About the adventure
Plunder the skies, strike fear into the lands below, and carve a path of destruction in the name of Jarl Thrain, Storm King of the North! Dark fantasy with an evil twist: ruthless raids, aerial combat, and political machinations. Play as skyborne marauders wielding might and magic to dominate or destroy those who dare stand against you. In Thrain's Glory: Raiders of Skies and Scales, players take on the roles of ruthless raiders, sworn to serve Jarl Thrain, a mighty Storm Giant bent on vengeance and conquest. From your airship fortress in the frozen northern mountains, you’ll descend upon the unsuspecting southern kingdoms to reap their wealth, burn their cities, and crush their resistance—all for the glory of your master. Plunder and Pillage: Raid trade routes, sack villages, and seize spoils to strengthen your airship and crew. Unbridled Power: Wield destructive magic, command dragons, and let loose your dark ambitions. A World Fighting Back: The Vanguard of Ezra, a coalition of desperate defenders, rises to challenge your terror, while rival factions such as the Despair Empire of Fogholt plot to gain the upper hand. This is a high-stakes evil campaign with plenty of opportunities for moral ambiguity, political intrigue, and brutal combat. The choices you make will shape the future of the war-torn lands of Ezra.

About me
I'm currently a House DM at The Kobold Lounge, where I run 3 homebrew campaigns for adults, as well as an introductory game for kids and another for teens. I started with a weekly game at my house. Shortly after I learned to play, I had to move. To keep up with my new hobby, I found and joined ahome game that was posted online. It was a terrible experience. Nobody at the table was having fun except for the DM, who delighted in playing against his party. His players looked and sounded bored, almost miserable; I never went back. Instead, I decided to start my own game with one goal: to make sure everyone has fun! -- If money is an obstacle, please DM me. I care more about us having fun than making money. I put a lot of effort into becoming the DM I am today, I make immersive, creative content that literally over a hundred players have loved & that's why I'm here. I'd like to make a living doing this, but I care about my players & that's never going to change.--- I started running my first homebrew D&D campaign in 2016. Since then I've engaged in collaborative storytelling with a ton of amazing players. I enjoy being a Sandbox DM, and I love players with unique ideas they want to try. My tables, physical and virtual, are the place to try out that crazy character idea or homebrewed subclass. I want to DM on StartPlaying to reach a wide player base, bring people together to have a blast, and provide opportunities for players everywhere to participate in my games.

Creating your character
This campaign starts at level 6. We'll go over character creation in depth during Session 0, but I have players roll stats, rerolling ALL 1's & you can take a free Feat I have virtually no restrictions on character building. If it's not gamebreaking, count on me being cool with it.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You'll need a dndbeyond account & a discord account. A mic is necessary. A rudimentary understanding of the rules is helpful but not necessary.

How DM Nug Gnome creates a safe table
We'll go over all triggers and safety tools during Session 0. I'd just like to mention that fostering a safe, welcoming environment for all players is very important to me.
