About the adventure

You and several people have accepted a call from a strange person, who wish to keep their identity hidden away from you, although even so the amount of gold and platinum that they are offering is quite a lot more than most mercenaries work, although to be exact the work that you were offer is not that simple, you were ask to deal and investigate the Yunaka Foundation, a military industrial group with a powerful chokehold over the economy of Mondral, as they produce and earn so much that the economy of Mondral probably cannot survive without the Yunaka Foundation. Although several strange incident have occur recently around the Yunaka Foundation as there use to be three daughter of the previous Yunaka leader, but now the youngest daughter is ruling over the Yunaka Foundation while two other daughter is missing, one is known to be dead during the rule of the previous Yunaka leader, but the other daughter have gone missing even with youngest daughter high gold worth request. Around 10,000 gp if someone was able to found her alive. Other than the personal drama of the Yunaka Family Clan, there have been strange movement that was made public by unknown source about the organization that they are selling illegal equipment towards the an criminal organization or even worse yet the terrorist organization of the Black Legion which recently proclaim that they were the one who blown up the city of Orange Corral. Even so most of the politician of Mondral proclaim that it is baseless accusation, or stay silent, even so the silent of unturn tale never last forever. It is only a matter of time before the next page of this tale to be open and untold.

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.

Foundryvtt is a system that is beyond what most virtual tabletop is able to do. Thankfully some wonderful people have allow us to create a great experience. Of course there will bugs, but that is with all program.

Gameplay details

We utilize several tools for our campaigns. For players, we offer all the necessary D&D Beyond books to create your characters. Additionally, we use FoundryVTT with various modules to enhance gameplay, providing smooth combat and helpful macros that prioritize roleplaying. FoundryVTT exceeds the capabilities of most virtual tabletop systems, thanks to the efforts of dedicated individuals and my own modules combine together. While there may be occasional bugs, this is common with any program. Alongside, I own every D&D Beyond book needed for character creation, which will be shared directly with you and your companions. This ensures a smooth and easy character creation process with numerous options presented cleanly. I generally adhere to the rules as intended by the designers, but I also believe in the "rule of cool" approach. This allows for gameplay and storytelling experiences that go beyond strict adherence to rules.

How will character creation work

At the start of the campaign we begin at the 3rd level, and with the goal of aiming around level 10-12, but I have a special rules that extend further if the story alongside the player wish to reach further we can go up to level 20. Although level 7-9 spells are lock, but their spell slots do not, as I do not wish the spellcaster to impower the martial classes in the party. Y'all will have 27 point buy allowing better character customization, alongside one free feat and we are playing in somewhat limbo D&D 5e 2014 and D&D 5e 2024, as some rules from 2024 are being use in my game, but the basic is still 2014. Although heavily homebrewed to stream line the combat for a more fun and roleplay base settings compare to boring combat system. Any classes or may it be sub-classes that is from a Wizard of The Coast official release is allowed, and any homebrew classes or may it be sub-classes are allowed as well with the rules of I can change some stuff up for balance, or maybe for technical reason that Foundryvtt may have.
