New Babylon - ARISE(XP❗ DnD❗ Solo Leveling style❗ 🏳️🌈)
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
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!
Game style
Combat Heavy
“Combat Heavy” games emphasize the combat mechanics within their systems over roleplay or puzzle solving. There are frequent and longer battles with enemies and a greater emphasis on tactical game play.
Roleplay Heavy
“Roleplay Heavy” games place the focus on the story, the characters, and the world they live within, and tend to lean hard into the various roleplaying elements of the game. These games will frequently find the party talking with NPCs, exploring the personal elements of their backstories, or even having emotional moments around the camp fire.
❗ 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!

Wyrd is good to his players, leaves less to randomness or chance than their preferences. If you like homebrew sandboxes, be ready for a deep dive.

Very glad that this is the game master I re-entered the world of Dungeons & Dragons with. Responsive yet very patient with getting me up to speed on new rules and character building welcomed me into an existing campaign and ran a great game session. Highly recommend.

Additional details
How to prepare
Discord and roll20 account are necessary, as well as a good working mic. Beyond and Beyond 20 would be helpful, but not required. Be prepared to work as part of a group - no lone wolves please.
What I provide
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. 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.
Gameplay details
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.

How will character creation work
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.
