The Bloom Beneath the Fading Moon - Heavy 5e homebrew

Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign

About the adventure

It's the year 6275 of the Mithral age in the world of Andulara. Within the great forests surrounding the great city of Sherejan, an ancient evil stirs. A druidic group known as the Blooming Maw, claiming to be guardians of the land and defenders of nature, attack the people of Sherejan and disrupt the city's trade routes, all while working toward some inscrutable end. At the same time, they gather support within the city itself as they preach against the city's waste. With sinister forces moving and an impossibly old conspiracy coming to light, it will take a group of heroes to stop the city from falling to nature's cruelty. โŒ›This is a short point crawn that starts at level 3, meant to run from 6-10 sessions but could possibly go beyond. Using a mix of 2014 and 2024 rules. ๐Ÿ“– Determine the dynamic of the game and it's main story by your character's backstory and the factions you involve yourself with. ๐Ÿ Some experience with the game is required - do note the homebrew mechanics will change some aspects from the game's normal rules. ๐ŸŽฒ Homebrew mechanics to increase player fun and character depth. Spell points, a crafting system that measures in days instead of weeks, and much more. ๐Ÿป Very Homebrew friendly! Got an unofficial race, class, or subclass you've been dying to play? Ask about it! DM is willing to go over homebrew and balance if needed. ๐ŸŽฎ Media Inspiration - Dragon Age, Final Fantasy 14, Baldur's Gate 3, Genshin Impact, Skyrim, Witcher 3

Additional details

How to prepare

Players need to have a microphone, as well as a discord and a Forge account to connect to foundry. 5e published content will be provided to the players by the DM so the only other thing you need is a willingness to learn a few changes to the rules and to read through the character options.

What I provide

I'll be bringing maps and tokens via Foundry VTT, music via a discord bot that you will have prior warning to long before it starts playing any music, and access to all of the currently published 5th edition material for you to access as well as a veritable hoard of homebrew.

Gameplay details

Players can expect a fairly relaxed game environment and an inclusive space to explore different character concepts. There are homebrew rules for downtime - such as magical item crafting and training to learn new skills and abilities. There are also additional customization options separate from class and race. The game rewards system mastery and your willingness to do a bit of reading but doesn't punish players who don't want to go down a complex character customization rabbit hole. The DM is an avid user of the rule of Cool and wants to make sure everyone's boundaries are respected.

How will character creation work

Once applications are accepted you'll be given an invite link to a discord server that will have resources for you to get started making your character. Session 0 will involve going over rules and the bulk of character creation once those rules are explained, but the DM will be available to answer questions and help with character creation before session 0 if you want to read through the rules and start making a character before session 0. Character Sheets will be primarily made entirely in Foundry.
