đź’€New Dawn (Drop-In Style Campaign)| Inclusive/Intermediateđź’€
Restore the Elementals to their true power, stop a necromancer king's revival and their descendant from taking over the planet!
About the adventure
[NOTE: This is a drop in style campaign that covers Acts 3 and 4 of my 4 act campaign. This listing is for higher level players and not recommended for beginners. Please sign up for the other New Dawn listing for the lower level Acts 1 and 2 sessions which are beginner friendly! Artanga was once a beautiful continent - until the Great War. With the rising threat of the Azumi Cultists looming over the continent- it is up to you to stop the Necromancer’s Descendant from taking over the population. As a player, you will find yourself a member of the "New Dawn Guild". New Dawn Guild acts as a hub for those looking for something in their lives while also helping the citizens of Artanga! Your character will take on missions with other New Dawn Guild members that will send you to far off places. Uncover the history of Artanga and help the Guild stop a powerful threat! This drop-in style homebrew campaign is perfect for players who want to play on occasion or every week! While following the D&D 5e system, and original setting written by [Haley, Donna and Hal Howard] - this session is HOMEBREW HEAVY. Loot, gold and items carry over between sessions. New one-shots each session will push the Guild to new locations, slowly uncovering a larger threat to Artanga! I can't wait to create amazing stories and memories with you all!

Highly recommend Knots! This was my first time ever playing and he helped walk through every step of the way and was super helpful and informative and didn't make me feel like I was less just because i was new, highly recommend him as a DM!

Jason ran a great game. He had everything set up on Shard Tabletop and made exploring the map feel like a real dungeon crawl. This was my first time using Shard but once I got it all set up, the game went very smoothly.

I started off playing with Jason as a brand new DnD player. He was very patient and helpful with helping me learn how to play. I have been playing with him for a few months now and I am having the best time! I can’t imagine someone else being a DM for a game. So inclusive and pays attention to detail with world building! Wish I could add more tags!

Knotz ran the first campaign I was ever a part of, and I have since enjoyed the unique world he’s built over time. I enjoy playing campaigns out of books, however there’s just something about a curated world that incorporates your character’s personal life and lore into the story. 10/10 experience.

We have had an awesome time with Jason, and are looking forward to our next session this evening. He is an excellent storyteller, and makes it easy to become immersed in the campaign. We’re pretty new to D&D, and he answers any questions that arise quickly and clearly, which allows us go stay invested in the story. We’ve done both one shots and his drop-in campaign, and cannot recommend him enough.

Despite being new to both D&D and DMing when the campaign started Knotz did a lot of preparation and is great both at taking player feedback and at putting his foot down if a player gets too out of hand with grey rules. He has a fantastic skill with narrative storytelling and world building, and choses some really fun background music and sounds to set the tone for each map and key scene.
Character creation
Creating your character
Players will create a character leveled based on a set level set by me. We will discuss this information in my discord server prior to the game. You will play on Shard tabletop. The campaign link in my Discord will link to Shard where you will then have access to all of my purchased content when creating a character.

What to expect
Preparing for the session
Webcams are not necessary but a working microphone with a discord account is needed. Players will make an account on shard tabletop to import their characters and join the campaign. When the game is played, my discord server will be used to host the fun! JOIN DISCORD BEFORE CHARACTER CREATION - https://discord.gg/TqD7zwj2yF
What Jason (KNOTZ) brings to the table
Ambient music, character art, and rule of cool are all welcome at my table! I used Shard tabletop and have content unlocked for when you make your characters. I try to find ways to make the games unique and engaging for all. We will follow D&D 5e rules, but always open to a potential change of pace depending on the situation.

Safety
How Jason (KNOTZ) creates a safe table
Throughout the game, you can utilize X, N, & O cards by reaching out to the DM directly through Discord messaging. We'll have a brief 10-minute break around midway, but feel free to step away whenever you need to attend to yourself (we operate on an Open Door Policy). Additionally, players are encouraged to contact the DM via direct messaging if they have any game-related worries.
