About the adventure
Step into a world where gods have died, shards of power shape reality, and the stars themselves whisper secrets. Dawnbound: The Journey Unending is a long-form, character-driven campaign set in the sprawling universe of the Cosmere. Beginning with the “First Step” adventure and unfolding into the “Stonewalker” arc, this campaign invites players to explore ancient mysteries, forge bonds, and confront the forces that ripple beneath the surface of creation. This game is perfect for players who love immersive storytelling, emotional character arcs, and the thrill of uncovering lore. Whether you’re a longtime fan of the Cosmere or brand new to its wonders, you’ll find a place here. The campaign blends exploration, intrigue, and high-stakes decision-making, with a focus on collaborative roleplay and meaningful consequences. Expect shifting alliances, moral ambiguity, and moments where your choices echo across the realm. Gameplay will balance tactical encounters with rich narrative scenes, allowing space for both cinematic action and quiet introspection. You’ll travel, uncover ancient truths, and shape the fate of civilizations—sometimes with a whisper, sometimes with a warcry. If you crave a campaign where your character’s journey matters, where the setting evolves with your actions, and where every step forward feels like a leap into the unknown, then Dawnbound is calling.

I thrive on guiding players from their humble origins to become legendary figures, ensuring every victory and every setback feels earned and meaningful.

Creating your character
Characters will start at level 0 and will essentially be made in game. The "First Step" adventure has players make their character while playing in game. Its awesome.
Upon joining game, players will see a Discord link under prep materials. Once joining Discord server, myself or one of my mods will walk you to through getting added to the game chat for the game you have joined. VTT access and character creation will be done as a group in session 0, so that the party can be built as a group and we can find fun ways to link characters. Players joining a game after session 0 will have 1-on-1 paid session 0 with me to catch you up on the story, the party, variant rules being used, and help making a character and find a good way for them to be brought into the story that you are happy about.

What Dylan brings to the table
VTT with player access at all times. I used a voice changer for more otherworldly voices, and I try my hand at character voices for the rest. I have catered music for every game, and players will be able to make requests of music for character moments. Players can expect tactical and immersive combat, as well as deep RP.
