About the adventure
🦊Adventure across a vast, original world! 🦊Play as a cute critter overcoming the odds! 🦊Meet friends and enemies who will assist or impede you! TITAN, the largest moon of Silvanus-- also regarded as the Animus Moon, is a verdant satellite home to the towering forests of Anhelm. Here, its denizens include the Animus, particular animal-like creatures, anthropomorphic in nature, resembling small forest critters that huddle across the vast moon in tight-knit tribes and cultures uniquely their own. These tribes, thousands in numbers, are mostly at odds with one another, whether it be in political disputes for land or power, or old grudges passed down for generations. However, while tensions simmer, one true threat boils across Titan-- that being the embodiment of death and pestilence, known as the Jaws of Winter. This terrifying entity emerges from the winds and cold when the days are at their shortest, beginning its dreadful hunt known as the Culling. The Jaws of Winter never stops hunting, devouring everything that it sweeps across like a terrifying force of nature, slaughtering and laying waste to tens of thousands, destroying tribes and settlements, and sweeping across the verdant moon leaving nothing but dust and skeletons in its wake. And only until the winter moon sets once more, are the Jaws of Winter satiated. Deep-rooted in culture and religion, many of the tribes practice their own traditions to combat this horrible entity, whether it be making sacred medicines, burying themselves deep within ancient burrows, or even picking up and migrating to where it's warmer. However, something foul stirs as autumn approaches, the winds more brisk than usual. Winter is coming early. And through natural phenomenon, it seems like that it'll be here to stay for much, much longer. And this time, Winter seems hungrier than ever. Faced with the reality of the Jaws of Winter baring fangs more terrible than ever, the Animus tribes of Titan are forced to make a decision out of desperation-- to finally put a stop to this entity and to save the moon of Titan. Sending the most esteemed members and warriors of their numerous tribes, these heroes congregate within a sacred land called the Restless Hollow to raise arms to quell Winter once and for all! However, with being the heroes to change fate forever, the crown of success is quite heavy as many wish to wear it. Despite this shaky, temporary truce, many of the tribes still bare fangs at one another’s throats for this honor. But you are among the chosen heroes. Perhaps you're a brave mouse wizard, from the ancient Rootbound, or a fluffy owl knight from the Midnight Pines. Wherever you come from, and whatever you do, you wish to save the world. For honor, pride, self-interest, or heroism-- the choice is yours! But know that the monsters within the Gardens of Titan aren't just DEATH itself. Monsters lurk around every corner, and in the reflection of every set of twinkling eyes.

About me
Hey there! I'm Dandy and I've been a DM for over eight years now, exploring all sorts of systems. At the moment, I'm specializing in Dungeons and Dragons 5e and World of Darkness. I love making lore-heavy games with intensive and deep world-building, deep roleplays and opportunities for character growth, interaction and development. I am a transmasculine freelance artist and illustrator as well, having many years of experience in both artwork and character design and creation. With both my love of artwork and storytelling, being a dungeon master has become a blessing on my life. It's given me so many amazing opportunities and experiences to meet many people from so many different walks of life perspectives. Being able to share my ideas, worlds, and experiences with people is my pride and joy. I'm looking forward to creating a story with you, too! 🎨 I wish to empower creativity! The usage of artificially generated artwork and writing is strictly prohibited at my tables! All of my games are AI free!

How Dandy creates a safe table
We will go over the Session Zero, table rules and expectations at the beginning of the campaign, and at the end of every session I'll offer player feedback and request DM feedback as well. I will do my best so that we will all be on the same page, and remain comfortable and transparent. This campaign will cover dark and other various uncomfortable topics. Please, if you're interested in attending this campaign, understand that by joining this campaign, you consent in being mature with these topics, and to handle them in character and to also understand that they are being handled delicately as fictional content. Riding off of this, you must understand that the actions and beliefs of characters are not congruent to the beliefs and actions of the players who control them.
