City of Shards Gods in Exile Dungeons & Dragons Homebrew 1-20

Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign

About the adventure

The gods of Kalumnor have been cast down from their celestial thrones, forced to walk the world in mortal forms. The Shardstorm, already a source of great instability, has shattered the divine balance, causing magic to fluctuate wildly. Some gods seek to reclaim their lost power, others revel in their newfound mortality, and some have vanished entirely. In the shadows, new deities seek to rise, their followers desperate to fill the void. As factions clash and reality frays, the fate of Kalumnor rests in the hands of mortals.

DM Bob Yo hosted a seminar on a VTT system I was curious about. He was very knowledgeable about the program, presented the information about it in an easy-to-digest way, and was able to answer all questions without difficulty. From this brief interaction alone, I can already tell that he is quick-thinking, humorous, patient, and flexible. He's an excellent presenter who knows his materials well, and I think he has a lot to share with interested parties!

He hosted a very informative and helpful workshop. Made use of his time effectively and was open to questions and comments.

I attended one of Bob's GM Seminars. His presentation was well thought out, his examples were clear, his manner funny and friendly, and he taught on a level accessible to newcomers while also providing tips and tricks that even a veteran GM like myself didn't know or hadn't considered. Although I haven't played an adventure or campaign with him, I can tell already that it would be a blast!

How to prepare

Prior to play, you'll want to have both Fantasy Grounds Unity (the Free DEMO version is fine) and Discord installed on your devices. If you've not used these services before, don't worry! Newbies are more than welcome, and I try to make myself available to anyone ahead of time who needs technical assistance. Once you're in the Discord, I'll be available for assistance in creating characters or anything else you might need.

What I provide

I bring the story and all of the maps/mechanical necessities. I also provide access to a shared DnDBeyond campaign containing all of the character creation options for use if you wish, and a Fantasy Grounds Unity Ultimate License so players don't need to purchase anything.

Gameplay details

We will review safety tools during Session Zero. PLEASE NOTE: DM Bob Yo is committed to diversity, equality, and inclusion. If you support transphobia, homophobia, racism, misogyny, ableism, or any other form of bigotry or fascism, you absolutely won’t be comfortable at my table. You’ll need to look for another game.

How will character creation work

Characters will start at Level 1. You may use any official D&D sources. We will be using the 2024 updated rules, but legacy species, subclasses, etc are allowed per the 2024 guidelines. No partner content, homebrew, or Unearthed Arcana, though I'm a big fan of reskinning/re-flavoring. Character creation should be done either in DnDBeyond or Fantasy Grounds. Upon joining you'll be given a link to join my DnDBeyond campaign which will give them access to all of the published Dungeons & Dragons character options. Please be sure to check the Prep Materials after you sign up for more details about character creation, as well as links to my Discord server that we'll use for chat and voice during our sessions.
