About the adventure
This campaign is set within a shared world where every action carries weight, and the consequences of your choices ripple across other campaigns. Join a band of mercenaries and venture into the scorching desert lands of Orcis. Travel between scattered desert towns, where every new ally could be a powerful friend—and every stranger could be a deadly enemy. Explore ancient ruins, unlock hidden tombs, and recover lost artifacts that could shift the balance of the war against the forces of evil. Whether you seek coin, fame, or glory, your path will be paved with danger, mystery, and thrilling discovery. Survive the harsh sands, outwit ruthless bandits, and prove that you have what it takes to thrive in the desert.

About me
Hello everyone! I am Dm Tolis and I've been dming/playing TTPRGs (DND 5e, Pathfinder 1&2e, Vampire, Hunter, Geist to name a few) for 13 years. I’ve recently decided to move on with an online platform to meet new players, guide them through old and new adventures, and witness how they interact with and leave an impact on the stories. I might be new to using Foundry (my preferred method of online DMing), but I am comfortable in my knowledge of it and can safely ensure my players can adapt to this virtual tabletop. For now, I’ve run a few one shots with close friends to ensure everything runs smoothly, whether in Greek or English language. If you are up for a game full of roleplaying, unique and gritty battles, intricate plots and vibrant worlds feel free to join me in an upcoming adventure. There’s always room for everyone, whether a new eager adventurer or a grizzled returning veteran, and I always strive to provide a safe environment in my sessions where everyone can enjoy themselves.

Creating your character
We will discuss character creation in more detail during Session 0. For now, please note that all players will start at level 1. All player options from official 5e books are available. Characters will be created on D&D Beyond to allow for easier transfer to Foundry VTT.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Once you join the game, I will invite you to a Discord server where we can discuss further details and what you need to do. We use Foundry as our VTT, and you will need at least a PC and a microphone to participate.
What Dm Tolis brings to the table
I’m a fan of the “rule of cool,” so as long as it makes sense, creative and exciting ideas are highly encouraged. There will be plenty of challenging combats where clever player strategies can give you an advantage. I also homebrew a lot of content, so be prepared.

How Dm Tolis creates a safe table
We will discuss everyone’s “yes” and “no” boundaries, and there will be a short break during the game to let off steam and take care of personal needs.
