About the adventure
Having escaped the Monkey King's soldiers, the party arrives at a village set to flame—Sa Ry Ah's home, now reduced to ash. But the carnage is not the soldiers’ doing. A Chyzen Acolyte and his two Initiates have razed the settlement in search of Arjun. Survivors whisper of strange incantations and ghostly steel. The trail of destruction leads up the mountain—toward the wreck of the Shatterstar, where fate, fire, and vengeance now converge.

About me
I've been a game master since 1984. I have run D&D, Space Master, Shadowrun, Call of Cthulhu, and Paranoia. I wrote and published my own game system (Paradox RPG) in 1996. I write my own adventures, as well as adopt and modify existing adventures. No two of my games are ever the same. I do this for a hobby. I do this for the love of the game. I would love for you to join me.

Creating your character
I will have all the resources and information necessary to create your character listed in my discord server. We will create the characters in D&D Beyond and import them into Foundry. I will launch Foundry VTT 30 minutes prior to game start and give a quick tutorial on how to use Foundry prior to starting time.

Participants should have the following items: 1. Microphone (a laptop mic suffices in a pinch). 2. Discord account (it's free—utilized for game planning and voice/video chat during the session). 3.

How Faight creates a safe table
This is a fantasy adventure, so the bad guys will do bad guy things. Your characters will be confronted with unsettling situations and empowered to overcome them. There will be no gratuitous engagement in these topics, but they will arise. I am happy to take breaks and use tools like "Fade to Black" to reduce any discomfort.
