ALPENJAGER MOUNTAINCRAWL - 5E HOMEBREW

About the adventure

​Welcome to Alpenjäger, a low-fantasy campaign setting designed for 5th Edition Dungeons & Dragons. Montane citadels stand as the last bastions in a dead world. High among the ruined peaks of a dying world, the last great citadels of mankind cling to survival. These fortress-nations are the true contemporary metropoles, carved into the bones of the mountains, are locked in endless war - fighting not just each other but the horrors that lurk below. INSPIRATIONS Mad God – Brutalist decay and the grotesque machinery of a ruined world. Hunt: Showdown – Bleak landscapes, brutal combat, and the ever-present threat of the unknown. Bloodborne – A world of esoteric horrors and civilizations on the brink of collapse. The Night Land – A sunless, hostile earth where humanity is besieged by the dark. THE ENDLESS WAR Life in the citadels is harsh. Industry keeps the war effort alive - factories churn out armaments. Relics - airships, advanced automatons, and mechanized walkers - are rare, remnants of a lost golden age, hoarded by the most powerful warlords. THE UNKNOWN Magic is a dying art, its practitioners viewed with equal parts fear and desperation. Some whisper that the ruins below hold lost secrets - terrible wonders that could end the war or damn what remains. ACTUAL PLAY Characters are survivors, mercenaries, and war-weary souls trying to carve out their place in a world that has no mercy. We will decide on the focus of the campaign once characters are made. CLASS GUIDELINES Martial characters thrive, but magic-users exist - rare, distrusted, and often changed by their knowledge. INTO THE BREACH.
