About the adventure
Welcome to the world of Saryl, a land living by lamplight. A long time ago, the world saw technological wonders. Machines existed that allowed mortals to spend their time relaxing, having fun, making art. But greed grew, and machines were built to take. To take land, wealth, people. Anything. War brewed and the machines grew more advanced. More eldritch. Great monstrosities of flesh and metal, of bone and blood, of nightmares and ruin. The world was at the brink of utter destruction, and it was then that the Sun God Lethas sacrificed himself. Tore himself to pieces and lifted the lands of Saryl up. The war beasts they created fell into the void sea as shards of the sun god scattered like rain. In the years following the world recovered. The shards of sun that fell were gathered and turned into lamps that allowed crops to still grow. Eventually shards were woven into sails that allowed ships to cross the cloud sea between the floating isles. The world recovered. The world bloomed. You find yourselves in the land of Roven, in its capital city. Today is Adventurer’s Day, when prospective adventurers come to join Roven’s famed adventurer’s guilds. You have a bounty of choices, and a world of troubles to solve. ❣️ Explore the islands of Saryl, discover legends made real. ❣️ Dive into the Void sea, search for sun shards, and fight ancient mistakes. ❣️ Fight your choice of enemies, with a story tailored to you and your characters. ❣️ Explore a living world with tons of NPC to meet, befriend, and recruit ❣️ Build your guild up as you’d like ❣️ Enjoy custom ancestries, spells, and more. Character Creation Rules ❣️ You’ll start at Level 3 ❣️ Array will be 18, 16, 14, 12, 12, 10 ❣️ You’ll have a bonus feat if you don’t start with one otherwise ❣️ You’ll have an uncommon magic item from your backstory ❣️ Plus Quality of Life changes for most 2014 classes ❣️ You can choose between 2014 and 2024 classes, though for the most part we’ll be using 2014 rules. 💖Be the Light within the Dark or Take Advantage of the Shadows! 💖

About me
Hello, my name is Pixels and I'm thrilled to provide a wonderful gaming experience for you. I've been gm-ing for nearly a decade, and am versed in a number of systems including Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition, Pathfinder 1st and 2nd editions, Starfinder 1st edition, Open Legend, Call of Cthulhu, Monster of the Week and Shadowrun. I tend to be a Rule of Cool gm, using Rules as Written as a base to allow for player creativity and problem solving. Not everything is allowed, but there's often a way to bend a rule to make for an amazing outcome. I look forward to telling a story with you!

I had alot of fun in the brief period I was able to play. There is alot of thought and love put into the world and that is immediately visible and represented in fun and diverse characters.

Pixels has been my GM for a year and a half in what started as something for me to do on Saturday nights in the middle of lockdown when there wasn't much else to do, but very quickly it was just something I wanted to do because it was so fun. They run a very inclusive and open minded game, and encourage creativity. If I have an idea for a character I know they'll work with me to make something that can fit into the larger story and be fun to play.

Character creation
Creating your character
We'll be doing character creation during session 0. Your characters will be level 3. We'll be utilizing roll20's character sheets. You can use most wotc books, but please let me know if you're using the 2024 versions. Homebrew and UA are okay, but must be approved first.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You'll need a mic, discord account, and roll20 account. Reading the rules ahead of time would also be appreciated.
What 8bitpixelheart brings to the table
We'll be using roll20, with a combination of custom maps that I make myself as well as maps used from artists on patreon. I'll also offer both compendium content on roll20 as well as other third party content that you can access on discord. I use both character voices and ambient music. I prefer tactical combat, but that can always be adjusted to player standards. I'm usually rules as written but if there's something cool you want to do we can work it out together. I love doing a lot of homebrew features and abilities, and this campaign will be full of that!
