About the adventure
In a world where waters rose and didn't stop, civilization continued on boats. Whole empires were destroyed and rebuilt in the new world. Over centuries, the water began to recede and reveal new islands, where many of the old empires would try to expand and reestablish themselves. Pirates rule the waves, and fight against any of the old and new nations trying to form. Rumors have spread for years of an island of gold far beyond explored waters, but now a man has claimed to have seen it, promising to bring people there. New rumors have circulated of large sea monsters encroaching on known waters, sinking ships and bringing them to the sea floor. Strange storms wait on the edge, coming closer and closer to settled islands, always disappearing before reaching people. More rumors too of a large island with unknown dangers and impossible size have been whispered. The Empire of Kratae has sent multiple expeditions only to lose both ships and crew without a word back. A new continent, strange creatures in the seas, and more await those who travel beyond the known world. Treasures beyond their wildest dreams at the tips of their fingers, but at what cost?

About me
I have been GMing games for a few years now, starting about a year after I played DnD for the first time. I am familiar with DnD best, and Star Wars Edge of the Empire second best. I've been GMing DnD for almost 5 years now. I am also very anti AI, so this will be true in every game I run.

Creating your character
Character creation will happen during session 0, but a character idea made and approved before hand will make the process easier. Stats are rolled 4d6 dropped the lowest, with the option to take your lowest score and reroll but the new result MUST be taken. Characters can be created on D&D Beyond(preferred), or other websites as approved by me. I'm open to most things for content, they just need to be run by me, I'll figure out lore to make it work in my world!
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Accounts on D&D Beyond, Discord, and Roll20 will be needed for games. A Discord Server will be created for the game so access to that will be necessary through an invite!
What Cris brings to the table
I do character voices/accents, Rule of Cool is almost always my go to. I prefer to have a fun experience over an intense experience, but those sessions will still happen. If the group would like it, music will also be provided!
Homebrew rules
Drinking a potion is a bonus action, critical hits do max damage PLUS what you roll, must roll OVER AC not just meets it beats it. These are my main homebrew rules I use, if others come up I will be very clear about them!

How Cris creates a safe table
For safety and comfortability I will be going over things in a Session 0, talking over the campaign and possible triggers. X, N, and O's will be digital, sent to me privately or in the chat. If at any point you feel you need to leave, you are welcome to. You don't have to explain why, I just ask that you tell me!
