About the adventure

Festival of the First Crown The first festival celebrating survival of the Dark Elf War. Compete against other adventurers to earn the title of Champion of Tetara. Over 15+ festival mini-games, players will face off in friendly competition using simple skill checks and basic stat rolls, all scored through a clear point system. Players will compete in groups of five, earning position points each round. New groups will rotate in throughout the day, with up to 30 total participants taking part. All scores are tracked across the entire event. At the end of the day, points are tallied and a single Festival Champion is crowned. Your character — and their actions — can become part of Tetara’s lore (if you wish). The champion will be recorded in the world’s history regardless. This is a free welcome event, designed for: 2–3 hours of light, fast-paced play Easy-to-learn mechanics Meeting new players

About me

Hello fellow adventurers! I'm your guide to a world born from boundless creativity and the roll of the dice. I've been mastering the art of Dungeon Mastering for over four years, steering a ship through the turbulent and fantastical seas of a homebrew world I crafted from scratch. My games are built on the foundations of D&D 5e, but here, imagination and roleplay take the front seat, leaving the strict rule-following in the dust. I believe in a game where freedom and storytelling intertwine, creating memorable, character-driven journeys. Whether you're a seasoned player or a curious newcomer, I strive to weave your character's backstory into the very fabric of the world, enriching the narrative and ensuring your place in this evolving tale. While I don't use voice acting, I excel at matching the tones and styles of various NPCs to enhance the narrative and bring our characters to life. This approach helps maintain the immersion and gives each character a unique presence in our story. I use Discord for seamless communication and VTT to bring our encounters to life. I also require players to have the DnD Beyond 20 extension for a smooth and integrated gaming experience. My sessions are rich with visuals and assets that enhance your experience and draw you deeper into the lore. The Campaign world I run is called Tetara. Tetara’s history is shaped by three major events: The Great War — an ancient conflict that left behind scattered ruins, lost histories, and sealed remnants of old powers. The War of the Gods — a later upheaval that damaged the world further and erased or distorted large parts of recorded history. The Dark Elf War — the most recent and catastrophic conflict.(The original campaign) This war pushed the world to the brink of extinction and sets the stage for the beginning of the entire campaign saga. Where Player Involvement Began Players entered the story at the exact end of the Dark Elf War, when nearly everything was in ruins. (the last remaining kingdom Aras, an island kingdom, made its final stand) There were: no stable governments collapsing borders scattered survivors no clear leadership widespread devastation From that point, the players themselves became the foundation of the new era. In the first campaign, the players founded the first two kingdoms after the war, (Elmwood Republic and Kingdom of Aideon) directly deciding how civilization restarted and what the new world would look like. Everything that exists in modern Tetara — nations, alliances, rivalries, political structures, and emerging cultures — is built on the choices players made in those early sessions. The Player Premise Moving Forward Across all campaigns since then, players continue to drive the direction of the world by: Rebuilding towns, nations, and systems of governance Strengthening or reshaping the kingdoms they originally founded or new ones Exploring ruins and sites left behind by the Great War and War of the Gods Recovering lost knowledge and history Protecting the world from new threats tied to old conflicts Influencing future politics, alliances, and conflicts Deciding what Tetara becomes in the long term The world is intentionally open and player-driven. Each campaign adds new information, new consequences, and new pieces of the world’s story. The Overall Player Goal Across all current and future campaigns, the broad purpose is: Rebuild the world after the Dark Elf War Maintain or evolve the kingdoms players created Uncover the truth about Tetara’s past Understand how the Great War and War of the Gods still affect the present Prevent hidden or forgotten dangers from rising again Shape the next era of Tetara through their actions as teams Players are not just adventurers in the world; they are the ones building the world, rebuilding civilization, and creating the future history of Tetara. If you're ready to explore a multi-layered world where the story reacts to your choices and the limits are as vast as your imagination, grab your dice, and let's create memorable adventures together!

What Dm/Gm Travis brings to the table

Players will have access to the Player bible (a player book regarding unique items, lore, timelines, races and more) All links to discord and the game will be provided. This game is PERFECT for people new to homebrew and/or DND! Simple skill checks and base checks will be used to judge scores. This "one shot" will have a scoring system based on placements. Example: First group starts at 8am. over the course of their mini games they will be scoring points based on position of each game. Next group 11am 1pm etc etc repeat. At the end of the day, after ALL groups have finished and scores completed a winner will be announced. Winner will become permanent lore in the world of Tetara. that being said, you may build or not build a back story for your character that will be tied to the world forever!
