Humblewood: A Fresh Adventure for New OR Experienced Players

About the adventure

The various folk who make up the world of Humble-wood are divided into two categories: the birdfolk (resembling crows, roosters, ows, etc) and the humblefolk (resembling foxes, racoons, hedgehogs, etc). While they resemble animals, the folk who inhabit the cities, towns, and villages of Humblewood are all humanoids. Together they share the wood and it's bountiful resources. You will play as one of these inhabitants of the Humblewood, an ancient and magical place that hums with an endless song, sung to the Great Rhythm of life and death. But it is almost a place in turmoil. A massive fire known as the "great calamity" burned a large portion of the wood. Now, the delicate balance and serenity of the wood is at risk of falling into chaos. More fires have displaced Forest-dwellers, tension is rising between the birdfolk and the humblefolk, and reports of bandits are increasing all the time. You must help to maintain the precarious balance and restore the wood to serenity. --- WHO IS THIS FOR? This campaign is perfect for 1. Experienced players seeking a fresh new setting, or 2. New players seeking a welcoming first game without too much lore to learn All players are welcome. This table is LGBTQ+ friendly and open to players or any age (18+) from anywhere in the world, from any background, and of any experience level. That being said, I will expect all players at the table to be equally welcoming. Those who don't value diversity and differences should seek a different game. --- THEMES - Community vs Chaos - Harmony with Nature - Prejudice, Pride, and Unity - Courage in Small Places - Hope in the Ashes --- MATERIALS We will begin with the main Humblewood campaign, which will cover the first few levels of advancement. After this, when I have a good sense of what the group enjoys, we can either move into the Humblewood Tales (and/or other published works) or move into homebrew adventures. Either way, there will be clear stopping points at regular intervals so that the group can discuss whether we're still having fun and want to continue playing together or whether we should wrap up our stories and complete the campaign. So far, I have a 100% completion rate on my campaigns. I hope to keep that streak alive by ensuring that we end the story when it's time for it to end. That could be in several months or several years. It all depends on the table. As with all things at my table, this will be a collaborative decision. --- If you have any questions or aren't sure if you would enjoy this campaign, PLEASE reach out to me. I am extremely responsive (this is my actual job) and I would love to talk with you so you can be confident and happy with your choice, whether it's my campaign or a different one. The last thing I would want is for you to join and then be unhappy.
