About the adventure
The Drylands were a place that put the old stories aside. While superstitious miners have long said that the crystals growing wild in this desert are made from the very life-essence of Forgotten Gods, the folk around here had real work to do, and actual deities were left for campfire stories. That is, until a massive colossus answered the call of something ancient and apocalyptic, rising from the earth and devastating the lands. The bold prospectors, tired laborers, and born-again worshippers in the dusty town of Wyllin’s Gulch were thrown from their routine of industry and exploitation, forced to raise scattered armies and watch them die to the behemoth’s strength. And this is only the first of many titanic beasts poised to terrorize the land. In a Colossus of the Drylands campaign, you’ll play a heroic posse of mavericks who must save their home from a legion of colossi and a primordial god seeking vengeance.

About me
"You look at all those people down there and realize that all the dreams that are being chased, that true spirit of this place is to hustle in the muck and the grime and grind away to make something miraculous happen. People make it happen for themselves." Hello, My Name is Dan James. I'm 28 years old and I've been GMing for almost 8 years now I've GMed a lot of D&D 5th edition and Monster of The Week. I have been expanding into a lot more TTRPGS to play. I have a background in Film, Theatre, and Storytelling overall and have a deep fondness for Expansive and Rich Table Top Role-Playing Adventures. I have strong attention to over-arching narratives and enjoy creating a space for players to collaboratively engage in the world they explore in. Representation is extremely important to me so I aim to create an inclusive world and adventures for players to explore. I hope to see you at the Table, ready for your next big adventure.

What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players should have a working webcam and microphone for video chat via Discord. Please also have a character portrait ready so it can be turned into a token. Take some time to familiarize yourself with Roll20; if you don’t have an account, you can create one for free. Players should be comfortable with Daggerheart and open to a homebrew setting and mechanics. You’re welcome to use either digital dice or physical ones—I'll be using the honor system for both. I also have a Demiplane Access so no need to Buy Daggertheart Please send me your character sheet in advance. If you have any questions or want to talk through your character before the session, I’d be happy to chat!
