In a single adventure you can delve the vast Dungeon, participate in political intrigue, and claim your fortune and fame all within this single vibrant city. Prepare for a fantastical city where wizards and dragons fly high above the rooftops and ogres and lizardfolk walk among halflings and humans. 🕵️‍♀️We will being with the adventure "The Murderer's Trail." A four session adventure that gets you a taste of the system and setting. But don't worry, this game isn't on rails. With the 671 page tome at my fingertips, I can pivot to whatever you want to do and where you want to explore within the city. 🎲I've spent the last 20 years living and breathing this world, allow me to share it with you and your friends. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈We are an inclusive table, friendly to all walks of life.

About me

🎲 I have been playing TTRPGs since the early 90s, with a wide breadth of system knowledge. I bring my decades of experience to the table to make a fun, unique, and friendly night of gaming. 💼 I am a professional game designer, illustrator, and voice actor. 📺 Watch me on Twitch.tv/RockPunchATL https://youtu.be/wT-IZAXqxzU?si=uZqtjWkEtCLDU-0Z 🏰 Ptolus (pronounced like Tol-us) is my go to setting and I wish to bring my passion for it to your table and make you fall in love with it just as I did.

Character creation

Creating your character

You are open to use Demiplane for character creation or pen and paper. You may also use the Demiplane phone app if you wish. Rolls may be done through the app or with physical dice, whichever you prefer. We will start at level 1. Prior to Session 0 I will send out a Dropbox link to our Player Packet. In it contains all the information about Ptolus you'll need to know if you'd like to read ahead. I'm also available on Discord to answer questions. There will be pre-generated characters for anyone who wants to jump in right away.

What to expect

Preparing for the session

To get a taste of my style and Ptolus I suggest watching a bit of this Actual Play. It'll give you a great starting point into the setting. https://youtu.be/wT-IZAXqxzU?si=uZqtjWkEtCLDU-0Z Please join the Discord prior to Session 0 and pick the channel that matches your play day and game. We will use Discord for voice and video (optional).

What Jeffrey (When Suddenly Games) brings to the table

🛝HOW WE PLAY I use Foundry VTT for handling dice rolls, in game handouts and images, and combat maps. I will provide you with the link to the server and your username and password. You will also need to join the Discord server for voice and video (optional). 📚WHAT I BRING I have a background in voice acting and threatre, so I always attempt to bring a unique life and sound to the NPCs that you meet in the world. This enforces the roleplay side of the game that I believe makes Ptolus flourish and come alive. I have run Ptolus in a variety of systems, with a long running campaign following the Banewarrens campaign book. I have access to several Ptolus modules that could theoretically take a group from levels 1 to 10 with ease. ♟️WHAT SHOULD YOU EXPECT? I am your cheerleader. We want to make for some awesome memories and if that means you one-shot the BBEG then I think that'll be an amazing story to tell! To see how I run a game, check out the four part series of the official re-release of the Ptolus book by Monte Cook Games https://youtu.be/wT-IZAXqxzU?si=uZqtjWkEtCLDU-0Z 💼WHAT SHOULD YOU BRING? I encourage the players to find fun images for their characters so we can make tokens for them. We will use these tokens in Foundry for keeping up with general character placements during action sequences. If you have any further questions please reach out!

Homebrew rules

As Daggerheart is new, at this time I do not have any homebrew rules. We'll be playing RAW.

Safety

How Jeffrey (When Suddenly Games) creates a safe table

Ptolus is a High Fantasy setting with sprinkles of horror (ghosts, body modification & body mutilation), fantasy sci-fi, and fantasy drug use. I promote an open dialogue at the table and if at anytime you feel uncomfortable with a scene please let me know and we will resolve it in a manor that is narratively appropriate but meets your needs. The gameplay is mostly driven by you, the players. While I do seed plot hooks, it is up to you as players to seize them and take action. There is an entire city of people to talk to you and learn from, chances are if you don't know the answer someone in the city certainly does.
