About the adventure
~This game has a Trial period, the first 4 sessions will be at $5 so you can see if you mesh with me as a DM and the other players, Then it rises to my standard rate of $25 if you wish to continue.~ ~The original game description is below, but we are not on the second part of the campaign. the party has discovered the elemental chaos is bleeding into the material plane and it is only a matter of time before chaos and destruction occur, all while knowing nothing can be done to stop it. Back at home, the king is secretly planning on selling the nation to the highest bidder before a republic can be formed, bringing all the turmoil that betrayal holds.~ 200 years ago, the adventurers known as Red Wings Fury from the city of Gemheart helped save their home and the world from a tide of evil from the Underdark, The Umbral Empire, from scouring all life from the planet. Now, the world of I-Antha has seen huge strides in the discoveries in science and technology. The world is full swing into their Industrial Revolution. Trains crisscross the landscape, carrying both goods and passengers. No longer does one need to pay a mage to teleport them across the continent, only purchase a ticket. Airships now cross the seas where only boats one could. Luxurious travel no longer means a rocking ship, or a roiling stomach. Workers can leave the factory after a long shift and buy a pre-packaged meal from one of the many Automats dotting every major city. No longer does one miss out on a meal because they forgot to go shopping, just insert your coin here. Sky scrapers cut the view of the sky in half in the largest population centers across the world. No longer does one need to be a king in his castle to get such a view, shuffling papers at a desk never looked so grand. And of course the power of firearms has spread to every corner. Why go to school for years to learn magic to kill monsters, All you need is to point and pull the trigger. But with progress comes new problems. The looming threat of firearms restrictions has sent much of your home in protest, after all the world is dangerous and now they want to ban the first weapon anyone can use to fight the dangerous monsters of the world? Add on newly empowered tycoons holding monopolies on the businesses many work themselves to death in. The retaking of broken land long thought unsalvageable causing a rush to grab what a nation can before their neighbors do, even if it starts a war. Will you flourish in the opportunities presented to you? Will you try to fix the problems the new world now faces? Will you be the first to bring the torch and burn it all down? No matter the choice, this world is nothing more than Soot, Steel, and Magic.

About me
Hi, my name is Ergo , I'm a 33-year-old Game master looking to make an actual career in this community. My Creative background began in childhood getting lost in book after book and wanting to have an impact on the world and help the protagonists in their journey. I started playing ttrpg's in 2015 and of course, became the forever GM because no one else wanted to do it. Thus began the creation of my own worlds and the characters that fill them. I love to make games that have heavy player involvement. Want a thieves guild in the city? Done. Wizards tower in the desert? Done. Space station taken over by androids? Already have a name for it. Narrative matters the most to me but boy do I love some crunchy combat.

Creating your character
We will have an Onboarding Session 0 to go over everything you need to know about the game and what its like to play at my table. This will count as the first of the 4 Trial period sessions. If you join later we will have the Onboarding session 0 and will pay the full price of $25 but will have 4 sessions at the Trial cost of $5 (This is due to too many people spending 2 hours of my time for session 0 and then pulling no shows so I can at least get something for my time) We will use Tasha's rules for racial stat allocation if you don't choose one of the races changed new multiverse book. Stats will be the array or rolled, but if you roll you will have to abide by the roll unless it's a dumpster fire (Multiple negatives and a highest of 14) You can roll for HP or take the average but will have to abide by the roll. No Multi-Classing
