About the adventure

Follow the trail of an ancient power. Work with or against fellow adventurers. Explore distinctive locales of Exandria. This adventure begins in the turbulent badlands of a recovering nation and takes you to a glimmering oasis-city. From there, whispers will lead you to a sunken realm of gloom, corruption, and sorrow known as the Netherdeep. Above it all, the accursed red moon above watches, twisting the fates of those who have the power to shape the course of history. "The greed of mortals has awakened a powerful entity long thought destroyed. For eons, this mighty champion of the gods has been imprisoned in the darkest depths of Exandria. His name has been forgotten, as have his heroic deeds. Languishing in despair, he calls out for new heroes to save him." A seven chapter adventure within Critical Role’s world of Exandria, taking you from levels 3-12. Will you grasp the reins of destiny and chart a new course, or will the sinister whispers of the past claim you too? PLEASE NOTE: My community is committed to diversity, equality, and inclusion. If you support transphobia, homophobia, racism, misogyny, ableism, or any other form of bigotry or fascism, you probably won’t be comfortable at my table. You’ll need to look for another game.

Safety

How shevek1312 creates a safe table

💅 Table Culture 💅 The community we've cultivated over the past several years has found themselves nestled in with fiction-forward, collaborative, RAWish style games. A risky choice with a friend for the things there aren't always rules for always feels like it leads to unexpected greatness. We often find ourselves using the good bones of a module while still having space to flex into unique stories. I'm just here to play as the world while you all connect the dots of your stories. Content + Safety Utilizing safety tools helps cultivate a positive and inclusive gaming space. Helping our partymates be awesome dovetails nicely here. We will utilize a checklist based on the TTRPG Safety Toolkit, the X, N, O cards built into Foundry's interface, open door policy, and stars + wishes. Non-featured content: harm to children or domestic creatures, explicit sexuality, sexual assault, systemic racism, homophobia, or transphobia. Allegories of racial prejudice + bioessentialism have been cut from official settings. ✋Zero tolerance policy for harassment or discrimination based on race, creed, color, gender, sexual orientation, or experience level. Please don't attend sessions under the influence of any substance to a noticeable degree. GM reserves the right to remove you from session if this becomes the case. GM reserves the right to remove a player immediately if violating any of these ground rules. 📏I run primarily Rules as Written (RAW), but I'm happy to ask 'what serves the story in this moment?'
