About the adventure

Join up now! Individuals from all over the Borderlands are joining up to fight for the future. They're doing their part, are you? You're doing your part! You are members of the Borderlands Defense Force - infantry squads deployed to reclaim the lands from the insects and to eradicate the invaders. Your service has guaranteed a guild sponsorship. *This campaign will be weekly but skipping the 3rd Tuesdays of the month. Your team will matter, and I want to incorporate Bonds/Relationships and backstory questions inspired by Masks: A New Generation for characters. I am using the Weird Wizard setting and lore for inspiration, with my own flavor, creations, and outside inspirations.*

About me

Yo, what's up!? My name's Maly. I'm just a goblin dude who loves TTRPGs and collaborative storytelling! I have been deep into the hobby for over a decade, and I have experienced multiple different systems along the way. My current favorites are the Shadow series - Shadow of the Demon Lord/Weird Wizard, but I enjoy learning/playing/running systems of all kinds. The past 3 years I have run online, and I am familiar and proficient with Discord, Roll20, Fantasy Grounds, and Syrinscape.

Character creation

Creating your character

We will create characters during session 0. Core Book and Weird Ancestries are allowed. Any other supplements may be available upon request. I am taking inspiration from the Masks: A New Generation and adding a focus to the team and your relationships within. I will also be taking the backstory questions from there and tailor them to this campaign. We will discuss further during session 0.

What to expect

Preparing for the session

We will be using Discord for voice and to keep records. We will be using Roll20 for the character sheets, maps, and tokens. You will need a decent microphone and headphones.

What MalyNym brings to the table

Thanks to Ruby the Lazy Goblin, I will have incredible Hero Forge models for the PC's and NPC's. I will provide a fitting soundtrack using music and sfx from Syrinscape. We will have quality maps/battlemaps as well.

Homebrew rules

To be able to drink potions as a reaction. Any others we can discuss as they come up on a case-by-case situation. Leaning toward rulings that favor the player. As mentioned before I will be porting some inspiration from Mask: A New Generation - For the backstory, relationships, and team building aspects. I am also taking the setting of Shadow of the Weird Wizard and inspiration from it to craft my own characters and lore.
