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 ------------- Hi! Wrath of the Kaiju is an exciting series of Kaiju hunts taking place in the Yokai Realms, an eastern-asia-inspired setting from the amazing folks at Loot Tavern, described in the Ryoko's Guide to the Yokai Realms, one of the most successful TTRPG Kickstarter projects of all time. Five factions are active in the Yokai Realms, and all of them are looking for the help of brave or otherwise trouble-looking adventurers to deal with the most troublesome form of Yokai there is: Kaiju. Each faction has their own goals, and would like for these quite literally colossal problems to be dealt with in different ways, each offering their own reward. Which of these will appeal more to you? And what might these factions be scheming behind the curtains? The campaign is designed with a dynamic level tier, so the Player Characters should start as a group of either 5th, 11th or 16th characters! A nice occasion to jumpstart the initial grind, with the certainty that the dangers that lie ahead will pose an adequate and exciting challenge. So... Do you feel ready? Then sharpen your dice, and let's hunt some kaiju!
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!

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).
