About the adventure
In the frontier town of Sandpoint, peace is as fragile as glass. The town’s new cathedral stands as a symbol of hope until the skies darken, monsters strike, and ancient runes blaze to life. What begins as a local tragedy soon reveals the shadow of a forgotten empire, and the echo of a name the world was meant to forget. The heroes of Sandpoint will uncover fragments of a power once thought lost to history seven shards of an ancient tyrant’s soul, scattered across the land. Each shard whispers with temptation, offering strength, wealth, and forbidden magic. But every choice to wield such power brings the heroes closer to the same ruin that once shattered a god-king. The Shattered Lord is a campaign of mystery, danger, and moral consequence, blending sword and sorcery adventure with the creeping influence of ancient sin. Players will face choices that shape both their characters and the world around them. Will they become the saviors of the land, or heirs to its greatest curse? This game is for players who love epic stories, evolving mysteries, and character driven drama. Expect a mix of tactical combat, investigation, and personal storytelling. Where uncovering secrets can be as perilous as facing monsters, and victory may cost more than you think.

About me
20 years of gaming has led me to who I am today exploring alternate systems and telling stories for and of players to others to make unique and fun experiences. I hope to introduce you to these systems like Legend of the Five Rings and Exalted which I cut my teeth on long ago.

There is a discord and foundry link and both will be distributed closer to session 0.
What Joshua Posey brings to the table
I will provide some ambient music and I am very much a rule of cool GM who loves cinematic storytelling. The rules give us a framework but they aren't absolute in the face of creativity.

How Joshua Posey creates a safe table
Session 0 will consist of going over safety rules for all players. We will be working with a red light green light system for players to communicate with me about comfortability beyond the questions in session 0. We will also at the end of each session provide an opportunity for players to have a discussion with me about the session if the player wishes.
