About the adventure

~This game has a Trial period, the first 4 sessions will be at $5 so you can see if you mesh with me as a DM and the other players, Then it rises to my standard rate of $25 if you wish to continue.~ The Tower is a multi-dimensional entity that spreads across the void between universes and connects to them, all for one purpose. To provide anyone who enters into it's floors a chance to gain power. The higher you climb, the more power you can gain for yourself. If you can survive that is. And at the top is the one thing everyone whispers about, the greatest prize anyone could strive for. Godhood. You are a new climber. For what ever reason you need to gain power, you have joined with a few others to try and achieve your goals. Maybe you need just enough power to save your homeland, or maybe you want to try for divinity, but what ever drives you, all you have to do is prove yourself worthy. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This game will involve a dungeon crawling style environment as you climb higher and higher floors of The Tower, and when your ready to head back to the first floor, you will get involved in the plots and schemes revolving around your personal backstories and the lives of other climbers in the metropolis city on the first floor. The Tower connects to worlds of all different kinds, so there will be as much science as there is magic, and more.

About me

Hi, my name is Ergo , I'm a 32-year-old Game master looking to make an actual career in this community. My Creative background began in childhood getting lost in book after book and wanting to have an impact on the world and help the protagonists in their journey. I started playing ttrpg's in 2015 and of course, became the forever GM because no one else wanted to do it. Thus began the creation of my own worlds and the characters that fill them. I love to make games that have heavy player involvement. Want a thieves guild in the city? Done. Wizards tower in the desert? Done. Space station taken over by androids? Already have a name for it. Narrative matters the most to me but boy do I love some crunchy combat.

Character creation
Creating your character

We will have an Onboarding Session 0 to go over everything you need to know about the game and what its like to play at my table. This will count as the first of the 4 Trial period sessions. If you join later we will have the Onboarding session 0 and will pay the full price of $25 but will have 4 sessions at the Trial cost of $5 (This is due to too many people spending 2 hours of my time for session 0 and then pulling no shows so I can at least get something for my time) We will use Tasha's rules for racial stat allocation if you don't choose one of the races changed new multiverse book. Stats will be the array or rolled, but if you roll you will have to abide by the roll unless it's a dumpster fire (Multiple negatives and a highest of 14) You can roll for HP or take the average but will have to abide by the roll. No Multiclassing

What to expect
Preparing for the session

You will need a mic, a Discord account, a Roll20 account, and headphones as I use music and other audio aids.
