About the adventure
This is a beginner-friendly, open-world campaign set in a high-fantasy world of political intrigue, fractured alliances, and character-driven plots. There is an even balance of exploration, combat, and roleplay, as well as occasional text roleplay between sessions. You are new recruits to one of the three major adventuring guilds. The Guild of the Talon. You will accept quests and travel around the world to places such as the industrializing Free City of Mardek, the militaristic Dahnite Protectorate, and the swashbuckling Kondorian Empire. Enjoy following your character and party over a long course of time, and being able to pursue character goals and projects over downtime and time-skips.

About me
I am 23 years old, I've been DMing for 9 years. I grew up roleplaying on Roblox until I learned there were tabletop games all about roleplay! I studied Global Politics, which is reflected in my world and campaigns. If you like factions, politics, and interactions between unique societies, my games may be right for you! Community and inclusion are most important to me. My catchphrase is "Maybe the real _____ is the friends we made along the way"

Creating your character
The Second Half of Session Zero will be character creation. We can help walk you through the process. If you join later in the campaign, we can schedule a time before the next session. For experienced players: All D&D content is allowed, including Blood Hunter. UA is mostly not allowed. Homebrew content is up to DM discretion. Level 1, Roll 3 Arrays, and choose one. You may start with a magic item or ability that fits into your backstory. You may also have NPC connections

How Tylernal creates a safe table
My table is a safe space and It is important to me that everyone feels comfortable. I am very feedback-oriented and will make use of Stars and Wishes following each session as well as other Safety Tools. I highly value transparent communication between players & DM. The reason I love D&D so much is that it is both a safe space and community for me.
