About the adventure

"The sun aches to stretch its weakened arms to brush against the dusty and long-faded timber of the boardwalk. The stench of fish bowels and gunpowder sting the nostrils of anyone fool enough to spend their morning near the docks. The groaning, creaking floorboards of a local tavern begin their twisted song of life as barmaids and bouncers alike make their morning rounds to breathe artificial life into a cold and hollow frame. But some of us remember a time before. A time when our sun was not blotted out by ashes and fog, a time when music used to ring out from every tavern, late into the morning hours, a time before the land died and we were forced to occupy its corpse. A time before the war." Welcome to Isvara, a war-torn land stripped of its color, its resources, and most of the time, all of its joy. A centuries-long war and hatred older than any man alive force this world into an iron cage, locked in strife and struggle until somehow these conflicts can be resolved. You, brave adventurer, may just be what we need to restore the light to this shadow of what used to be... this shell of our former selves. Isvara is an open-world, dark fantasy game with steam punk elements, similar aesthetics to the Dishonored franchise, which will reflect in your free character and token art! Fine silks, rough canvas, clockwork machinery mixed with medieval fantasy elements; A world in transition from the old era into the new. Expect dangerous wild life, difficult challenges and puzzles, political intrigue, and a world full of monsters, fey, and weeping gods that may convince you that sometimes.. it IS best to run, and live to fight another day. You will uncover the secrets of this world and rise in both power and influence until you become agents of change, wether that change is the shackles of bondage being broken from the thinning wrists of the people... or for the chains, simply, to be placed into your hands, to be used as you see fit. Find a family of like-minded individuals with which to bring hope back to this world of ours... or tell half-truths, keep secrets, and play your cards close to your chest until you sieze your opportunity for power.

About me

I have been playing for 15 years and GMing for 10. I love new players, new groups, getting to know new people, and most of all running D&D! TTRPG's are my passion along with Voice acting, art, and music production. I use all of those passions to run my games and I feel that over my experience with running games I've developed those skills to be able to create incredible experiences for my players!

Character creation

Creating your character

You will each work with me in a free character creation session to craft a character and persona that fits the world. This is also where we hammer out the details of your character's appearance, so that I can make your free character artist and game token!

What to expect

Preparing for the session

We will be using discord for voice communication and music/sound effect streaming, and Roll20 VTT for maps, scenery, character sheets and rolls!

What The Man of Long Letters brings to the table

I will provide a rich narrative experience where your choices truly matter, and a chance to play in a living world that reacts to your characters and what they do. Fog of Isvara is a world ripe for the plucking. How it changes depends on the actions of your party!
