About the adventure
You were someone important. Someone special. You lived a good life, surrounded by people who loved and respected you. Or perhaps they feared you instead. But they knew you. There were no big life changing threats on the horizon. And then you heard this… voice. A swell of violet fog rolled up around you and you swear you saw shapes writhing in the mists. When you woke up you were laying in the grass in a nation you didn’t recognize, surrounded by strangers whose stories mirrored your own. As you gathered yourselves you learn from a nearby village that this nation, Shinia, has a bit of a dragon problem. The problem offers gold and you need gold to get yourselves situated. What’s more, you need gold to find a way home. To find out what that fog was, and what that voice wanted. Together, you may just find all three. ❣️ Characters will be level 3-10. ❣️ Start with One Rare, Two Uncommon Magic Items ❣️ 2000gp for equipment/potions ❣️ A tailored set of table rules with QoL changes for 2014/2024 classes. ❣️ And More!

About me
Hello, my name is Pixels and I'm thrilled to provide a wonderful gaming experience for you. I've been gm-ing for nearly a decade, and am versed in a number of systems including Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition, Pathfinder 1st and 2nd editions, Starfinder 1st edition, Open Legend, Call of Cthulhu, Monster of the Week and Shadowrun. I tend to be a Rule of Cool gm, using Rules as Written as a base to allow for player creativity and problem solving. Not everything is allowed, but there's often a way to bend a rule to make for an amazing outcome. I look forward to telling a story with you!
View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
Characters will be created prior to or during session 0. Character starting level is currently 10 but we can discuss it during session 0. Characters should be created in roll20, and all books printed by wotc are allowed. Homebrew is allowed with permission.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You'll need a discord and a roll20 account. You'll also need to have a token and put it on your roll20 character sheet.
What 8bitpixelheart brings to the table
As a gm I provide maps sourced from talented creators on patreon as well as maps that I make myself. I also provide my compendium and a bounty of third party sources to explore. I tend towards Rule of Cool, with Rules as Written being more of a back up. I do use rather intense combat, but nothing is unfair or meant to 'punish' you. I try to do voices and music as well.
