About the adventure
A mythic western tale of gods, grief, and grit. The Drylands were never a place for legends. People came here to work, to survive, to leave the past behind. The Forgotten Gods, if they ever existed, were buried long ago in the dust and the mines. But now something ancient has stirred, and the land itself is rising in anger. A colossus, summoned by an ancient power, shattered the town of Wyllinās Gulch. Whole battalions have fallen trying to stop it. And itās only the first. The question now isnāt how to win, but how to hold onto hope when the world turns against you. Youāll step into the boots of prospectors, pilgrims, and unlikely prophets, strangers bound by loss, fate, and stubborn defiance. Together, you'll forge a new story in the wreckage of the old, facing impossible odds and making impossible choices. š§ This is a game for players who love: - Creating complex, layered characters with unfinished business - Collaborative worldbuilding and emotional roleplay - Big cinematic moments with deep personal stakes - Myth, mysticism, and meaningful questions about belief - Fighting titanic monsters because itās the right thing to do, even if youāre scared š² Beginner-friendly. Roleplay-forward. Player-first.

About me
Hello! Pull up a chair, friend. This world is sorely in need of stories worth telling. A bit of lightness, a bit of courage, a bit of clever wordplay. There's nothing like a roleplaying game to draw out the best in us, and also to let us explore parts of ourselves that rarely see the light. That's why I play. I hope you'll join me! Iām always learning and growing, and I try to read as much as I can about D&D, game design, history, politics, and storytelling. I am a big fan of Dimension20, especially seasons where Aabria Iyengar or Brennan Lee Mulligan are the Dungeon Master.

What Isaac brings to the table
No matter your experience level, I set a welcoming, inviting tone at my games. Your questions are good, your baggage from your last game is not too much, your experience matters to me! Pull up a chair, friend. All the sourcebooks you need will be available to you online through my Demiplane account. Iām a musician and an artist at heart, so I love incorporating graphic design elements, musical soundtracks and ambient noise, beautiful maps, and character art to enhance the experience of the game. I think the biggest thing I bring to the table is a flair for the dramatic. I was a musical theater kid in high school. Character voices. Storytelling. High drama. Heartrending conflict. This is the stuff I like. Very much.

How Isaac creates a safe table
- I have a digital RPG consent form I will distribute before the game so you can let me know what lines and veils you have before we begin. I will keep your responses anonymous for the other players. - We use a digital X-card system. If you are ever uncomfortable with the content, click the X-card, and we will pivot, no questions asked! - We will take a 10 minute break about halfway through the session.
