About the adventure
๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐ฑรก๐แถ Something ancient is stirring, older than the republic, older than the wodes, older even than the dragons who shaped the continents. The world is shifting, and everyone can feel it in their bones. Is this a new dawnโฆ or the spark that burns everything down? ๐ญ ๐ฎ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ฌ๐๐๐ Each player will pick one Arc, shaping our campaign in the process. More details after joining :) ๐ป๐๐ ๐ถ๐๐-๐ญ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ช๐๐๐๐ - ๐จ๐๐ ๐ A battle scarred chief leads long dormant orc-forged in raids along the borderlands.

Countless times has Vorjax summoned armies of undead, toppled nations, and ended golden ages. Countless times has Vorjax been defeated. ๐ป๐๐ ๐ฎ๐๐๐๐ - ๐จ๐๐ ๐ The Guild is many things, and its members include politicians, merchants, artisans, scientists, historians, and various โphilanthropistsโ.

Three are dead, and Vรถrรถs the star-god is in an infinite slumber. There are also 18 living gods, ancient draconic beings, who dwell amoung the mortals.

About me
Hello, friend. Iโm Jared, an Army vet, a nomad, and, of course, an RPG enthusiast. Iโve been a GM for over eight years, running several long-term campaigns and countless one-shots across a wide range of systems. Iโm at my best when Iโm helping players tell a story together โ collaborative storytelling is the heart of my style. I focus on building community, making tables welcoming, and giving people a few hours to step away from the real world and immerse themselves in something fun, meaningful, and memorable. I enjoy many systems, but I gravitate toward rules-light, fast-flowing games that keep the spotlight on narrative choices, character relationships, and shared creativity. Whether itโs a long campaign or a quick one-shot, my goal is always the same: create a friendly space where players feel supported, engaged, and excited to shape the adventure together.
