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. You begin as an exiled band—cast out by decree, by crime, or by choice—banished to a cursed island at the edge of the known world. Your arrival brings you to a fortified settlement, a grim refuge where the exiled cling to survival behind crumbling walls. Beyond them lies a living darkness that stalks the land, pressing in relentlessly, waiting for weakness. You are not heroes—you are the frontline. Tasked with holding back the horrors beyond the walls, you will explore corrupted lands, repel nightmarish creatures, and make impossible decisions to keep the darkness at bay. Intrigue festers within the town as much as terror lurks outside it. Hidden agendas, moral compromises, and competing powers will force you to choose between evils, knowing that every decision reshapes the fate of the island—and the wider world beyond it. Take up arms in this unforgiving corner of the realm. Survival is uncertain. Victory is costly. And the darkness is always watching.

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.
