About the adventure
Five years into an armistice that ended a decade of warfare, the threat of renewed conflict looms over the continent of Althas. Five nations in a delicate web of alliances and rivalries seek to exploit the opportunities granted by this period of rapid magical, political, and social change. All five nations deploy agents to strengthen alliances, sabotage foes, and tip the balance of power in their favor. In a Five Banners Burning campaign, you’ll play heroes caught up in the twisting and ever-escalating conflict between nations, contending with competing loyalties, generational grudges, and opportunistic villains.

About me
Seasoned Dungeon Master with over four years of experience crafting intricate worlds, thrilling adventures, and unforgettable moments in the realm of Dungeons & Dragons 5e and Daggerheart. With a passion for storytelling and a deep understanding of the rules, I have guided countless adventurers through perilous quests, moral dilemmas, and epic battles. Whether in a homebrew campaign filled with rich lore or an officially published adventure, together with my players I bring creativity, spontaneity, and an unwavering commitment to mutual enjoyment. My ability to improvise, adapt, and create immersive worlds ensures that every session is unique and full of surprises. As a Dungeon Master, I am not just the narrator of the story but the heartbeat of the campaign, weaving together the characters' choices, the world's reactions, and the stakes of every encounter. Years of experience at the table have made me a master of balancing challenge and fun, ensuring that both veteran players and newcomers alike leave each session craving more.

Creating your character
Players will have an opportunity to create characters during session 0 or in their own free time (before the first live session) if they wish to do so. Characters can be done in Demiplane or any other means like paper sheet, etc. Premade characters can be arranged. https://app.demiplane.com/home
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players will need a good, working mic as well as a discord and a roll 20 account! A basic understanding of the rules and how your character will work is much appreciated. A webcam is not mandatory, however it is highly recommended as I believe this helps with roleplay tremendously! If players wish to have physical dice or a printout of their character sheet, then they may do so.

How DM Jericho creates a safe table
These rules are a guideline and cannot cover every incident that might come up in the server. Warnings and time-outs can be given. If asked to do something, or stop doing something, please follow through. DM gets the final say in decisions about warnings, time-outs, strikes, or removal from the game. Harassment, discrimination, spamming, and trolling are not welcome here. This includes, but is not limited to, disparaging remarks or aggressions relating to race, ethnicity, color, religion, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, genetic characteristic, or disability. Treat everyone with respect. If it wouldn’t fly in a professional environment, it won’t fly here. We’re all here to celebrate our love of tabletops. If you don’t think someone is being respectful, please contact DM rather than escalating the conflict.
