About the adventure
Welcome to Aerthos, a Shard World shattered by the gods to float just at the edge of the Astral Sea. Where land is scarce, and true power is in the skies! A world where Magitech dreams are but a tinker shop away.. Embark on a high stakes, high flying adventure full of exploration, discovery and drama in the skies! This is a D&D 5th Edition (2014) homebrew world with a rich and tragic history, and various regions to delve into. Will you fight a corrupt government? Will you stand against the morally grey Magitech Guild? Will you find yourself the Admiral of a great Sky Fleet? The choice is eternally yours. Aerthos awaits, will you answer its call?

About me
Welcome to the Game! I'm Joe, a highly experienced GM who has been involved in TTRPG campaigns for over three decades. For me, the ultimate goal is simple: to create a good story together. What to Expect at My Table: *Deep Immersion: Get ready to be pulled in! I use unique voices and accents for every NPC, professional music, and evocative sound effects to make every scene feel real. *A Living, Breathing World: My favorite part of GMing is staying nimble. I can pivot on a dime and the world will bend and shift based on your choices. This is your story, and your actions matter. *Campaign Veteran: I have a proven track record, currently running two successful live campaigns that are over a year and a half long. Whether it's a deep dive into D&D or the dark intrigue of World of Darkness, you're joining a veteran GM who knows how to keep a long campaign thriving. *Quality VTT Experience: I use a great VTT platform and detailed visualization tools to ensure the combat and exploration are clear, tactical, and visually stunning. Don't see a system you love? Just ask! With access to hundreds of different TTRPG books, I'm happy to learn and run a new system quickly. Let's start building our epic story!

What DM Noctem brings to the table
I will bring an epic story, unforgettable NPC's, unique voices, ambient music/sound effects and the whole world built in Foundry VTT. As always, Rule of Cool is in full effect at my table, but all things in moderation. Be ready for combat both with feet planted, and high up in the sky!

How DM Noctem creates a safe table
In session 0 we will discuss all lines and veils that need to be brought up. We will find the correct Safety Tools for each game, that way they feel personalized and more comfortable to every table. Aftercare will be a short discussion about the game and how it made everyone feel, followed by Stars and Wishes to round every session out.
