About the adventure
Alright adventurer! Get ready to dive into Roshar, a world unlike any other. Right after the assassination of King Gavilar. The Shattered Plains are a chaotic mess, boiling with Alethi vengeance and Parshendi desperation. This isn't just a war; it's where ancient powers are stirring, waiting to be rediscovered. In Shards of Honor, you'll jump in as a new face, thrown into the heart of this epic conflict. You'll face high-stakes roleplay and intense combat, where every choice you make truly matters. Will you be a Knight Radiant, beginning to harness incredible powers like manipulating gravity or light? Or perhaps a brave human soldier, a cunning Parshendi warrior, or even a Shardbearer, wielding legendary armor and weapons? This campaign is for everyone! If you're a seasoned fan of Brandon Sanderson's Stormlight Archive and want to deep-dive into the lore, you're in for a treat. And if you're new to Roshar but love epic fantasy, grand battles, and discovering amazing abilities, you'll find plenty to love here too. Expect heroic moments, tough choices, and the chance to go from humble beginnings to a true legend in the eye of the storm. Ready to write your own chapter in Roshar's history?

About me
My passion for Dungeons & Dragons began years ago, and it’s grown into an enduring love for the game. I’ve played and mastered countless campaigns, from Westmarches-style to my own homebrewed adventures. One thing I’ve learned is that a balanced mix of role-playing and combat is essential. I believe both can coexist seamlessly. I design and run combat encounters where role-playing is as impactful as optimization, and I ensure monsters react dynamically to player actions. For instance, imagine casting Haste on the big bad evil guy and pretending to join their dark side, only to drop concentration and watch as your party dismantles the foe in its lethargic state. My dedication to D&D goes beyond the table. Even at work, I find myself thinking of statblocks and devising scenarios like a Molten Magma Roper paired with a Druid of the Old Ways summoning walls of fire. I consider the terrain, stakes, and whether beloved NPCs might betray the party. I anticipate how players might use tools like a Ring of Fire Resistance they acquired sessions ago. Ultimately, my goal is to connect with diverse people and facilitate storytelling. I strive to ensure players have fun and collaborate to create compelling narratives with fascinating characters.

How ZeroCool creates a safe table
Safety & Inclusivity Your comfort at the table is our top priority. The Stormlight Archive lore is amazing, but it can sometimes touch on complex or sensitive themes. We're totally committed to making sure everyone has a safe and fun time exploring Roshar. Here's how we'll do it: Breaks: We'll take regular breaks. Need to step away for a bit? No problem! Aftercare: After each game, we'll do a quick check-in to see how everyone's feeling and if anything needs addressing. Session Zero: Before we even start playing, we'll talk through boundaries and comfort levels so everyone's on the same page. Safety Tools: We'll use safety cards (like X-Card, N-Card, and Pause) during the game. These are super easy ways to flag something instantly if you're uncomfortable, and we'll adjust right away.
