About the adventure
⚓ Hoist the Colours you Dogs! The Blood of the Sea Awaits ⚓ Welcome to a world where the ocean hungers, the coasts bleed, and power lies not in honor—but in what you’re willing to sacrifice. This is a tale of ruthless ambition, dark pacts, and the return of a drowned empire. 🌊 What to Expect In Crimson Reign: Tides of Blood, you will take on the role of pirates, mercenaries, exiles, or nobles bound—by choice or by force—to the Crimson Reign, a faction determined to reclaim the coasts through blood magic, manipulation, and terror. The world is one of: ⚖ Moral ambiguity—you will make hard choices, often pitting survival against conscience. 🏴☠️ Seafaring adventure—storm-lashed voyages, sea battles, and cursed islands. 🔎 Intrigue and betrayal—factions war in the shadows, and allies may be more dangerous than enemies. 👹 Ancient magic and eldritch horrors—blood-bound pacts, drowned gods, and secrets the sea was meant to keep buried. Expect to wield power at a cost. Your decisions will shape the Crimson Reign’s rise—or its ruin.

About me
😈 Chaotic Good GM 🎮 Grounded games but up for a challenge 💫 Good at sticking to the rules when applicable (and having fun when not) 🎗 Capable of managing a diverse group :) I am an enthusiastic world designer and storyteller. My passion for D&D ignited from the very first time I played. It has become my escape from reality, my playground, and my sanctuary. RPGs offer countless chances for players to explore themselves and experience real-life interactions, and my goal is to extend these opportunities to as many people as possible.

Creating your character
I will be using D&D Beyond to keep all player's character sheets organized. If you are unfamiliar with it, I'm happy to help you navigate it. 1) Characters will begin at level 8 2) Use whatever method of HP/Ability point generation that you like 3) No restrictions of race or class - reach out if you would like to add any homebrew content 4) I will have content available to assist with character backstory. Have a rough idea of how your character is connected to the content before the first session 5) 2024 rules If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out before we start.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Welcome aboard seafarer! I hope you brought your sea legs... 🖤 We're glad you've chosen to spend your time with us. Please let me know if you have any questions before we get started. 📢 Here is the link for the Discord server: https://discord.gg/xNWetUWGhC 📢 I will post the information for the game in the "current-game-info" channel. 📢 Please introduce yourself and the character you plan on playing for the session. I will also have additional information about the setting posted in the "lore" channel and "game-rules" channels.
What Calvin brings to the table
🎶 I will have music, D&D Beyond content + VTT for larger encounters, video chat, and hopefully entertaining voices. 🎭 I really lean on the role-playing aspect of the game, so be prepared to talk and interact with the party 😁
Homebrew rules
I'm generally very relaxed when it comes to the rules. If there is an issue or no one at the table knows the rule, I typically roll for it or just make a decision to move on. Please feel free to add your input on any rule discussion, but be respectful of my decision. Keep in mind my goal is to always bring an enjoyable experience to all the players, and sometimes that involves me moving the game forward in the best way I see fit.

How Calvin creates a safe table
My goal is to make everyone feel comfortable and welcome at my table. If I am not providing that for you or there are issues with another player, please let me know. It is never my intention to cause discomfort and I will not tolerate it from anyone else at my table.
