About the adventure
It fell from the sky and now nothing will ever be the same again. 15 years later, the civil war has abated and now some have turned their minds back to a capitol that was all but destroyed and what a few had found amongst the ruins. Now, different forces dream of fashioning new futures and are looking for those of courage and wits to return back from whence everyone else has fled. No one appears to have asked those denizens that lie within the city what they might think...

About me
I have been GMing and playing in this great hobby now for 40 years and as my picture shows, I am still loving it :) Life is a rich tapestry and I try to fit into it as much as I can. I take this attitude into the games that I play and run, and so I always seem to be running something. I like to think that my life and gaming experiences provide benefits to the games that I run and therefore to the experiences that the players have. I am always looking to improve and welcome any feedback; if you don't grow, you decay. I hope we can grow together.

Creating your character
On our Discord server you will find a Player Guide that will highlight the process, any rule changes to be aware of, and links to source material I would recommend you try some of prior to play commencing. I will provide you with access to the new 2024 PHB rules for you to create your Heroes with (note that we will only be using 2024 Rules and options available within the Player Guide for this campaign). You can then bring any questions you may have to our Session 0 and we can address them openly in the Group. If there are further background refinements that you wish to cover, we can do so via the Discord server.
There is still time for your Hero to join the Party on their latest mission into Drakkenheim! Session summaries are available for everyone to review and add their own notes to, creating an ongoing story of how your Hero helped to save Drakkenheim. Current Party Goals: - Rescue Hooded Lantern woman taken by Ratlings; - Investigate murder of Silver Order knight by mage outcasts; - Decide upon which Factions to Ally with. The Party is Level 6 and consists of: ⚔️ Yoolin Littlefingers, Halfling Fighter/Rogue; 🪓 Kalea, Goliath Barbarian; 🏹 Reed, Human Ranger; 🔮 Barnaby, Gnomish Sorcerer; 👊🏽 Ezra, Bugbear Monk. This campaign will be using the new D&D 5e 2024 Rules and these will be made available to you as part of you playing this game. Your Hero can be built using the campaign's area on D&D Beyond (free for players). Upon completion of the campaign, Heroes will be a minimum level of 13th. Links to setting information and the D&D Beyond account for the game can be found via our Discord server, which will be shared with you during the signing up process.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players should ✅ source a microphone external to the speakers of their PC or Mac (I can recommend one if you need to source a reasonably priced one); ✅ have a PC or Mac that is capable of joining the Foundry VTT reliably; ✅ sign-up for a D&D Beyond account if you do not have one (it is free to do so); ✅ sign-up for a Discord account if you do not have one (it is free to do so); ✅ agree with the Group on who will take notes (I always advise it with any Campaign, even if they're just a set of key points); ✅ remember that this is a game; ✅ be clear with their expectations without being discourteous; ✅ see this as an opportunity to learn from one another as well as to teach.
What Egonaught brings to the table
🌟 I bring with me 40 years of experience as a GM. 🌟 The games I run are generally immersive and story rich, with both film noir and horror influences. 🌟 Combats are less frequent but often brutal affairs. NPCs will usually therefore assume you will role-play with them first (most don't want to die either). 🌟 Those NPCs of significance will have some limited agency to respond to the Party's actions; this isn't a static environment. 🌟 I am not a voice actor AND I will do as many voices as I can, particularly to NPCs of significance to help you gain a sense of them. 🌟 Access to the Foundry VTT on which you will find all the rules you need as a player, along with all of the maps/tokens/audio required to run this Campaign; 🌟 Access to the new 2024 D&D 5e Rules via D&D Beyond; 🌟 A Discord server that will be used audio and text discussion; Heroes are forged in the white heat of adversity. In the beginning, you are nobodies. As the Campaign goes on, you slowly rise to meet the challenge that the Gods themselves have placed before you. I will cheer you on, but silently as the Gods are known to be jealous masters :)
Homebrew rules
The community area on our discord server contains a range of articles on the new D&D 5.5 rules and how we will make rulings on them. This is an open area where all players can discuss and contribute in turn. We do allow players to transfer Heroic Inspiration from their characters to another player character as we believe that this encourages both their usage and better team play. We continue to invest in supplementing D&D with some of the excellent contributions made by the wider D&D creators, and a good example is the use of Heliana's Guide to Monster Hunting in all of our D&D campaigns. Suggestions of creators we do not use today will be welcomed and agreement is likely to be based upon their availability on D&D Beyond and/or Foundry. We do not support custom homebrew for individual players outside of reskinning of existing material.

Safety
How Egonaught creates a safe table
Prior to Session 0, an RPG Consent Form will be sent to all Players to complete. A Session 0 will be run before the Campaign starts and will last the length of a normal session. In the first part, we will have an open discussion on the different levels of player experience and on the themes explored by the published material. Where we can identify areas that might prove difficult for participants and how the other safety tools will be used to mitigate these and help player enjoyment in general. In the second part, we will as a group finalise your player characters and though I will help where required, this is an opportunity for players to collaborate and get to know each other little before we begin play.
