About the adventure
Welcome to Strezan, a myth-touched realm where stories shape the world and long-slumbering powers stir beneath the waves. This West Marches-style campaign invites you to chart the newly-emerged Shattered Reach, a chain of ruins and islands reclaimed from the sea after a celestial fracture. From the frontier city of Veyrun’s Hold, adventurers set sail to uncover relics of the Dawnbroken Age, forge new legends, and awaken forces best left forgotten. Each session is a stand-alone expedition, perfect for drop-in/drop-out play. Map new coasts, battle the remnants of divine wars, and decide whether to claim or conceal what you find. Between sessions, discoveries and player actions shape the shared map, the alliances within Veyrun’s Hold, and the unfolding history of the Reach itself. Though flexible, a deeper mystery ties every voyage together. Storms whisper names no one remembers. Dreams ripple with the echoes of ancient gods. Each artifact returned to the Hold adds another verse to the growing saga of a world on the edge of remembering what it once was. If you crave high-fantasy exploration, mythic storytelling, and the sense that every expedition leaves a mark on a living world, this is your call to adventure.

Creating your character
I handle character creation in a way that works for you! If you feel like starting backstory with a friend I am available to jump in discord and get the backgrounds situated. If you would like to leave it until session 0 that also works for me. I am very open to having much of the creation done before session 0 so we can focus on tweaks and adjustments to help your character fit in seamlessly. While teamwork will be heavily valued; I do enjoy working with you to craft secrets in your backstory to have your character fully fleshed out and have a fully functioning character to bring to sessions with, Secrets and all!
What to expect
Preparing for the session
✅A Free fantasy grounds account ✅A headset/Mic to hear and talk ✅A Discord account ✅An open mind ready for fun and adventure!
What BarefootYeti brings to the table
I use an unlimited license on fantasy grounds along with discord for talking and music. I have custom battle maps, regular maps and lore and secrets with session reports on World anvil (free for users to sign up and interact). I also try and voice every NPC you come across and any that you interact with on a regular basis will have their own lore pages on world anvil. I only charge per session and in between sessions I do offer fact finding and investigating with NPCs through world anvil or discord for added fun and immersion! I have a commercial license with an AI art generator that I use for scenes and characters to keep the world ever expanding. I understand this is controversial with some people so please keep that in mind if you consider these campaigns. If you are a fan of rule of cool and home brew then this is the game for you. We will "loosely" use the rules of 5e so rules lawyers may not enjoy this campaign as much. Teamwork will be key to surviving this campaign. Please note; Combat is meant to be hard in any encounter in these campaigns! After the first 10 sessions I will send you a hand painted mini of your character with a physical copy of your character sheet and a mystery D20!
