About the adventure
Welcome to Sharn, the City of Towers, where the clash of magic and machinery echoes through the labyrinthine streets! Here, the promise of progress and innovation lures the ambitious, while the less fortunate scrape by in the shadow of the spires. As a group of down-on-their-luck misfits from the lower city, you’ll find yourselves caught in the gears of a city built on secrets, corruption, and unrelenting ambition. The air buzzes with the hum of arcane energy, while beneath it all, the criminal underworld thrives, its tendrils reaching into every corner of Sharn. From lightning-powered tech to ancient conspiracies, every job you take on will unravel more mysteries—and draw you deeper into the web of deception that threatens to tear the city apart. Can you navigate the high-stakes politics and perilous streets without losing yourselves in the process, or will you become pawns in a game played by the city's most powerful? The City of Towers has room for only the strongest, and it’s only a matter of time before the gears grind you down… or lift you to new heights.
Step into the spellbinding world of Eberron, where magic and machinery intertwine against a backdrop of intrigue and adventure. In the towering city of Sharn, reminiscent of the atmospheric streets of Arcane, you'll navigate a labyrinth of secrets, shadowy organizations, and cutting-edge arcane technology. This campaign offers a rich tapestry of steampunk aesthetics and pulp noir storytelling, inviting you to become part of a narrative filled with complex characters and morally intricate decisions. Whether you're a seasoned adventurer or new to the realm of tabletop role-playing, this journey promises to captivate your imagination and immerse you in a world where every choice shapes the unfolding drama.

Gameplay details
Session Zero will be handled asynchronously via Discord Chat, though I am available for a voice session if that will help you with any decision making challenges that arise. Character creation and updates will be handled via D&DBeyond, using my Master Account, which includes access to 17 official Character Creation books. A number of homebrew rules will be discussed and agreed upon before being added to the campaign. Each rule has been curated to enhance the Noir/Pulp vibes of a storyline in Sharn the City of Towers.
