Blood of the Royals - (Short Campaign 3-5 sessions) (Beginners)

Dungeons & Dragons 5e, Homebrew Game | Campaign

About the adventure

The kingdom is in mourning. The beloved King has passed, and his son ascends to the throne. As the weight of leadership settles upon him, the new monarch plans a somber pilgrimage to visit his father’s final resting place. But when the royal procession reaches the grave, a dark and unsettling discovery awaits. Join the King's Guard as they embark on a perilous journey of mystery and betrayal. Protect the young king as he faces an unknown threat that lurks just beneath the surface of his kingdom’s sorrow. What foul forces stir in the shadows of the royal tomb? Will the truth be uncovered before it’s too late? The kingdom’s fate lies in your hands. Adventure Awaits. Secrets Will Unfold. The Guard Must Protect. This is a beginner friendly game. This is a small campaign expected to take anywhere from 3-6 sessions start to finish. Ideal for people that want to try out D&D. The only rule you need to know is that we bend the rules to have fun.

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.

Recruiting notes

This is an adventure suited to beginners, it is actually a re-write of my first ever adventure as a DM! It is suggested to begin at level 1. Premade , easy to play characters can be provided for new players to jump straight into playing.

He’s especially great for beginners, explaining rules clearly while encouraging creativity and roleplay. No idea is ever shut down—he finds ways to make every player’s choices feel meaningful.

He is patient with all his players and really descriptive. He also loves minis/visual aids so he does his best to accurately depict the game elements, giving you a good overall grasp of the situation you're in

Additional details

How to prepare

I expect my players to have a working microphone and camera. Show up in time, a.k.a 15 mins earlier. Access to discord and a web browser. Accounts with username and generated passwords will be given to access the private server.

What I provide

Discord server, Foundry VTT with character creation plugins, maps, music, battle maps, tokens, spell effects, dice customisation

Gameplay details

The adventure is going to have fighting, blood magic, dark rituals and others. On session 0, settings and rules will be discussed. There are things that are off limits from my end. And I am opened to adding limits for the players to create an environment where they only care about the enjoyment of the game. For the safety of the players, during anyone at any time can speak and express themselves about situations that make them uncomfortable.

How will character creation work

Since we will be using FoundyVTT, there are plugins that go over the character creation. In terms of start levels anything below 5 is ok, whatever the players want. We can discuss it and it is up to the group. We will go over the character creation on session 0. As well as a few house rules. Examples: Potions are bonus actions. No disavantage on prone opponents with ranged weapons. Unless vision obscured. Devil tokens instead of inspiration.
