Tales from New Cyre | Eberron | Swashbuckling Pulp Action!
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
The Last War has ended. The conflicts, the anger, and the pain of the long war remain, however, and the new nations seek every advantage as they prepare for the next war to break out on the continent. The once great nation of Cyre has been destroyed by a mysterious apocalyptic event known as the "Mourning". With their home destroyed, many refugees from Cyre have made their way to Breland to make a new home for themselves in the town of New Cyre. You will be joining their efforts to rebuild. Perhaps you are a refugee yourself, attempting to rebuild your life from the rubble. Maybe you are simply an outcast from one of the other nations, and New Cyre is the new beginning you've been searching for. You could even be a merchant looking for the next place to set up shop. Whatever your reasons are, they have brought you here. And it is up to you to help it grow and succeed. This game will take place primarily around the town of New Cyre, where your characters will become involved in its construction and the plots that seek to hinder it. New players are encouraged to join, as I love introducing people to the game and world of Eberron!

How to prepare
The only things you will need to bring with you are a working microphone and a discord account to play this game. You do not need to know anything about 5e dungeons and dragons or the Eberron setting.
What I provide
I will be bringing a FoundryVTT license that we will use for the majority of the game. I enjoy making maps and homebrew content for the game so you can expect plenty of that. I also own a majority of the books on D&D Beyond and will be sharing those with everyone who prefers to use that character sheet. I bring a variety of character voices that I enjoy doing for NPCs and monsters. I will also be bringing music that will play during the game through discord (though you can always mute it if you prefer). I know the rules of the system very well, but I embrace the Rule of Cool frequently and encourage my players to narrate and describe many of their own actions. I also place an emphasis on player agency. In other words, your actions and decisions will have meaningful effects on the story and world around you. What you do matters!
Gameplay details
I use an RPG consent checklist and document that players fill out to inform me of any phobias or topics that they do not want to see or participate in. I take player safety and comfort very seriously, if at any point a player feels uncomfortable with what is happening, they are free to take a break without judgement. I also always do a session 0 with the group and new players before we start to get everyone familiar with each other and what is and is not allowed at the table. I have a zero-tolerance policy for players that intentionally make others uncomfortable or violate boundaries.

How will character creation work
I will work with each player individually to create a character for the campaign. Players will either create their character in D&D Beyond or Foundry, their choice. I use the traditional stat-rolling method of 5e: Roll 4d6 and drop the lowest. But players are also welcome to use point buy if they prefer. The campaign will begin at level 5. I recommend using the Eberron: Rising from the Last War book as a starting point for characters, but all official 5e content is acceptable when creating a character. When it comes to Homebrew and third-party content, I am open to it so long as I get to review it first.
