About the adventure
The Kingdom of Valkrye. A shining bastion of advancement and political power in the nation of Astra. With their superior firepower and arcane technology, they stand as a symbol of power and knowledge on the continent of Meracani. But with power comes enemies. And while Valkrye is the biggest kid on the block, their most useful weapon is the one that goes unseen. The Nocturne Knights, an elite division of the Royal Knights, works behind the scenes to keep Valkrye safe, and to keep their enemies one step behind. Every year, the Nocturne only accepts a handful of recruits, and this year that is you. As members of this elite unit you will be tested to your limits. Expected to perform covert operations behind enemy lines and in allied countries, you will need to rely on your wit and daring to complete the orders of your King. Will you save the country from threats from without, or become the biggest threat from within? Luminous Nocturne is a modern high fantasy setting that combines High Fantasy elements with modern conventions such as Arcane powered vehicles and equipment as well as cosmetic appearances.

About me
Hello, my name is Nick and I have been a writer and TTRPG Game Master for close to 10 years now. I love crafting serious and inventive roleplay experiences that blend humor, tragedy, and ingenuity to help players get the most out of both their character and overall experience at the game table. I am also a High School English, History, and Drama teacher.

Creating your character
Any class/race combo is fine though a few homebrew cosmetic and equipment rules will apply. I will work with people to create a backstory that is lore relevant.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Discord, D&D Beyond and D&D Beyond Maps will be used, however if you prefer to use other character creation software that is also acceptable.
What Nick brings to the table
I like to consider what's best in the moment for the story, and if that's RaW or RoC then that's the way it is. I try to do character voices for the majority of the NPCs and the nature of this campaign is mostly interactions between humanoids and the characters at the table. Combat isn't tactical, at least for the first few sessions so characters can get a feel for their classes and abilities, although down the line things will get progressively harder. Think of it like the scaling in Kingdom Hearts.
Homebrew rules
I allow everyone to take max hp per level up and allow for one free feat at character creation.

How Nick creates a safe table
In session 0, I tend to go over the basic rules for the table, establish the lines and veils, and discuss the subject matter that will appear in the sessions. In terms of X,N, and O's whatever makes players most comfortable, whether that be messaged, or physical.
