About the adventure
Embark on a thrilling level 0-10 Shadowdark adventure set in the untamed wilds of Formoria. This sandbox-style hex-crawl weaves survival elements with emergent storytelling, allowing your choices and actions to shape the unfolding narrative. Traverse treacherous terrain, endure harsh weather, and manage scarce resources as you navigate a realm teeming with danger and wonder. Explore ancient ruins, uncover hidden relics, and delve into the crypts of formidable foes. Form alliances—or spark rivalries—with diverse factions and NPCs, each with their own motivations and agendas. Experience all three pillars of roleplaying—exploration, social interaction, and combat—through epic battles against monstrous adversaries, tense negotiations, and daring quests. Formoria is a dark and gritty region on the northern fringes of the known world, where remnants of civilization cling to the edge of a vast wilderness. Home to reclusive demi-humans, native Northlander tribes, and settlers from the Archatian Empire, the land bears scars of a great war that once raged between the forces of Light and Shadow. Now, new threats—like Orcish invasions and the Lich King's dark ambitions—have drawn unlikely allies into the fold. Join The Valiant Vanguard, an adventurer’s guild formed by the Council of the Dalelands to combat these rising dangers and reclaim the land’s lost secrets. Prepare for thrilling encounters as you carve your path to fame and fortune in this realm of limitless adventure.

How to prepare
Microphone required. Webcams are optional, but preferred. Players will need accounts for both: Discord & Forge https://forge-vtt.com/ Having a general understanding of the rules before hand is beneficial, but not required. Once you have joined I will advise you on character creation.
What I provide
We will be using Foundry VTT for maps and discord for chat. I will provide custom maps & tokens, music for ambiance, and fun voices for NPCs. Given the nature of Shadowdark's rulings over rules there will be a blend of rules as written and rule of cool at play.

We will take Bio breaks midway through each session.
