The Delian Tomb

Creating your character

This is a campaign to establish heroes' identities and relationships within a dangerous land. Creating a Draw Steel character is supposed to be fun! You can use a variety of resources I have available on my Discord server to create your Hero. This can be done on your own with some direction, or it can be done together alongside other players, or one-on-one with me in a voice chat call.

Preparing for the session

What You Should Bring: Either a pregen character that I'll provide, a character you create using my available resources, or a character you created with help from both me and your fellow players! Bring your unique character to life. Think about their goals, motivations, background and how they might be affected by the moral and political struggles of the Ashenvale Valley. A Willingness to Roleplay This campaign focuses heavily on character development, so come prepared to interact with NPCs, make decisions, and get into your character’s mindset. Your roleplaying will shape the direction of the campaign. A Love of Exploration and Discovery There are secrets to uncover, hidden dungeons to explore, and ancient powers to confront. Be prepared to get curious, solve mysteries, and immerse yourself in the unknown. Teamwork and Strategy This game will require you to work with your fellow adventurers. There will be moments of combat, diplomacy, and challenges where your teamwork will be key to success. Keep in mind that strategic planning is just as important as roleplaying. Open-mindedness and Adaptability The world of Ashenvale is unpredictable, and things may not always go as planned. Be ready to adapt and embrace the unexpected, especially with the evolving, complex storylines and the chaotic world you’ll be navigating. A Positive Attitude Whether we’re celebrating victories or facing tough challenges, bring a positive and collaborative mindset. This is a shared experience, and I want everyone to enjoy the journey, no matter where it leads.

What DM Greg V brings to the table

What I’ll Bring: TL;DR: Broadcast quality audio microphone and crystal clear camera. An easy going attitude and a real appreciation for both humor and drama. I like a game session with a little bit of everything: combat, role play, and plot! A Rich Story and World I’ll provide a detailed, dynamic world filled with moral choices, ancient mysteries, and the ever-looming threat of madness. You’ll explore a land teetering on the edge of chaos, facing both political intrigue and eldritch horrors. Immersive Roleplaying Expect a game where your decisions matter, whether you're navigating delicate alliances between rival baronies or uncovering dark secrets beneath the surface. The world will feel alive with complex NPCs, dangerous factions, and unexpected twists. Engaging Encounters and Puzzles Prepare for a mix of tactical combat, environmental challenges, and puzzle-solving. Whether it’s navigating the sewers beneath a castle or facing off against twisted cultists, the game will offer a variety of challenges for your characters to overcome. Themes of Madness and Corruption Expect elements of psychological horror and dark magic. As you explore the valley, you'll come across mind-bending encounters and the slow, insidious corruption of powerful forces. A Customizable Experience I’ll tailor encounters and narratives to your characters' backgrounds and choices, ensuring every player has moments to shine and their decisions impact the story. A Friendly, Collaborative Environment Whether you're new to D&D or a seasoned player, I aim to create a welcoming environment where everyone feels comfortable, and everyone’s input matters. We’ll work together to shape the adventure as it unfolds. Immersive Online Tools To enhance your experience, we’ll use Discord for voice communication and discussions, ensuring a seamless connection. Ambient music from Kenku FM will be playing in the background, setting the perfect tone for our sessions, from tense moments to eerie encounters. Additionally, we'll use Owlbear Rodeo to manage the game board with custom tokens, giving you an interactive and visual experience as we bring the world to life.

How DM Greg V creates a safe table

This campaign will begin with a discussion of our non-negotiables (also found in my DM Profile). Additionally, the discussion will include any important items that players want avoided in this brief campaign. The use of breaks will be used, not just as practical, "hey it's time for a quick break!" but also as way to reflect on where we've been, narratively, and to ensure players are comfortable. At the end of each game session, there will be a chance for another reflection on narrative themes and content. In general, I am always seeking player feedback to help make this the game you want to play.
