About the adventure
The New Frontier is a campaign where players embark on a daring adventure into the vast, untamed wilderness of unexplored lands. The story begins in the settlement of Glimmerdawn, a fledgling outpost established by an ambitious exploratory group seeking to claim and develop this uncharted region. As part of a group of pioneers, adventurers, or even hired hands, you've been drawn to this wild frontier. Perhaps you seek freedom, redemption, or simply a chance to build a better life. Whatever your reasons, survival will not come easily. The wilderness is vast and hostile, filled with untamed creatures, environmental hazards, and remnants of forgotten civilizations. Expanding the settlement will require grit, strategy, and teamwork, as you push into the unknown. The campaign takes place in a homebrew setting and introduces bespoke survival and expansion mechanics that bring the challenges of frontier life to the forefront. Players will manage resources, fortify defenses, scout new territories, and establish vital infrastructure, all while contending with the harsh realities of the untamed land. The choices you make and the paths you take will determine whether Glimmerdawn flourishes or falls. So pack your gear, watch your back, and try not to die too quickly - there's a whole new frontier out there waiting to be tamed.
