Kinks & Cantrips: Lost Paradise 🏳️‍🌈 Mature 18+

Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign

About the adventure

This game is a mature game using the third party supplement Kinks & Cantrips. In the vast, endless sands of Pethoasal, whispers stir of an ancient secret buried beneath the desert's scorching heat. A hidden city, untouched for millennia, waits to be uncovered. But beware—dark forces conspire, and the gods themselves may have a hand in the fate of those who seek it. Enter a world inspired by ancient Egypt, where pharaohs rule with divine right, and mystery permeates every corner of the land. In this unforgiving realm, you will encounter gods, monsters, and the shifting sands of power and betrayal. Your destiny is intertwined with the lost city, and the map to its treasures lies hidden in a mysterious artifact that only reveals its secrets when shown to the sun. What Awaits You in Pethoasal? A Hidden City Beneath the Sands: Explore ruins and forgotten tombs for clues to the legendary city of Sekhet-Ra, said to house treasures of unimaginable power. The Sun-Activated Map: Find a mysterious artifact that reveals a treasure map when exposed to sunlight—could this be the key to a forgotten empire? Pharaohs and Politics: Navigate the complex web of royal politics and intrigue, where one wrong move can mean your death. Who will you align with? The ruling Pharaoh, or the secretive, shadowy figures who manipulate from behind the scenes? Monsters and Mythology: Face deadly monsters, guardian spirits, and creatures spawned by the influence of the snake goddess Syssanna, who has a dark, unsettling hold over the kingdom. Divine Favor and Curses: Seek the favor of the gods—or risk incurring their wrath. The gods walk among the people, and their will is as fickle as the desert winds. Themes Intrigue and Political Machinations: Navigate the dangerous politics of the royal court and uncover ancient secrets. Exploration and Adventure: Travel across deserts, uncover lost cities, and survive the dangers of Pethoasal’s harsh landscape. Gods, Monsters, and Magic: Deal with the influence of divine beings and the eldritch forces that lurk beneath the sands. Details Experience Level: Suitable for both newcomers and experienced players. Starting Level: 1st. Session Style: Focus on roleplay, exploration, and the discovery of ancient secrets, with plenty of combat encounters. The sun beats down on the desert, and the ancient city lies waiting for those brave enough to seek its riches. But remember: Syssanna's influence grows stronger each day, and not all treasures should be unearthed. Are you ready to uncover the secrets of Pethoasal?

Spoon made exploring Kinks & Cantrips DnD really fun! I loved the role-play heavy style of the sessions, and the characters and setting were creative and memorable. I thought Spoon put in an extra effort to help me prepare my character for the first session and that really helped us mesh as a group and jump right in from the start.

Spoon helped me so much with my first ever Chronicle, only the first few sessions in and I am having the time of my life. He makes sure every player is doing all right in and out of the game, it truly is a safe space. Furthermore his knowledge of the game is impeccable and it takes a lot of talent to deal with six players. I want to say personally thank you spoon.

I am new to gaming with DM Spoon – but he has very much impressed me so far! We have had a few great sessions now with him – and each has been truly enjoyable. I think he is a great DM. I already see that he carefully listens to the players and caters for things for their characters. I also see he puts a lot of time and effort into his creative world and the people in it as well as the different story lines. From the first moment of session zero – to our latest session – He has worked to make everyone feel welcome and included. Our group has jelled remarkably well – with a wide range of characters and personalities. We have a lot of fun and laugh a lot! I very much look forward to our new game every week! I am playing in 4 other games and his game has quickly become my favorite. If you are looking for a rich world with well fleshed out NPCs and interesting adult storylines – I think you should give DM Spoon a shot.

How will character creation work

Characters will start at level 1 using the 2024 rules. As this is a homebrew setting certain races will not be available (please inquire for more information.) Kaitor has a unique pantheon. Character creation will take place during Session 0. Characters will be made on D&D Beyond and ported into Foundry. K&C content is added once we move to Foundry. Players will start at Level 3. We will discuss whether we will level based off of XP or Milestone.
