About the adventure
Four centuries ago, a war shattered the world and snuffed out magic itself. Now, in an age of steam and steel, whispers rise of forgotten gods, broken nations, and power buried in the Wastelands. Magic is nearly dead. Steam powers the world now, not spells. But deep in the dust of a vanished Elven empire, ancient machines stir, and something long buried begins to awaken.

About me
American IT person living in Japan. Love creating homebrew campaigns tailored to my players and giving them an amazing story to experience!
View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
Players will create their characters through D&D Beyond's website and joining my campaign on the site. By doing so, the players will also gain access to my D&D content books. If the player needs any assistance in creating their character, I will be glad to help! If needed, I can schedule a free session dedicated to character creation. Each character should have their own backstory which will be used in the campaign, and character art. AI art is acceptable as not everyone is an artist or can afford to commission one. The starting level for everyone's character will be level 1, or higher depending on if a player is joining mid campaign.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Before starting the first session of the campaign, each player should do the following: - Join the discord - Create an account on Foundry Links will be provided for each upon registration.
What Dylan brings to the table
Besides utilizing the many great features in Foundry (ambience, music, etc.), you can expect to meet some fun and memorable characters along your journey! While I stick to the rules as mostly guidelines, I go by the Rule of Cool during our sessions. As a fun little bonus, there are hidden achievements in my campaigns for you to get and earn points!

How Dylan creates a safe table
If there is ever a topic that comes up during the session, players can easily send me a private message in Discord and the subject will be avoided. I always chat with my players after each session to ask what they liked, disliked, and what they are looking forward to do next time.
