About the adventure

Whatever your prior circumstances, you've ended up at the front gates of Silvercrest Academy, which prides itself on being the top school in the area for those practicing the arcane or martial arts. Enroll as a student, apply for a job, investigate from the shadows, but beware. Much is not as it seems. Throughout your stay at the academy, you will invariably uncover vast mysteries and deep conspiracies. It is up to you to decide what depth to dive and where your inquiries end. Not all answers will be pretty to look at, but the truth lies just beyond your sight. Will you grasp it and unearth forbidden secrets, or will you fall prey to your ignorance and meet your untimely demise? Only time will tell.

Character creation

Creating your character

Reach out to me with character concepts @shaken_thesaurus on Discord. I don't mind which method you use for stats (point-buy, standard array, rolling). If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask. The worst thing for a game is a confused player, so I'll try to resolve any uncertainties within the rules or my homebrew world. Details of the setting will follow on Discord.

What Leo brings to the table

I do voices occasionally (poorly), and I provide maps for key locations. This adventure is meant to be more mystery-heavy than straight-up combat, but there are definitely opportunities for strong characters to shine.
