New Babylon - ARISE(XP❗ DnD❗ Solo Leveling style❗ 🏳️🌈)
You've been gifted abilities, and the world expects you to use them to explore these dangerous portals. You up for the adventure?
About the adventure
📖This game will focus on the life of adventurers in the modern city of New Babylon. Portals open to other worlds, and your team is sent in to find the catalyst and close them. Sounds simple, right? ⚠️The first time a portal opened the world's governments spent too long trying to figure out who had access to it. It was in international waters, which meant it was subject to maritime law... but there weren't any laws about portals to other worlds. ☣️After 48 hours, the portal changed direction; instead of letting those of our world in, it let the creatures within come out. 🌐That is all that the rest of the world knows about the incident. What is known is that a small percentage of the population became 'Aces;' humans with the ability to enter the portals and tap into the abilities needed to fight and survive within. 🧙♀️That's you. You're an 'Ace.' You gain strength inside the portals, growing stronger with every encounter. When you are done, you leave with metals, gems and monster bits that defy current science, making them extremely valuable. ☠️Get strong, get rich, die in battle or in luxury when you retire.☠️ 🧙🏼This campaign uses 2024 DND rules with XP, but gameplay is based off of shows like Solo Leveling and GATE. All concepts for what you are within the portal are allowed, as long as they fit within character creation rules!

About me
Hey! Thank you for reading up about me! Now that I've run over 700 games for a variety of amazing players, let me just say that I love this job. It has become more of a community of awesome people, and I am all about it. To new people looking for a place to land, you can have as much, or as little, social contact as you want. No one will judge. I've played D&D since I was a little geek in a small town in upstate NY. I now live in a medium sized city in Colorado, and I'm a much larger geek. If there is a roleplaying game out there, I've probably tried it. I keep coming back to D&D, though. D&D is home, the rest were places I visited. Nice to meet you! What I provide my players: 🦸 Hero Worship! I am a big fan of your character, perhaps the biggest! I'm not an adversarial DM. In fact, if you demolish an encounter through planning, strategy or just plain luck I will celebrate with you. My goal is for everyone to have fun, and as long as everyone is having a good time I consider that my DM win. 🌄Interesting people, places and things. Even in pre-fab adventures I adjust the maps, rearrange the encounters and create interactions with NPCs that will make them easier to remember. ☔A Safe Place to Play. I understand and adapt to all sorts of 🏳️⚧️genders/🏳️🌈lifestyles/🎖️experiences/🎨neurodivergencies. They/Was? Perfect. Need some time for your second DID personality to get involved? I got you. Old time military gonk with opinions? Sure thing. Keep my games a safe place for others and all are welcome. Heck, I'm also fluent in typo! 🆕 A landing place for new players. I will take all the time you need to help you learn and find your pace with us. I have never met a player who wasn't super amazing with newer players as well. Be comfortable playing with us. 🗨️ A discord server for your game where you can journal, chat and be social with the other players. 📖 Consistent rules (optional and otherwise) that have been put into place after long discussions with players and other DMs. You will always know where you stand with me. I do NOT mind 🎣, however. If you want to try something new, toss that cheeto on a hook and see if I bite. ⬆️ I update my game accounts often, and you'll have access to my books on my Beyond and all the rules in roll20. I attempt to maintain a large library as well, putting some of the money I make into purchasing new books every month.

I am in a couple of Wyrd's games. I really enjoy his NPC's, their personalities draw you in and their reactions to the players feel on brand. Combats feel unique, challenging but with built in mechanics that rewards players for thinking tactically. He does a great job of adapting to the groups vibe, doesn't force RP when it's clear the party is looking to fight while aparty that is looking for more RP will get chances to resolves situations outside of combat. Overall really enjoying my sessions with Wyrd.

I've been playing in Wyrd's games for over a year now and have always had a ton of fun. They're open to creative character ideas, and their homebrew world is incredible. Wyrd is always available to address concerns privately and ensures all players feel welcome and heard. Highly recommend to anyone!

Absolutely the highlight(s) of my week. Wyrd works hard to make his games a collaborative storytelling experience through the fantastic community he's curated and an extensive knowledge of the materials provided. He is one of my first GMs since I started playing TTRPGs a year ago, and I haven't left since. Give him a try!

Character creation
Creating your character
Characters will start at level 3 so that you can be your subclass, with standard array/point buy (Possibly roll, if everyone agrees) and one uncommon item. Oh, yeah... you'll get one epic boon to start. You read that right.
Current Lineup (Just starting!) Golynn Barbarian Geppettin Druid Half Orc Fighter/Warlock Dhampir Rogue Simic Hybrid Wizard ❗ XP, not Milestone! ‼️ Epic Boon to start! ⁉️ Monster Hunter style crafting? 👍 YES! While this game does focus primarily on combat adventures inside the portals, there will be a robust RL city outside to support you and for you to RP in. 🏰 Played in Foundry with all the bells and whistles. Let's have some fun!
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Discord is necessary, as well as a good working mic. Beyond and Beyond 20 would be helpful, but not required. We play on Foundry with all the bells and whistles. Be prepared to work as part of a group - no lone wolves please.
What Wyrd brings to the table
Expect to have some great focused combats, but there will be politics and many chances for RP as well! I use ambient music and character voices to create the right atmosphere. Foundry pulls it all together, making it an experience. I bring thousands of hours of experience with the system, updated maps, and my beyond will be shared so you'll have access to my library as well.
Homebrew rules
Only one real change from the rules - Critical fails only happen when you have disadvantage.

Safety
How Wyrd creates a safe table
A safe space to play is of utmost importance to me. We'll be going over Lines and Veils, and the card system is always available. We'll be touching on some sensitive subjects during the campaign, but we'll handle them maturely.
