About the adventure
The year is 9 AG (After The Great Wizard War) and the lands of Repoluv are in turmoil, although the war itself mainly affected the pangea of Aurolian the discovery of harnessing magic has left effects all over the world. People keep within their city walls, and after Repoluv was formed just forty years back their armies spread thin. Finding skilled people to protect the roads has grown difficult, and a new profession is born. You are Road Wardens. Hired, ambitious, forced or other, your job and duty is to keep the roads safe. You can expect a world inspired by 9 years of DnD Homebrew, Adventure Time, Dungeon Meshi while still staying true to being DnD, just slightly modified! ------- This campaign is set in Avoliof, a homebrew world I've been working on for over four years now. The campaign will be set in Mefor, a magical forest located in Repoluv. There will be references and stories from all over the continent and sometimes the world, from the pangea of Aurolian to the archipelago of the Oin to the continents of Garof where the campaign is set! I’ve been working on this world for 4+ years and I’ve tried to make the world feel alive even if you will be spending most of your time in the forest and the villages of it. The party chooses where to go, I will always try to create interesting content no matter where you go, and I will also of course try to guide you to locations that I might have prepared or think will be interesting, we are making a story together so I appriciate you telling me what you want to do and where you want to go! I will always have a player first focus for story, your backstories matter the most, even if the forest and the setting itself allows for many stories to be explored. End of the day though you are road wardens though, however that doesn't mean you need to warden the roads, you could ignore it, however just like with everything there will be consequenses. If you commit a crime expect people to dislike you, if you help someone without asking for payment they might repay you later on. I really focus on making the characters both yours and the non player ones feel alive. I focus on preparation before sessions and improvisation during sessions, this means sometimes crazy things can happen. From a portal that sends you to another part of the forest, to something more simple like a roadside encounter. These smaller "mini encounters/quests" create interesting roleplay encounters that sometimes grow into larger story beats. To summarize this campaign is free form with me as your guide, I create a world for you to explore, and as you explore that world and change it it reacts back to you. Every action has a reaction sometimes small sometimes big. My hope is that if you sign up for this campaign you can become a part of this world even if just for a couple of hours.

About me
I've been playing TTRPGS for the better of 9 years now, mainly as the DM. I'm curretly running three long term campaigns my currently longest ongoing campaign being over four years long. I'm 22 and currently getting my second degree in game development within game design right now, making games and running them isn't just my passion but it's part of my professional life. With a focus on a mixture of difficulty and rule of cool I think myself as DM that tries to favor story without forgoing the dice and systems that the story is based around. However most importantly I want everyone to feel like they aren't just a part of the story, but a part of a different world. Credit: _ffeivel on Twitter for the banner art (one of my players! <3)

Creating your character
I will help make your character in DnD beyond however if you already know character creation, you can make one on any platform that you can share with me and then I can put them into the campaign easily! I will teach you how Foundry works, how modular it is, how to create items, and even make abilities and spells! This allows us to if we want in the future, make completely custom and homebrew things for you! I will explain more about the world and setting at session 0 as well as any help you might need with character creation, but generally speaking all DnD classes and even more well known homebrew classes are on the table, as well as races and such. So if you have an idea in mind of a character you want to play I'm sure we can make it work within Avoliof!
Please add me on discord "etherdawn" or message me here for a discord server invite if you want to talk to me!
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You don't need anything more than a decent mic and a decently stable internet connection, if you have a character idea in mind then that's amazing, but absolutely not a necessity as we can brainstorm something together. Everything else will be provided to you come session 0. From character sheets, virtual dice, maps, and so you don't need to buy anything externally.
What Etherdawn brings to the table
We will be using Foundry VTT for this campaign. I also bring my own maps and maps made by other professionals. I'll bring all the 2014 core DnD books and the content they contain.
Homebrew rules
Lancer Initiative rules, Dying condition, Bonus action potions, Evolving Cantrips, Resting Bonuses, Food Bonuses.

How Etherdawn creates a safe table
Your first session is free, feel free to contact me on Discord under the name of Etherdawn before you sign up! I also tend to reply faster there. Session 0 will highlight all the rules and regulations we will go over during the game, the game isn't focused on trying to terrorize you, but the warnings are simply there since they might come up during play. The game will only touch on things within the world, and this campaign has no focus on real life drama or politics. If you forget to notify me of showing up late then you will be charged for that session, I will offer you the next session for free. As long as you are in the campaign you are paying for your seat. If you miss 3 sessions in a row I will remove you from the campaign even if you are still paying. You will always be able to reach me on discord and you can always write or talk to me one on one if something is bothering you during or after a session. When a new player joins the current players are allowed to voice any conserns after the free session and if a majority wants them to leave then they have to step away before the first paid session. I try to make it as democratic as possible.
