About the adventure
Dark Star is a campaign about discovery, secrets, and the inevitable fate of the world of Elthral. Shrouded by a Dark Sun, this cursed world has adapted and moved on, the horrors of the first night may haunt the likes of dwarves and elves, but man has become accustomed to this world and hope to protect it. The past is a haze, there was the glory days, spoken by those who lived 200 years ago, they talk of old pleasures, such as the plants, and the warmth. The current age is known as the Dark Age, and at this point, it is not normally used due to how long it has gone on. Legends speak that a warrior Lantharia faced off against the evil lich Zaroman, but ultimately this story's ending has become more of speculation, as neither of these two have ever been seen again. The lands are now stuck with fear, war broke out for food early in this affliction. Now gossip of the region of Great Theo claiming war on the land of the gods. King Berg VII has gathered the strongest hero's in the land to discover strange activity happening within there own kingdom, Unknowing to them all that the hourglass of doom has just been set into motion.

About me
Hello, My name is Jacob and i am a huge dark fantasy and improv writer. My favorite systems are cyberpunk red and dnd 5e. I have been dm'ing for more then 9 years now, and I am excited to run more games in the future. Rn my main Campaign I am working on is Elthral, a fantasy world taking place in its own hb universe, where lesser gods exist in the material plane, and events have decreased the light of the sun, causing the events of the late 200 years to go dark, as regions lose themselves in hunger driven wars. Interested in joining, Im looking to host these games on request, so let me know and i can see what i can do. I run all my games online, with discord and roll 20

What Jacob brings to the table
I’ve been DMing for 8 years and I’m running a game right now. I’m good at real-sounding talk and making the world feel alive. It’s not like a movie—stuff just happens based on what players do, and it actually matters. I like balance, sure, but I care more about cool ideas and things making sense. Like, a bomb should just blow stuff up. If someone’s about to get executed or a boss is wide open, yeah, they’re gone—no roll needed. Improv’s my thing. I can make up voices, NPCs, or whole bits of lore on the spot. Players go off-script? I roll with it and keep it fun.
Homebrew rules
there are alot of hb rules, but you don't have to worry there all on the discord server.
