About the adventure
Journey through a world of mystery as valiant Cloudbreakers! Two thousand years ago, the Cloudfall descended, devastating the world. It isolated the disparate cultures of the world and unleashed monsters upon them while they were vulnerable and divided, forcing them to survive alone. But a few years ago, the cloud walls between several regions have suddenly come down, and suddenly civilizations that had formed completely independently of one another are now face-to-face, forced to reckon with their contrasting histories. From this strange predicament arose the Cloudbreaker Alliance - a group of brave explorers hailing from every clan and creed, united to breach the cloud walls and reintegrate the lost civilizations once and for all. In doing so, the Cloudbreakers will need to brave uncharted lands, combat overwhelming threats, and meet the needs of a varied and disparate populace as you work to tear down the cloud walls. The road ahead is a long and perilous one. Will you be able to help the Cloudbreaker Alliance reclaim what was lost? Will you be able to build a new future together? Will you be the heroes this world needs? This is a medium-length Cloudbreaker Alliance campaign where your team of Cloudbreakers will undertake missions, explore exotic locales, deepen your Bonds with the people and communities you meet, and take part in several additional location-based activities for various rewards. This is a narrative, objective-focused campaign, with certain milestones to complete before the main story's "end", but can theoretically keep going for a very long time!

About me
Welcome to the Adventure Theater! I'm Li (also known as Liam or Lian), and I enjoy few things as much as I enjoy helping a player bring their characters to life, whether that means fleshing out backstories, integrating them into the world via original NPCs or locations, or throwing wrenches in their plans like a devious little monkey who wants nothing more than to see them cry. It's all good fun! And the stories I've had the honor of witnessing have been truly awe-inspiring and humbling. Join me on these crazy adventures, and we'll find your place in our shared fantasies!

Creating your character
I will provide the Cloudbreaker Alliance Core Rulebook in my Discord server as a pdf. Using the information in Chapters 5, 6, and 7, as well as the additional "Cloudbreaker Alliance Beginner's Guide" series of videos on YouTube by Don't Stop Thinking, you will make a level 1 character using any of the official materials on a Google Doc-accessible character sheet template. I will also help you make custom lifeforms as you desire. I am always open for questions/interrogation.
Chapter 3 - Demon Pacts and Haunted Nodes Our heroes arrive in the Illumite city of Smoothstone for the third stop of their Copper Grade Tour to find its denizens in a state of heightened alert. Fiends are on the prowl, causing a sense of distrust - one never knows when a prideful thaumaturge will suddenly be taken over and become a demon. Meanwhile, a Cumulus Node has been discovered in a creepy, abandoned mansion... Our party: Gao - Asura Brute 3 (Berserker) Sunny - Artificium Instrumentum Thaumaturgist 3 (Healer) Overseer Verity - Angel Arcanist 3 (Spellweaver) Almeta Golwin - Half-Elf Soldier (Peacekeeper)
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players should have functioning microphones and be confident in their computer's ability to run Owlbear Rodeo, as well as be able to participate in voice calls with minimal disruptions. No installations are necessary. I allow you to roll either physical or digital dice, and I'm not going to hound after you to validate each roll if I can't immediately see it.
What Li brings to the table
All Cloudbreaker Alliance materials, the core rulebook PDF, and an entertaining, optimized VTT experience that will ensure you have all the information you need quickly accessible.

How Li creates a safe table
Lines and Veils will be viewable from the Discord, and X/N/O cards will be available in Owlbear Rodeo. During the Session 0, we will be discussing the tone and overall structure of the adventure, as well as determining what kind of group dynamic we're working with - do any of our Cloudbreakers have a prior history? Are there any fun character dynamics we can anticipate? Where do we get our enchiladas?
