About the adventure

The Hours have come. Your God-Pharaoh will soon return. But something is wrong. Undead horrors haunt city streets. Demons turn the river to blood. Gods fall dead at your feet. And the world is burning to ash. But you are a warrior, trained since birth to wield magic and might alike. You have faced the trial of the gods and proven yourself worthy. You will not go down without a fight. This is the story of how you survive the death of your world.

About me

Writing and dreaming fantastic stories has been an interest of mine for years. But when I started running games to stay connected to university friends, I found my love for tabletop roleplaying. What I enjoy most about these stories is their collaborative nature. Unlike creative writing, plot lines shift organically from the players choices, both in and out of character, and the final story is something that neither players nor the GM expected. I love presenting players with complicated choices, introducing twists to the story, and being surprised, in turn, by the the choices of the players. I think D. Vincent Baker said it best when he said "play to find out." So let's play.

Character creation

Creating your character

Characters start at Level 14 —Characters get one free feat at level 1 —All officially published WoTC material can be used (following the 2014 Player's handbook and ruleset) —Ability scores will be determined using Standard Array or Point Buy (whichever the table prefers) Character creation will happen during or after session zero. Coming into the session with a character concept in mind is great, but nothing should be finalized until after we've talked as a group. Because of the nature of the campaign some conjuration spells (rope trick, plane shift, Gate etc.) will be off limits.

What to expect

Preparing for the session

Players will need: -Headphone -Microphone -Discord account -Roll20 account Players can read the rules and create characters ahead of session zero. But I also love the idea of players creating characters during session zero as a group.

What Jay brings to the table

The Game will feature: —10 pre-made character sheets for optional use —4 custom, original battle maps, w/ additional maps and splash art —A Private Discord Server —VTT using Roll20 —Homebrew ideas welcome!

How Jay creates a safe table

During session zero we'll discuss what topics players find interesting and which ones they'd like to establish as lines or veils. I specifically want discuss what types of violence and death (e.g drowning and dismemberment) people are uncomfortable with. Combat and death are big parts of D&D 5e, and this game in particular can get dark because of the apocalyptic setting. So it's important for me to have an understanding of what kind of violence goes too far for my players. After session zero, the list of lines and veils will be available as a handout on Roll20. During play, players are free to use a digital X card whenever they feel the story has become triggering.
