About the adventure

Across this continent, the undead are rising. Soldiers long since lost have been pulling their way out of unmarked graves, attacking communities. Tensions are rising. The government doesn't know what to do. Whispers of revolution have even begun to circle. Things have to change. And that is where you come in. You will start as level three adventurers brought in to simply slow this problem down. However with each choice you make, your characters will find themselves drawn deeper into this world and the secrets of the war Tal'Dorei believes it has firmly put behind it. This epic campaign will let you be the heroes in the Critical Role setting of Exandria. Every thing you do will impact the world as it slowly becomes yours. Who knows what mysteries you will uncover, what else you will find? What adventures will your character find themselves on? But maybe more important a question than any of these, how do you want to do this? For those of you unfamiliar with how I run my games, here are some reviews that speak to the experience: +"Jacob is top notch. Not only is he inclusive and attentive, he's just fun! He's knowledgeable about the game, able to work with any range of player experience and is apparently capable of blending character backstories together in seamless fashions." +"Amazing person to be having as a Game master; Dependable, valuable, moves his schedule to everyone else's, makes things work as the players go along with their shenanigans. Jacob will shift his pre-planned reasons just to fit whatever your characters would do, and fit it in the story like you're casually putting butter on bread in the morning for breakfast!"

About me

Hello adventurers! My name's Jacob and I've been running TTRPGs for over a decade with five years of experience full time GM-ing. With a long background in theatre as well as a former designer of escape rooms, I bring a wealth of experience to every game I run. My focus is on making a fun and satisfying story regardless of player history with the game. No matter whether your characters are trekking through a mountain pass, exploring the furthest reaches of space or even attending a spooky summer camp, you should be experiencing a well crafted adventure you will never forget! I also bring an attentive eye to representation within the game space. As a former organizer and field director for numerous political campaigns, I have fought for this first hand and will not let it go unnoticed in my games. There is a wide spectrum of games I have played and run varying from DND (5e and 3.5), Pathfinder (1e and 2e), Doctor Who, Kids on Bikes, Honey Heist, Mutants and Masterminds, Call of Cthulhu, Wet Hot American Summer, Everything Is Dolphins, Fallout RPG and much, much more. I look forward to crafting unique gaming experiences in these wildly different worlds exclusively for you!

Character creation

Creating your character

Character creation will happen as a part of Session Zero. I would highly recommend bringing a character concept or two but we will do it collectively to allow us to integrate personal and group backstory into the campaign proper.

The current party

You will be jumping in at level 11. The party is equal parts absurdly silly and deeply dramatic!

What to expect

Preparing for the session

The game will be done through Discord with the use of Owlbear.Rodeo and D&DBeyond. With that in mind, you will need a working internet connection. I would recommend a working microphone, headset and a computer. You may use your own dice or digital dice.

What Jacob Cordas brings to the table

I will provide a dynamic and highly flexible adventure that caters to your exact playstyle. Every choice will matter as you go on this epic adventure.

Safety

How Jacob Cordas creates a safe table

This game will be an epic adventure across the world of Critical Role With that in mind, this game will take safety seriously so we can comfortable and securely roleplay all of the fantastic elements. We will have a full Session Zero that will include the Monte Cook RPG Consent Checklist. From there, while we play, we will use a variant of X, N And O Cards called Yellow/Red Cards as well as an Open Door Policy and a regularly scheduled Break.
