About the adventure
📯📯 HEAR YE, HEAR YE! 📯📯 The blessing and curse of knighthood is now one you must bear. Perhaps you were trained since birth to take upon the heavy mantle, mayhaps chance and glory found you at your lowest, or maybe, just maybe, your life of comfort and peace came undone with the saying of a seer. Whatever the case, your new fate as a knight of the realm awaits. Following the book's creation rules, I'll create a unique realm for you and your party of glory-seeking knights to explore. It'll start as a downtrodden kingdom, but your actions and feats carry the possibility of allowing it to rise to become so much more. Establish roads, rebuild from ruins, help villages expand into sprawling settlements, and earn a position of power until, perhaps, the crown rests upon your brow! Mythic Bastionland is a game of Arthurian fantasy first and foremost, so do not expect to be dealing with your average monster of legend. Up to 72 sprawling myths, ranging from... ☀️The Sun wandering the lands as its giant new lord! 🌊The River tended by mysterious monks which threatens to engulf the realm and spawns monstrous newts! ⚜️The Order of opposing knights that threaten to overtake the seat of power and rule themselves! ... will be set against you, who will in turn be using the archetype of 72 different knights! All with different abilities and powers, such as... ☄️ The Meteor knight! Immune to any damage from falling, and who crashes down unto the fray with a shockwave! 🍺 The Tankard knight! A smooth talker who can obtain secrets from anyone after a few good drinks! ⚰️ The Ghoul knight! Who may rise from their grave again and again, their wounds and scars still fresh every time! This is an adventure whose ending even I don't know for sure. You may very well not even reach it with your starting knight, but fear not! A tale is not over with a tombstone, only when you decide the age of the knights is over. But until then, take on the mantle, the oaths, and set out for your duty! 🐎

About me
Going more than a decade strong in the hobby. Started with nothing more than a group of friends with a second-hand 3.5 player handbook and now I've got at least a dozen campaigns under my belt in all sorts of systems, from 5e to Dark Heresy and Delta Green. What I aim to bring is... - 1️⃣ A table where people can speak to one another casually and easily. Good vibes, good jokes, good times. - 2️⃣ Helping players spread their wings with their roleplay chops. I want to know your character's backstory, the people they care about and those they loathe in equal measure. Weaving together everything the players bring to the table is, I've found, the best way to create memorable moments. - 3️⃣ Challenging combat with stakes. I'll fully admit that I usually start off with kiddy gloves to measure how capable my players are, but once I know your limits I'll be having you ride the fine line between living and dying. If my rolls actually work out, that is... - 4️⃣ A space where you can come to me behind the scenes without worry. If something comes up that puts a damp in your enjoyment, your schedule is suddenly hellish, or practically anything else? If it's within my power to change then let's see what we can do!
View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
Character creation in Mythic Bastionland takes only a few minutes. I'll ask the players beforehand for their rolls and arrange the character sheets in Foundry myself. Players will be encouraged to come up with a backstory according to the results of the roll table of their respective knight. Players are also VERY encouraged to go with fate and simply roll randomly for their knight instead of choosing it outright! Although the latter option is still possible.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players will be provided with all the materials necessary to learn the rules and system. It will not be obligatory to read everything, but at least a rough understanding of the combat and key systems will be required for session 0. No physical items needed due to the virtual nature of the game. Players will also need to create a free account on the hosting site, Sqyre, as well as join the Discord server where we'll handle voice chat.
What Kralion brings to the table
A realm to explore, myths of the good, the bad, and the worse, and YOUR tale of the rise, fall, and everything in-between of your knights. I want YOUR actions to reflect upon the realm, to make each victory and defeat feel like your own. For the more visual and audio aspect, I'll bring modules for combat visuals, macros for ease of play, hand-picked music, and custom maps made by myself through Dungeondraft or through other sources. And yes, I have vocal chords with an *acceptable* level of range.
Homebrew rules
We'll be using some of the additional changes listed in the Bastionland blog, but all of them are additions on the GM side of things, so nothing to concern yourself about.

Safety
How Kralion creates a safe table
Session 0 will consist of everyone introducing their characters, backstories, and goals in detail as well as anything that they'd rather not see in the campaign. My DMs are ALWAYS open for any discussion regarding the contents of the game or the use of cards. A short 10 to 15 minute break will happen once per game to get drinks, go to the bathroom, stretch, etc.
