Plunder Riches, Slay Dragons! Old-School Hexcrawl and Survival

How to prepare

The only things you will require are: - Discord account - Forge account (free for the user) - Decent microphone & some relatively quiet space for 3 hours a week. Webcams are completely optional, and we mostly run without them. Other than that - bring your best Conan, Fafhrd & Grey Mouser and other epic scoundrel vibes, and be ready for a rough, dangerous and thrilling adventure!

What I provide

What I provide: - Maps, scenes and visual aids. - VTT assistance & troubleshooting as needed. - (Somewhat) funny voices. - Personalized storylines for characters woven into the fabric of the campaign. I prefer stories to games. I lean heavily into personalized storylines, making them central to the campaign. After all, it is the story about your characters, and they should be absolutely central to it. Handwaving a rule here or there in favor of a particularly cool moment is also something that is known to happen! The most important question at my tables usually isn't the "Are the characters going to win or lose?", but rather "What will their victory cost them, and what will be left of them in the end?" That doesn't mean your characters will be immortal or have it easy! Argosa is dangerous, and so is this campaign too. :)

Gameplay details

Argosa is a harsh world, and many adventures deal with topics such as slavery, blood rituals and eldritch horrors from beyond the Veil. Come prepared. - Lines & Veils are established in Session 0 and strictly adhered to. - I usually do not delve too much into gory details. - Sexual content might be hinted at/alluded to, but is never on-screen or explicit.

How will character creation work

Character creation in Argosa is quick and easy: roll 3d6 down the line, roll for your origins and class, and you can even roll for backgrounds and lifepaths! - Extra equipment and starting gold bonuses are available for those who embrace the random chaos of the dice and generate completely randomized characters in the vein of Old-School Renaissance! - Alternatively, you can build the character by hand, picking options instead of rolling... but where is the fun in that? :) That said, character creation will be done together with the players during session 0. We will go through every step of the process, taking a look at all the mechanical and role-playing features, and will also establish the initial party bonds that brought these disparate heroes together.
