About the adventure
Survive the Age of Desolation Centuries ago, a dying goddess shattered the world to save it. From the wreckage she forged five realms, each entrusted to a mighty dragon whose soul sustained a barrier against a multiversal plague of living crystal. For generations, those wards held. But they have faltered. The magic that once bound creation has begun to leak back into the land and its people. Dragons sicken with crystalline blight, storms carve horizons into glass and ash, and whispers return of the same threat that once slew the divine. In Arora, survival is sacred. Explore deserts that hum with lightning, jungles where gods rot in their temples, volcanic empires of iron and ruin, frozen wastes that remember the last sane dragon, and shattered archipelagos where civilization clings by calloused hands. The world doesn’t ask for heroes; it asks for survivors, explorers, scavengers, prophets, and fools willing to walk the edge of creation and decide whether Arora deserves saving. This campaign runs in D&D 5e using Age of Desolation’s exploration, survival, and crafting rules. Expect post-apocalyptic fantasy and mythic discovery, cinematic roleplay mixed with tactical danger, meaningful downtime, and consequences that reshape the map. Join the campaign, shape a broken world, bargain with dragons, and test what endures when everything else falls away.

About me
Heyo! I'm Bear! I have been playing D&D for roughly five years, starting off my time as a DM and occasionally as a player. As a DM I enjoy crafting large worlds and forming a story both my players and myself can be proud of. I run respectful games for anyone and everyone that passes by my table. While my main focus is D&D5E, I've been looking into dming a Dragon Age: Inquisition game and possibly a Dishonored game as well.

Creating your character
Using the system through arora, players will not pick races but rather 8 out of 80 traits, each trait can be taken twice for bonuses and others can be taken multiple times beyond twice. These will be the groundwork for your character.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players can prepare by having a good mic and headset so we can discuss without much issue. Players will be asked to have a forge account ready so we can work with each other to play the game!
What UndeadBear brings to the table
I will bring many fun and unique voices to bring creativity to the game itself and the world around. Using a series of books and a openness for creativity I allow players more freedom in creation of characters, backstories, and such! I try to keep my games hard, with strategic combat and thrilling moments! Some of my favorite parts are boss fights, making them hard and unique!
