About the adventure
In this campaign you will take on the role of a character living in the port town of Oakheart a decade after a cataclysmic event that changed everything and sent shockwaves through the world. Oakheart is cut off and isolated with internal struggles and external threats. Your character will have to rise up and become a hero if Oakheart is going to go on surviving. ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ Oakheart is maybe the only town left in Kishoa. At least as far as Oakheart is concerned, it is. Ten years ago, a devastating miasma spread across the land, engulfing everything in a thick purple fog. Inhaling it is destructive to the body, and often just a minute of exposure is enough to outright kill. Somehow the humble town of Oakheart was spared. The miasma spread around and even over the city. So while the dense haze did cloak Oakheart in darkness, blotting out the sun, the poison gas itself does not enter the city. It merely looms over and around the perimeter, trapping the citizens within.

About me
First and foremost, my table is a place of kindness and inclusion. There is absolutely no room for bigotry of any kind at my table. Zero tolerance. I am a professional board game designer with a love for TTRPGs. I use my experience in board game design to craft unique experiences, both in combat design, but also in adventure design itself. Aside from d&d, I play lots of board games, do illustrations, and write. I've recently been getting into illustrating battlemaps, so my games will be featuring lots of hand drawn maps.

Creating your character
We will do character creation in session 0. Starting level 3 Point Buy Stats Bonus feat! Most published material is fine, but certain sourcebooks need approval. (Ravnica, Tal'dore, Aquistions)
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players should have discord installed and have a mic (cameras optional) They should have a roll20 account. If they want to use my d&d beyond content then they'd need an account there too.
What Ben Goldman brings to the table
I bring an exciting hand written adventure with memorable NPCs, handmade maps, and soundtrack. I provide D&D Beyond content for the campaign. As a GM I like to do things by the book for the most part, but am willing to stretch the text of spells or abilities in narratively suitable moments.
