Hunting Kaiju in D&D!🏯Ryoko's Guide Wrath of the Kaiju campaign
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
“Things are kicking off. More and more kaiju are crawling out of the ether. And by crawling, I mean romping with the grace of a toddler destroying a cityscape of sandcastles, drawing on the walls of a sacred temple, and letting out squeals of delight that bring avalanches crashing down. Innumerable earthquakes, incessant floods, unceasing tempests… you name it, we’re seeing it, and I hear you’re helpful. Or at least, that you’re low on gold. Subduing these creatures won’t be easy. They’re embodiments of nature and magic; I’m not even sure they can be killed. You might have to find out what makes them tick and stop it tocking. Knowledge will be the whetstone with which you’ll sharpen your wit, and with wit you’ll whittle them down, or something.” — Ryoko Welcome to Yokai Realms! Wrath of the Kaiju is an exhilarating series of kaiju hunts set in the eastern-Asia-inspired setting from Loot Tavern, and described in the Ryoko's Guide to the Yokai Realms, one of the most successful TTRPG Kickstarter projects ever. Five factions seek brave adventurers to deal with the most troublesome kind of yokai: Kaiju! Each faction has unique goals and rewards, and hidden agendas lurk behind the scenes. Which faction will you side with, and what secrets will you uncover? The campaign features a dynamic level tier, starting at level 5, 11, or 16. A nice occasion to jumpstart the initial grind, with the certainty that the dangers that lie ahead will pose an adequate and exciting challenge. Do you feel ready? Then sharpen your dice, and let's hunt some kaiju!
Game style
Rule of Cool (RoC)
“Rule of Cool” emphasizes creative story beats over sticking to a system’s rules as written. Players have the ability to push the limits of the rules or even break core rule mechanics at times if the Game Master thinks it is interesting, fun, or cool enough.
Combat Heavy
“Combat Heavy” games emphasize the combat mechanics within their systems over roleplay or puzzle solving. There are frequent and longer battles with enemies and a greater emphasis on tactical game play.
Are you over the low-level grind and small-time adventuring? Then venture in the Yokai realms and go as big as you can get, and let's hunt some kaiju!

Andrea is an incredibly skilled Game Master who excels at encouraging player creativity and storytelling. Since I was relatively new to the system we played, I really appreciated how Andrea guided us through the rules in a way that kept the game engaging and fun. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I can definitely recommend booking a game with him! 😊

I have known Andrea for a long time and recently I have tried Outgunned with him. My experience was great, as always: thanks to the excellent visual supports, the game is always stimulating and engaging. Even though I was completely new to the system, I was still able to follow the session. I would like to emphasize that Andrea is a master who always puts the player at ease and promotes a collaborative environment in the game. Don't be afraid to dive in, Andrea is an exceptional master who always manages to make the player have fun!

What I provide
I will host the game on the Alchemy VTT platform!
Gameplay details
The adventure is based on the Yokai Realms setting, which is a bright and at times idyllic setting, but that hosts formidable foes and is rooted in east Asia culture and tropes. I am not of Asian origins, but I will treat the setting and its influences with the utmost respect. In the adventure there ARE going to be combat and mild fantasy violence. Before the first session I will share with each of you a copy of the Monte Cook Consent Checklist, so you can make me aware with more specific problematic content that is triggering for you. I will then make sure to adapt the adventure so that it is enjoyable for everyone! At the end of each session I'll stick around for some idle chat, which we can use to highlight what we liked from the session (stars) and what we'd like to see in future ones (wishes).
