About the adventure

🪽Among the Wax and Wildfire🪽FF, Skyrim, and AoT-inspired Game! Igmund Ignatius rallies his bannermen and flees to the unsettled north, having lost faith in their country's ability to prevail in their ongoing war. His legions regain respect fighting against famine and the elements, while the mountains loom over them. They establish markers of their progress, reminders of those that did not have the will to continue further. Eventually those that push furthest alongside their new king develop a zeal toward his Defiance against the cruel north. However, as the eternal winter begins to recede, the land seems to respond in kind, the collective will of Igmund's soldiers stirring slate-scaled drakes who dwelled dormant within the mountains' blizzards. The towers of man blaze like beacons—candles in the night—standing strong against the insurmountable odds. But Igmund's precious candles begin to weep their wax. Trust begins to simmer. Can winter steel fend off molten fang and talon? What secrets are being kept to keep up the facade that man stands a chance? Just what have they Defied? "Wax & Wildfire" is a long-term campaign set in an overarching homebrew world. This setting in particular is inspired by the high-fantasy storytelling of Dragonlance, blended with the grittier low magic of House of the Dragon. Maybe you yourself are a member of the Defiance, or a settler wanting to make a life in this newly reclaimed country. Perhaps you are intrigued by the prospect of Thaumaturgy and Dragonfire and the possibilities the mountain secrets hold. The campaign will have a large focus on overland travel, minor politics, and large scale aerial combat!

About me

Hello there! I'm Fitz (they/he), and I have been a GM for about 10 years—4 of those professionally. I run weekly paid games, high concept one-shots, and have built up quite the tight-knit community over at what we like to call "Also Dragons". Most of the campaigns I run take place in an overarching homebrew setting, spanning different genres, corners of the world, and differing types of magic and technology. Together they paint a larger picture, each player adding a brushstroke.

Character creation

Creating your character

Character creation will occur in call, to allow for discussion of potential backstory connections and to allow consistency with the rest of the party. Nothing worse than a player making a character they are passionate about only to find that it's not a good fit for the setting or the party! There are some other details around equipment and house rules that will be elaborated on in Session Zero and may inform some player choices!

What to expect

Preparing for the session

Stable, reliable internet connection and audio quality required. Video preferred but totally optional. We will be using D&DBeyond for character sheets, and Discord for voice, video, campaign tracking, and battlemaps.

What Fitz♦️🍏Also Dragons brings to the table

I have access to all official content on D&DBeyond as well as animated battle maps which we will be using via a screensharing VTT method. I prefer this approach as I feel it best emulates an at-the-table feel and reduces the amount of tabs and things for people to keep track of!

Safety

How Fitz♦️🍏Also Dragons creates a safe table

Session Zero allows the players to take the floor, ask questions about the setting, make requests for content they would (or would not) like to see. We will get you oriented with the Also Dragons server, discuss house rules and general community dynamic, and go through content-consent checklists to gauge levels of comfortability with subject matter that may (but will likely not) arise.
