About the adventure

Renametra offers a rich and ever-flowing canvas for adventuring. In this BEGINNER Friendly campaign you can join up and set off into the wider world filled with interesting factions and characters. Renametra offers both the familiar in fantasy, as well as pushing against the norms. Not all dwarves live underground and like mining. Not all elves hold nature above all else. You'll find in Renametra there's diverse cultures that reflect the whole spread from fantasy stereotypes to a more rational unrestricted freedom. Though, also rest assured you'll still be able to dive in and enjoy some good old fashion fantasy tropes as well. In this campaign you'll experience what's known as the Zero to Hero arc to your character. From someone that doesn't have a lot of experience in adventuring or combat, but will rise through the ranks of their favorite faction or leave their own mark in the world to becoming a renowned figure in Renametra. You will face the typical orcs and goblins as well as the truly terrifying beasts and horrors from deep within the submantle, or even from another plane of existence. As a Play-By-Post, you don't have to worry about making a set day and time for every session. Instead, the whole week is treated as the session and you can tune in on your free time any day. There's dedicated discord channels for all manner of actions, either as a party or individually. When combat inevitably comes around, we'll utilize the Owlbear Rodeo VTT to drop in and when it's your turn you can stab that annoying goblin or throw Eldritch Blast at the charging Giant Goat (it's happened). From the Dwarven metropolis of Fatherforge to the humble villages of The Knoll, there’s treasure to be found and foes to be vanquished. Grab your favorite weapon, ready your greatest spell, and set off to make a name for yourself in the Realms of Renametra!

About me

Well hello! Name's David - SideQuestNPC on almost everything online. Coolest nerd you'll ever meet and, oh yeah, I'm a proud Forever DM. Throughout the years I pursued a career in filmmaking, a dream from my early teens. I've also done loads of Youtube content creating, live streaming on Twitch & YT, podcasting, writing, improv, and voice acting. Now that I've reprioritized what I want to do for a living, I've really come to realize that DM/GMing really flexes all my talents and interests into one role that I truly get a tremendous amount of joy and fulfillment from. So here I am, putting myself out there to carve my new path into a really exciting future.

Character creation

Creating your character

I have put together a nifty pdf pamphlet for guiding you in making a character in Renametra. The guide showcases the available species and factions as well as digestible snippets of information of this region of Renametra. All other details are going to be ironed out with one-on-one messaging with me (or even discord calls). Then, all the rest in the session zero. If you're a new arrival into an ongoing campaign there will be plenty of thorough meeting with me to get your character made and ready to join the party on their adventure.

What to expect

Preparing for the session

Discord, yes. Accounts for D&D Beyond as well as Owlbear Rodeo VTT. In combination of the character creation pamphlet guide and D&D Beyond character sheet, we'll have your character backgrounds, mission, and everything else ready to go in no time. This campaign is very beginner friendly and will remain so throughout the entirety of the campaign. No one will be judged or put down for not knowing or remember rules or abilities. I'm here to help you enjoy Dungeons and Dragons in a low pressure setting, and low bar of knowledge universe.

What SideQuestNPC brings to the table

For all games played in the Realms of Renametra we will be using Owlbear Rodeo VTT and Discord, and D&D Beyond for the character sheets. With D&D Beyond, all campaigns with me will have access to the new 2024 Ruleset as well as a handful of excellent add-ons such as Mordenkainen Presents Monsters of the Multiverse and Xanathar's Guide to Everything to add to the perfect Renametra suited characters. The discord server is used for all things D&D with myself the DM (SideQuestNPC) as well as any other D&D campaigns and One-Shots that take place in Renametra (SideQuestRPGs). What to expect? Well, it's simple. Expect to jump in and have fun. My GMing style and love for worldbuilding lend to the goal of making sure players get to enjoy their time with me and in Renametra. I'm not going to bog things down with overly complicated rules or set ups. It's all about getting together, picking up where y'all left off, and seeing what else the Islands have to offer. Definitely shenanigans to be expected.

Safety

How SideQuestNPC creates a safe table

I will always provide a Session Zero (0) for every campaign and player. Here we can take the time to discuss the player's wishes and goals, ideas for character, and learn more about the Renametra setting and factions. During every session, there are built in tools such as the X Card in the Owlbear Rodeo VTT program that will discreetly make me aware of the situation. Most of these situations can be worked out in the Session Zero. After each week, I check in with all the players. This is a great time to reflect on any player's Stars and Wishes for the rest of the campaign.
