About the adventure
Enter Mythannor: A land of forgotten legacies, shattered empires, and rising powers. A Realm at a Crossroads The world of Mythannor is ancient, its lands steeped in the ruins of forgotten kingdoms, the scars of elven dominion, and the ambitions of those who would shape its future. The old world of elven rule is gone, but its remnants linger—in whispered treaties, lost magic, and festering resentments. Humanity has claimed its age, but its rule is not secure. Shadows creep from the north, where the undead legions of the Lich Queen still haunt the forests of Kingswood. In the south, halfling warbands steeped in dark necromancy stir once more. Against this backdrop, you are not just adventurers, you are the ones who will shape the future. What Kind of Stories Await? 🔹 Intrigue & Politics: Navigate the treacherous alliances between human nations, elven diplomats, dwarven guilds, and orcish clans. Who can you trust? What deals will you strike? 🔹 Ancient Secrets & Lost Magic: Ruins of the old world still hold artifacts of power, but at what cost? Elven citadels, dwarven vaults, and shattered temples hold the echoes of fallen gods and long-forgotten pacts. 🔹 Survival on the Frontier: The world is not safe. Kingswood’s undead stir, mercenary guilds scheme, and distant dragonborn watch from their hidden towers. Can you carve a future in this dangerous land? 🔹 Moral Dilemmas & Consequences: Mythannor is not a world of simple heroes and villains. The Furyans claim righteousness, but are they saviors or zealots? The elves of Thornewood offer aid, but at what price? Even the orcs, once enemies, now shape the world alongside humankind. What will you stand for? For Players Who Love... ✅ Deep lore that rewards exploration and discovery. ✅ High-stakes adventure where nations rise and fall. ✅ Political intrigue with spies, betrayals, and shifting allegiances. ✅ Dark fantasy elements, the undead are not just enemies, but a force of history. ✅ A living world where your choices matter, and your legacy endures. Mythannor Awaits. Will You Shape Its Future—Or Be Forgotten By History?

About me
Welcome! I've been running games for over 40 years, and I've published material in the game industry before. If you decide to play with me, you'll discover a fun-forward game without having to drop the fun in favor of encumbrance. I tend to lean towards rules-as-written, but that's so we all start with the same rules. I will provide you with an experience that puts your character up front, with tie-ins to backstories and developing moments in the story that involve you directly. If you're looking for old-school style play with all the flavor of new editions and play styles, then I'm the DM for you.

Creating your character
Character creation will happen at session 0. We will utilize a common rolled stat line, average HPs, and level 1.
The party currently consists of a Ranger, a Sorcerer, a Rogue, and a Warlock. There is a campaign guide with homebrew backgrounds and subclasses to peruse as well. They are gearing up to take on the powerful undead of Kingswood after defeating the Hierophant of Canallus and saving the world. Join them today!
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players should bring a positive attitude and be prepared to play at the start time. A little bit of time will be devoted to bookkeeping and socializing at the beginning and end of the game.
What Uncle DM brings to the table
I will bring the core rules and a full D&D Beyond Library, over 40 years of DMing experience, and a complete campaign setting ready for adventure. Many times, we will use battle maps for combat and there will be digital assets to aid play.

Safety
How Uncle DM creates a safe table
There is way too many potential content warnings to list them all. Know that one of the main themes of the game is the war and this will factor into just about every story we tell over the course of the campaign. If there are any hard limit items, please message them to me and I will do my utmost to avoid those things, or to give you an appropriate content warning if they cannot be avoided for story reasons.
