About the adventure
With the onset of The Court's Wild, and a large-scale attack on kingdoms around the world, The Kythar Consortium is pushed to its fringes to keep the peace while trying to confront the growing evils. The Kythar Consortium was once just a College created to teach the scattered people of the world the secrets of magic and sorcery. Over the centuries, it has evolved into a great nation-state centered around the Academy with a handful of different cities around the neighboring bay. The Consortium prides itself on the various diplomats and arcanists they have around the globe to influence world politics toward the positive. You will be one of the many students called upon to aid the college in helping the world. š - Magical Academy Campaign Setting: A Group of Aspiring Mages are Sent on Peacekeeping Missions For Their School š - Story Tailored to the Party/Player's Decisions: Become the Heroes of a Nation, Wanted Vigilantes or Side with the Enemies ā³ - Homebrew World that Evolves with Game Choices: 8 Active Campaigns all set in the Same World, At the Same Time š¹ -Level 3-20 Adventure Divided into 3 Acts: 1 Country Level Crisis (Levels 3-8), 1 Continent Level Crisis (Levels 9-14), 1 World Level Crisis (Levels 15-20) š¤ - Diplomacy and Role-Play Paths Always Available: In-Depth NPC's and Enemies that can be Befriended or Exploited with Smart Decision Making š² - Custom Crafted Mechanics for Party's Unique Situations: RP Mechanics, Skill Challenges and Resource/Group Management Mechanics Designed for Your Group ⨠- All Skill Levels Welcome at All My Tables: Whether New To D&D, TTRPG's or just Role-Play I'm Experienced with Teaching Many First-Time Players This game is set in my own homebrew setting with it's own pantheon and unique lore but we will be using Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition as our ruleset of course. My games are role-play heavy with an emphasis on fun and laughs but that doesn't mean there wont be plenty of epic battles along the way! The story will hopefully travel along many different themes throughout our play time and I love to evolve my plot based around the characters that my players create. So expect many twists and turns along the way. Most importantly my game is inclusive above all other things. I will not allow harassment in any form at my tables and if you cannot respect other players then you will not be invited back. I like to create a fun and inviting environment for all and I expect my players respect that. If you have any questions, please do not be afraid to reach out and ask!

About me
Howdy folks! I go by ChrispE but you can call me Chris. I have been playing D&D and other tabletop RPGs for over 12 years now and ever since i have been cursed with a horrible fate... The fate of the FOREVER GM! However, I have persevered and turned my curse into a blessing. Using it to craft a large, ever-evolving homebrew world of unique characters for my players to explore; and now I want to share it with YOU! I run two games every weekend which I livestream to Twitch, if you'd like to check out how i run my games you can check them out on https://twitch.tv/chrispe_vdl or on youtube under ChrispE_VDL. I run respectful games for all people and will not tolerate harassment in any form at ANY of my tables, so if you are looking for a fun and safe place to meet fellow TTRPG fanatics then reach out and say "Hi!" I'll be running games in D&D 5th Edition as well as Star Wars 5th Edition in the near future but am open to new games as requested!

What to expect
Preparing for the session
A prepared player is the best player! Only a mic is required and the ability to use foundry. I ask that you come prepared with your character ready and updated in Foundry VTT before each session and obey the rules established at the table before we start.
What Chris "ChrispE" VDL brings to the table
I will prepare many different items and plot points in Foundry before the session. I have many modules to ease character creation and gameplay like D&DBeyond mods and more. I am an artist and I homebrew all of my settings with hand drawn maps. I can prepare simple drawings of your characters and other descriptions as needed but I will also do elaborate commission art of your character if you would like to purchase it!
