Dungeons & Dragons 5e, Homebrew Game | Campaign
About the adventure
Welcome to AukenVale, a land where colossal beasts roam, ancient mysteries lurk beneath the earth, and only the bravest hunters dare to carve their legacy. In this Monster Hunter-inspired D&D 5e campaign, you and your party will take on the role of seasoned hunters, tasked with tracking, battling, and harvesting the monstrous creatures that threaten civilization. ⚔️ Hunt the Beasts, Claim Your Legacy From towering wyverns to abyssal horrors, each hunt is a unique challenge requiring strategy, teamwork, and the right tools. Face ever-deadlier foes as you climb the ranks of AukenVale’s hunting guilds. 🛡️ Forge Your Own Gear System Slay monsters, gather rare materials, and commission custom armor and weapons infused with the power of your fallen prey. Your crafted gear can: 🦴 Grant skill bonuses (e.g., enhanced tracking, stealth, or acrobatics) 🔥 Provide resistances (e.g., fireproof armor against dragons, toxin immunity from venomous foes) 🧙 Boost spellcasting (e.g., enchanted hides that amplify arcane power) 💀 Increase hunting lethality (e.g., serrated weapons that cause bleeding effects) 🐾 Track and Research monsters, in order to discover their weaknesses, and natural habitats, and Create a comprehensive Bestiary. 🌍 A Living, Changing World Your actions shape AukenVale—defeating or failing to stop a monster can change the environment, economy, and even the balance of power between settlements. Will you become legends or cautionary tales? 📜 The Hunt Never Ends This campaign is designed to run from level 1 to 16, but the journey could last longer—or end sooner—depending on your choices. Will you uncover the dark truths behind AukenVale’s monstrous plague, or will you fall as prey to the very creatures you hunt? Sharpen your blades, ready your spells, and prepare for the ultimate hunt. AukenVale awaits!
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.
Combat Heavy
“Combat Heavy” games emphasize the combat mechanics within their systems over roleplay or puzzle solving. There are frequent and longer battles with enemies and a greater emphasis on tactical game play.
