Game style

Roleplay Heavy

“Roleplay Heavy” games place the focus on the story, the characters, and the world they live within, and tend to lean hard into the various roleplaying elements of the game. These games will frequently find the party talking with NPCs, exploring the personal elements of their backstories, or even having emotional moments around the camp fire.

Party notes

Looking for 1-2 more to round out the group. Sign up to reserve a spot. Character creation is point-buy with 200 starting gold and a level 3 start (2024 and 2014 allowed). Ends around level 12. Runs 12‑18 months. Combat is tactical, but new players get plenty of help. The party as of session 0: Tiefling Bard Lizardfolk Druid Orc Barbarian Gnome Rogue
