About the adventure

Hydaelyn has faced many threats, and many heroes have risen to the task, ready to venture further and further to meet them. But now, as the prevalence of adventurers rises, and legendary warriors make names for themselves against enemies that would threaten the world itself, a question emerges: Despite their fame, how can heroes save those they cannot reach, or thwart villains they cannot see? When you, a series of Guild recruits, end up tasked with looking into a malevolent figure wreaking havoc across Eorzea, you find yourselves swept up in a plot that leaves you in unfamiliar lands. Can you find the mysterious traveler, unravel his plans and make your way back to Aldenard?

About me

Hey there, my name's Fitz (they/he), and I have been a GM for about 9 years—3 of those professionally! I run consistent weekly paid games, high concept one-shots, and have built up quite the tight-knit community over at what we like to call "Also Dragons". Most of the campaigns I run take place in an overarching homebrew setting, spanning different genres, corners of the world, and differing types of magic and technology. Together they paint a larger picture, each player adding a brushstroke.

I've played dnd since 3.5 back in the early to mid 00's but it wasn't until I started as a player at Fitz's table that I feel like I really have seen what a TTRPG is truly capable of. In addition to the quality and time put into each session, I truly feel immersed within each setting. I appreciate how much effort is put into intergrating each character into the overarching story. I can't recommend Fitz enough to anyone looking for a community and to be part of a longrunning narratively driven campaign.

Truly one of the best times i've ever had in dnd. Fitz is an incredible pleasure and has completely revitalized my love for dnd. Taking the plunge and joining the games ive joined has been one the greatest pleasures in my (recently) turbulent life. Truly and honestly some of the most delightful times i've had. Looking forward to many more sessions in the future :)

Fitz is a super compelling story teller who knows when to add drama and conflict into a session! I have been in many sessions with them where things have been wild in the best ways possible

Zach is the real deal. Literally blows me away session after session. I feel extremely lucky to have found their ad for their games and have been playing in two campaigns for about 6 months now. Honestly fantastic and we are building a nice little community as well. If you get the chance to join one of their games you should go for it.

Zac knows how to keep you wanting to come back for more. His homebrew world is solid and well rounded and grows every day. It feels like major decisions made by characters have an impact in the world. He's willing to work with the player on obtaining feats and skills in a campaign as apart of character development. He knows how to control his table and catches players attentions by giving great lore drops.

Character creation
Creating your character

Due to the use of 3rd party content, including brand new classes, character creation will not start until session zero, where characters will start at 1st level. We'll familiarize folks with new FFXIV-themed material and then begin discussion of potential backstory connections with the world or fellow players. Nothing worse than a player making a character they are passionate about only to find that it's not a good fit for the setting or the party! There are some other details around equipment and house rules that will be elaborated on in Session Zero and may inform some player choices!

The current party

Thursdays at 3pm Pacific (6pm Eastern) *Session zero/sit-in free for new players to get a feel for me as a DM!

What to expect
Preparing for the session

Stable, reliable internet connection and audio quality required. Video preferred but totally optional. We will be using Discord for voice, video, campaign tracking, and battlemaps!

What Fitz♦️🍏Also Dragons brings to the table

I will be providing a large compendium of 3rd party 5e content that will help us to achieve the feel and power fantasy of the Final Fantasy series! In addition, I have animated battle maps which we will be using via a screensharing VTT method. I prefer this approach as I feel it best emulates an at-the-table feel and reduces the amount of tabs and things for people to keep track of!

Platforms used
Safety
How Fitz♦️🍏Also Dragons creates a safe table

Session Zero allows the players to take the floor, ask questions about the setting, make requests for content they would (or would not) like to see. We will get you oriented with the Also Dragons server, discuss house rules and general community dynamic, and go through content-consent checklists to gauge levels of comfortability with subject matter that may (but will likely not) arise.
