About the adventure

⚔️ It began with Roslar's Coffer: A scouting mission to this small undead village by the Knights of Lastwall, has led to its liberation. Undead armies march in a counter-attack, as mortal armies around the world mobilize, having taken notice of the big waves in Lastwall. Join our Elite strike team who spearhead the attack against the intelligent undead leadership! Without the control of the powerful necromancers, such as liches and vampires, the undead armies will begin to fall. We will advance town by town, temple by temple, cleansing the land and bringing Final Rest. ----------- - You will be joining a group of Good-aligned players and characters. - Holy characters will fit easier, but other types of serious, cool characters are welcome. - Evil characters will not fit in with the group. (Session Zero and One are free)

About me

Greetings and salutations! I have been playing TTRPGs for over 20 years, starting with AD&D and have been a DM for over 5 years. Character story and Immersion is one of the most important things to me. My main strength as a DM is setting the right atmosphere to make you feel truly heroic by weaving backstory, roleplaying, and combat into those epic, unforgettable moments. I’m skilled at integrating your character’s story into the world and encouraging roleplaying, even during combat: what you say in the middle of an attack matters for your character immersion as well! My style is serious and grounded, but I always leave room for humor when the moment calls for it. I really enjoy creating opportunities for character interactions. As a storyteller with high skill in improvisation, I can react instantly to your most surprising decisions and affect the world in a meaningful way. I hope we can leave the real world behind: pop culture references, memes, or politics waters down the experience. I want to fully immerse in the fantasy world and enjoy the adventure. I’m looking forward to meeting you!

Character creation

Creating your character

We will talk in a 1-1 quick chat to get your general idea. You can create your character mechanically. Then in Session Zero we are going to discuss player backgrounds as a group and connect backstories. Feel free to talk to me in Discord anytime before the game.

The current party

The team is now level 11: - Champion of Sarenrae, with Grandeur and Sun Domain focus spells. Looking to restore his hometown of Roslar's Coffer and the whole of Lastwall. - A Wizard from Mendev, looking for a new challenge after the Worldwound was closed. Tar-Baphon sounds like a doable long-term goal... right? - Nobleman warrior from Brevoy. Looking to add honor and glory to his noble House, through Holy deeds. - And who might you be, newcomer?

What to expect

Preparing for the session

You will need: - a computer with a modern browser. - a Forge-VTT free player's account here: https://forge-vtt.com/account/signup - a Discord account and a good microphone. No need for cameras. I will send the invites after a quick chat.

What Ekscom brings to the table

We will play in FoundryVTT (hosted in Forge), and Discord. I use maps that I make myself to fit your decisions. Art, music and effects enhance the gameplay. I encourage heroic actions, creativity in combat, and roleplaying. The rules are there to balance the game, not to stifle player creativity. I use the Rule of Cool where it makes logical or common sense. While I wouldn't bend the universe, if you can convince me that an action is possible, it's done. Player backgrounds will have an impact eventually, definitely! Player decisions will change the story and locations you visit. I build the world as you go.

Homebrew rules

1: We use Free Archetype. Ancestral Paragon can be taken as a General skill. 2: There is no way the authors predicted every situation the players find themselves in. I give bonuses and penalties to rolls when the circumstances are not covered, but I hold Realism and Fairness as most important.

Safety

How Ekscom creates a safe table

We will discuss everything in Session Zero. But we are going on a holy crusade. The nature of the adventure expects noble actions from Good-aligned players. It should be a clean adventure without anything triggering, though it will include undead atrocities.
