About the adventure
The Wayward Is a place of dreams, a dreamscape if you will. Anything could be a reality in this place. There are dimensions to explore of different dream deities but this one in particular that this game is to be played in will be in a smaller dimension of a trickster horror deity. The name of this deity is unknown, but usually called “The One Behind the Play”. The whole world is dark and pretty brutal, there is not much to gain and there is only one village where in the day it is a normal village like the ones you would find on Pia. During the night, however, the mood changes to the darker and the darker being walks the streets. Such as twilight elves and eldritch cambions. During the day, it is mostly humans that are outside, and the village is ruled by Solar elves. You wake up in a strange village and have to learn what is going on and figure out the mystery. There are multiple endings to this and lots of small questlines to explore and find out things about!

About me
Hello, I have a decade worth of almost weekly DnD5e experience where I begun as a player and then for 7 years GM almost every week and a lot of times twice a week. I have been doing a lot of GMing for a game called Utopia TTRPG (Which don't exist here yet, I would love to run it) and I have hosted more then 50 sessions in a westmarch since December (more outside of it) that I am also a part of running and developing lore for both the ttrpg and the westmarch.
View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
We use the Utopia TTRPG system which you can find a free copy under https://myramyth.com/utopia/. Just go to downloads and read through the book if you are new. Do remember that there is an errata in the bottom of it together with custom species. Once you sign up for the campaign your going to get a invite to a server where there is a step by step character creation guide and you can ask me questions about it. There will also be a session 0 to get to know eachoter characters and how everyone wants to play before asking some final questions and running a test combat unless we jump straight in.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
I will be giving out a Discord server or use Startplayings server but in addition use Owlbear rodeo which is a no login required virtual table top that works for phones.
What The Elf Mage brings to the table
I will bring ambient music, special voices for NPCs. I play by the rule of cool but like to follow the system as much as we can while having fun. I want to encourage creativity and problem solving, deep roleplay when possible and challenging combat. Sometimes tactics needed and sometimes you just get a simple encounter!

How The Elf Mage creates a safe table
While this has a lot of warning tags the game itself is mild and easy to step away from a lot of details when someone is uncomfortable. It contains a lot of different scenes and actions that contain one or two of the warnings. I do not tolerate bigotry, non consensual pvp or romantic actions. I do not allow sexual stuff at my tables beyond fun innuendos. I will reserve the right to time someone out if they are activly making my players feel bad on purpose and or kick them from the campaign if it gets to much. When it comes to the sessions I will check in with my players on how they feel, I keep a add on that they can send and anonymous warning if there is something crossing the line. Then also ask them to use 2 stars and a wish system after the session is done. I make sure to ask if a player is alright or several players are good if there is something that happens either in rp or above table.
