About the adventure
Two seats just opened in our Level 6 Age of Ages (Age of Ashes) 5e campaign, and the timing couldn’t be better. The party has stepped through a portal into a deadly jungle, hunting a draconic cult preparing rituals that could burn Golarion to the ground. If you want action, mystery, and big story moments, this is the perfect time to jump in. You’ll be joining an established group right as Book 2: Cult of Cinders kicks off. Expect jungle expeditions, ancient ruins, dangerous alliances, and a cult that won’t go down quietly. What makes this campaign a great pick: - You drop straight into the action at Level 6 with a clear mission and high stakes. - Pathfinder’s epic Age of Ashes storyline, fully converted and rebalanced for smooth 5e play. - A full campaign arc all the way to Level 20 with escalating threats, political intrigue, wilderness challenges, and draconic power rising in the background. Who fits well at this table: - Players who enjoy teamwork, story-driven play, and bold character choices. - New or experienced players; 5e familiarity helps but isn’t required. - Anyone ready for a consistent, cooperative bi-weekly game. What you get when you join: - A dedicated DM running a polished 5e conversion with strong continuity. - A full recap and smooth onboarding for your Level 6 character. - Optional Pathfinder-inspired flavor woven into your build. - A friendly group that’s already bonded and ready to welcome new heroes. If you want a campaign with momentum, mystery, and real stakes, this is it. Two seats are open. The jungle is waiting. The cult is moving. Step through the portal and help decide the fate of a world on the edge of fire.

What to expect
Preparing for the session
You will need the following: - Fantasy Grounds Unity (at least a demo copy) installed and operational. I have a DM Ultimate License so no purchase is necessary by the players. - Discord, installed and ready to use for voice. - Proper Quality Mic with headset. - High Speed Internet Connection. I do not live stream or record any sessions without prior player consent.
What BWatford brings to the table
- Custom maps and Fantasy Grounds extensions to enhance play. - Syrinscape for theme music and sound effects. - All software and books needed via Fantasy Grounds. - I will input any characters submitted by PDF into Fantasy Grounds and provide images and tokens if not submitted by the player.
Homebrew rules
- Rolling initiative every round. - Players may have up to 3 heroic inspiration points at a time and may spend one to reroll any dice roll they make or spend two to make the DM reroll a dice roll or spend three to partition for things they normally don't get to do. Rule of cool!!!! - Enemy Morale. A creature (Int score higher than 3 and not undead) might flee under the right circumstances. - Improved Critical Hits. On a critical hit, the damage is maximum damage plus another die roll instead of doubling dice. For example, a hit with a short sword would cause 6 + 1d6 + modifiers instead of 2d6 + modifiers. Fantasy Grounds will handle this automatically. - Improved Healing Potions. Using an action to consume a Potion of Healing grants its user the maximum number of recovered hit points. If using a bonus action to consume the healing potion, roll for results. It is a bonus action to drink a potion but still requires a regular action to administer one to someone else. - Flanking. When a creature and at least one of its allies are adjacent to an enemy and positioned on opposite sides or corners of the enemy's space, they flank that enemy. Attack rolls made by flankers against a flanked enemy have a +2 bonus. A creature does not grant flanking bonus if it is incapacitated, frightened, restrained, or grappled.

How BWatford creates a safe table
GM STYLE: My storytelling style blends old-school charm with modern adaptability, tailored to the audience. I prioritize the spirit of the rules (RAI) over the letter of the rules (RAW) and excel at open-world storylines that allow players to explore at their own pace. I focus on character development through backstories and take the time to understand my players’ preferences to tailor my approach. Whether your group prefers action-packed adventures or deep roleplay and political intrigue, I can accommodate both styles. Thank you for considering my services. I look forward to embarking on an epic adventure with you!
