About the adventure

Friendly and accepting attitude towards the group is required and expected. 🎭Choose a starting side and help design the starting scenario as a group and experience a story tailored to you instead of a prewritten and unchanging module. 🗺️Participate in world creation (including the map) and make the story a true collaboration! 🗣️Roleplay and talk your way through the story if you wish instead of just hacking and slashing so-called "bosses"! ⚔️If you do want to hack and slash something though, there's always the truly monstrous and unrepentant! ⚙️Enjoy a robust and detailed Foundry setup with full character automation, as well as immersive animations and music, all of it online 24/7 on its own dedicated server. Narrative introduction: Ever since Haven invaded, the wild lands of Fanewick have struggled with containing the Witherwild, the unchecked and corrupting growth of flora and fauna. Archmage Phylax of Haven has stolen the Reaping Eye from the Shepherd of the Seasons, ensuring eternal spring and supply of the Lady's Veil, the only cure for the Serpent's Sickness. While the Serpent's Sickness has been moderately contained, forces within Haven and Fanewick realise that the Witherwild will grow to become a far greater threat if left unchecked. Both sides are trying to find a solution with ever increasing fervor, threatening an even greater and deadlier conflict. As heroes of either Haven or Fanewick, you must resolve the escalating situation before both lands are changed forever.

About me

As a GM with more than a decade of experience, I have a passion for cooperative storytelling, so I do everything I can to enable my players to tell their own stories as part of larger campaigns. I encourage players to participate in worldbuilding, whether in a published adventure (no need to stick to the written adventure if it's just going to mess with us having fun) or homebrew worlds. While I am primarily focused on open-ended sandbox stories and world-building, I do not neglect any of the "three pillars" (exploration, combat, and social interaction). My experience with virtual tabletops and intimate knowledge of the rules allow players to jump right in without a care in the world since I can get you started quickly and help you learn as we go along. Numerous beginner groups started with me and slowly transitioned to longer, more serious campaigns, which is why I enjoy teaching new people how to play tabletop RPGs, but also why I run plenty of campaigns in higher tiers of play. I am an experienced and patient GM who will do his best to accommodate his players and run a story we can enjoy together.
