About the adventure
This is a campaign about family. You are part of the Azura bloodline; a family tied to an ancient order of Planeswalkers. Something went wrong. The current party are brothers who watched their parents murdered right in front of their eyes. What started as revenge turned into something bigger… uncovering a hidden legacy of planar travel, buried truths, and a family history that someone wants erased. This story is about what happens when: The law is corrupt, the truth doesn’t matter, and the only people you can trust share your blood. As a new member to the game, you’ll play a member of the Azura family. That could be: - a long-lost sibling - a cousin who knows more than about what's happening - an aunt or uncle with history or something stranger (this is a planeswalking bloodline) We’ll build your connection to the family together, so let's have some fun! -- The party is in the Plane of Water, investigating strange activity tied to a powerful Dwarven family with deeper connections than expected. The Party: - Elf Bard - Human Artificer - Tabaxi Rogue - Air Genasi Monk (Yes, they're all brothers by blood. Planeswalking does interesting things. lol) The World is Homebrew, high-concept, strange, and full of wonder. You won’t be dropped in, we’ll work together to tie you into the family & we'll get to figure out what your character lost together.

About me
Greetings, I'm Cake! I'm your easy going facilitator of both in-person and online quests in D&D, Daggerheart, & Call of Cthulhu. I've been a storyteller my whole life, but about six years ago I fell in love with the TTRPG medium & I haven't looked back! The art of creating adventures and crafting stories has captivated me since my childhood & now that I've found TTRPGS, these wild ideas have been evolving into handcrafted memorable campaigns. I like to blend fantasy, horror, & humor into a a few hours of gaming where we can just sink into our characters & experience their scenes together. Shared storytelling is one of my favorite things about TTRPGs, as a DM, I set up the world & you knock it down, sometimes literally... Join me on our collective journey through thrilling escapades, where laughter, challenges, and unforeseen surprises await. Together, we'll co-create stories and forge memories to live in our hearts forever.

What Cake brings to the table
Music, art, voices, & a love of story! There will be plenty of combat, but the emotional through line is always the family. The group will choose the family name together during Session 0. This campaign begins grounded and personal, then expands into a larger and stranger world over time. In Session 0, we will also decide the Bonds and Relationships between family members. You choose how close, strained, or complicated those relationships are. **This listing covers Arc One, Levels 1–5. Later arcs may extend beyond this range if the group wants to continue.**
Homebrew rules
Death Saves are Whispered. Opporunity attacks are all made at DISADVANTAGE if the runner has allies within 5 ft of the attacker.
