at 3 because that is where the fun begins.
