About the adventure
What if your best D&D game became a famous novel? 📖 TTRPG to BOOK 📖 As a professional writer, I am offering both my services as a DM and as an author. We will craft the story together and play it as a D&D campaign. Meanwhile, I will write it as a fantasy novel. As a player, you will own 10% of the book's authorship, meaning that your name will be on the cover and you'll earn royalties! 🔥 FULL D&D EXPERIENCE 🔥 Not only a book—you still get the complete D&D experience! - Epic campaign with mystery, investigation, dungeons, and combat. - Leveling up and developing your character. - Immersion and exploration in a fully-fledged fantasy world. - Memorable adversaries. - And anything else you want! ✨ PLOT ✨ I have 7 plot lines that could serve for the TTRPG-to-book scheme. We will explore them beforehand to settle on your preferred option. They all happen in the same setting, but they range in diverse topics such as war, dark intrigue, social-political intrigue, cozy Ghimli-like, oniric/faerie-like, romance, pirates, and others. See the 7 plot lines below.

Gameplay details
🧡 7 PLOT LINES 🧡 This are the 7 Plot Lines currently available to play this game. Some are described in more detail than others. 1.- THE FALCON’S GAMBLE – Game of Thrones with dwarves and elves across the Iron River region. Several temporal lines following a multi-generational conflict, with war and arcane mystery as driving forces. 2.- THE SYNDIR LEGACY – The crime-laden city of Devilport from the perspective of a fallen noble family; a cross-generational epic about the transition from Feudal Nobility to Urban Aristocracy. Topics: Commerce, early capitalism, political intrigue, high stakes, classist societies, urban design, family drama. 3.- BLACK CREST ACADEMY – Learn arcanism in the infamous, ill-reputed institution, the only magic academy by the Devil Sea. 4.- PIRATES!!! – Only ships with arcanists on board sail the Devil Sea. Folklore has it that the Devil Sea is populated by otherworldly creatures that would drown anyone who can’t magically protect themselves. I’m of a simpler idea. Every other ship, your enemies, carries mages on deck. Are you gonna sail without them? ‘Cause I’m not. 5.- REBELLION – Mine slavery, revolts, taverns, bards enticing the populace to rebel against the unfair treatment of mine slaves and against their lords. 6.- THE FIFTH DEITY – Secret Cult of Lunule, and old forgotten Goddess that fits nicely into the current cardinal pantheon –and some claim it holds everything together. 7.- AURORA – I’ve always wanted to write a book with that title. Just make a (great) character whose name is Aurora and we will work it out from there. 💜 SYSTEM 💜 I offer an innovative custom take on D&D that respects the game's core while adding a deeper narrative layer to it. The sophisticated narratology is based on dramatic realism and character depth, valuing role-play over mathematical crunchiness. There is a spectrum on how much I use this approach versus the regular D&D game. Each plot lines falls along that spectrum.

How will character creation work
As your Playing Character will also be the protagonist of the novel, we will work intensely on its background, motivations, personality, goals, and weak points. We will do that while playing: The first sessions will be focused on a discovery of who your character is and how they behave.
