Clouds of Brass- Sail Airships, Explore Ruins, and Meet Giants!
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
Clouds of Brass is a steampunk D&D campaign set in my homebrew world of Deuso, intended for any level of experience to start playing in the fantastical skies of giants. This campaign is a fairly even mix of combat and roleplay- including tactical fights against adversaries atop airships and convincing giants to place their trust in you, or at least not kill you! These islands of ruins have abandoned dungeons of puzzles and sentinels left guarding them- as well as treasure troves of loot for you to uncover and bring back to the ship. Look forward to a character-focused story, where you are responsible for the future of this ruined place. Thousands of feet in the air, away from civilization as you knew it, and surrounded by frightening presences of giants and constructs that may not be so frightening. Why are these ruins of a fallen empire so high in the sky? Why have giants taken over to rule them like kingdoms? What conflict brews like a storm in these smoking skies? New friends, away from home, involved in conflict you've practically stumbled upon- Clouds of Brass await you! To the skies!

How to prepare
Before our session 0, I expect all the players to have a discord account so we can all message and call. In terms of character creation, it's alright to come to the session 0 with basic ideas, as long as there's some idea of story and your class. Session 0 can be used as a session for me to aid along your character creation, while discussing the world and everything else previously mentioned. I expect players to have a basic understanding of the rules but less-experienced players are still welcome.
What I provide
I will bring a dndbeyond account that owns nearly every subclass, species, spell, and all the new content as part of dnd 2024- which I can use . I can also use Roll20, if we decide to use battle maps! I tend to use a mixture of different character voices and, while I'm no voice actor, I do try to put on different inflections and accents to differentiate characters' voices. I do adore the rule of cool, of course- allowing you to bend the rules in order to do something very cool for your character or to creatively problem solve. This stretching of rules will be at my discretion, with my rulings as the final say- but cool stuff is always great to see from players! A good build is always good to see as well, though, and will hopefully let you do great in the more tactical combats, if you're oriented more towards that side of the game.
Gameplay details
A session zero is absolutely required in my games, for a few reasons. We'll discuss everyone's characters, the expected plot that I can tell you, and the beginnings of the campaign. I will also make sure that I know of what could possibly trigger anyone or any content that can make anyone very uncomfortable. The basic dos and don'ts! This session 0 will also be used to decide on 5e vs 2024, theatre of the mind vs battle maps, and how we'll use breaks if people need them! I will stress here as well that this table is very welcoming to LGBTQ+ people, as I myself am a trans queer woman- so some queer people at the table is always loved! And, of course, any bigotry of any kind will not be permitted.

How will character creation work
Any official 5e source is allowed to be drawn from for character creation, with UA and homebrew requiring my approval to be used. Deuso is an old world with a lot of lore behind it, and I won't be bombarding you with that- but I will send players a document ASAP (before session 0) of vital information to know when crafting the backstories of characters and where they're from, including the pantheon and different locations you could come from. As long as the character will fit into the vibe of the world somewhere and is willing to work together in a party, you can go wildly creative with your ideas! The starting level shall be 2, and the stats will be determined by 4d6 (drop the lowest) in the session 0. I am more than willing to have ideas bounced between myself and you when you're making your character- I shall be a helping hand at any opportunity I can be!
