About the adventure
Up to four players brave the trials of the five Gods of Amonkhet to prove themselves Worthy for an eternal afterlife. But behind the shining monuments and prophesies, a dark truth lurks at the heart of the city of Naktamun. Will our heroes discover the truth before it's too late, or play right into an ancient scheme? Player's start at level three, and will go to level 8 over the course of 6 sessions and a session zero.
This is a 6 session campaign plus a session zero. It is high combat and puzzles, heavily using Roll20, but every session there will be an opportunity or two for pure roleplaying between characters. The game is set in the Magic: The Gathering world of Amonkhet, so if you don't want spoilers don't read the published Amonkhet or Hour of Devastation stories. The worldbuilding is very fun, and it's one of my favorite settings. If you are a fan of the world already and want to play in it, or completely new to the setting this is the game for you! Events are set before the stories published in the MTG timeline. The game features some dark stuff, and can get a little spooky. If you don't like undead in your games, this is not the game for you (there are mummies). P.S. The cutoff time is high because of my timezone, and my desire to get a good night's sleep.

Additional details
How to prepare
Players will need a microphone, access to the internet, and the abilty to look at PDFs. Players will need a discord account or a gmail account, and will need to have a Roll20 account. I will send a lore document, which is optional to read after session 0. We will go over the essential lore and character creation during session 0. I will have premade characters ready, but players will need to work with me to make character motivations that make sense in the world and choose a background.
What I provide
This game has a full set of Roll20 battle and puzzle maps I've created. I use voices to bring people into roleplay, and offer descriptive combats focusing on player and monster actions. I also offer custom magic items unique to this world. This game has been playtested before, and was a lot of fun!
Gameplay details
Lines and Veils discussion will happen at session 0, with option for anonymous additions prior to session 1. Session zero will also go over the world of Amonkhet, the limits of the world (limited races, limited backgrounds, etc.), and discussion of elements people want in game. X, N, & O's will be handled via private messages on the same platform the game is on. Stars and wishes will be at the end of every session in the last 10 minutes.

How will character creation work
Character creation will happen at the end of session 0. Players can make their sheet if they prefer, but I will have premade sheets ready for players and potential backup characters. Players must be willing to have motivations and choose a background they prefer. Players should not read Plane Shift: Amonkhet, because it contains spoilers for the mystery aspect of this campaign.
