About the adventure
Hallaster Blackcloak sipped a glass of wine in his study far under Waterdeep. “Do you think he will go along with it?” He asked the mirror against the wall. “He’s not known for working well with others.” Acererak the Archlich looked back through the mirror from his lair in Chult. “Klauth hates Bahamut even more than Tiamat does. Once we get him to listen, he should feel inclined to our plan.” The Mad Mage wiped some wine from his mouth. “He’ll kill many messengers before he comes around to listen.” “Quite likely,” the lich agreed. “Once we are successful, both Klauth and Tiamat will be in our debt, and we can rewrite the balance of power to us and away from those who call themselves, heroes,” saying the last word with contempt. Hallaster smiled. “That’s a world I’d like to live in.” “Then let’s get to work,” Acererak replied as their images faded from their respective mirrors. Forge your path to heroic greatness in Scribes of Fate, a 5e campaign using the new Heroes of Faerun and Adventures in Faerun sourcebooks. The heroes of the campaign are members of one of Faerun’s factions and have been Chosen by one of Toril’s gods or goddesses, both providing in game benefits as you gain renown for your cause. Behind the quests and glory, a powerful dark conspiracy begins to unfold. Can you discover it in time to stop the rewriting of the world? Will you be your own Scribes of Fate?

About me
I enjoy the collaborative effort that comes with hosting games. I like seeing how different groups react to and handle the scenarios that I prepare for them. The entire endeavor, from prep to delivery, is a source of fulfillment. I build the scaffolding, but the Players shape the sculpture of the story.

Homebrew rules
Heroic Inspiration awarded to everyone when: -Heroes do something heroic. -Heroes get 2 Crit20s in the same scene/battle. -A Player reminds me of something to their detriment. For example, "That creature should have attacked me at advantage because I attacked recklessly." Crits: -Crit20s and Crit1s result in auto pass and auto fail on Skill checks, no matter the ending result. -Crit20 on a Save that does half damage on a pass results in no damage. -Crit1 on a Save that does damage results in double damage.

How Charles creates a safe table
I maintain an open door policy for Players to reach out and address any concerns. My goal is that everyone at the table enjoys the time spent there, so I will listen if someone is not. If something in the story is making someone uncomfortable, I want to know so I can make appropriate adjustments. I will not accept rudeness, disrespect, nor aggression towards other Players. Also, this is a collaborative game where everyone gets a voice. No one Player should assume they are the group leader or team captain. Players may nominate others to "take the lead" in certain scenarios, but no one is in charge of anyone else.
