About the adventure
Rome is alive, and the gods walk among men. Every law, every ritual, every oath bends under their gaze. One broken rite, one misstep, and the city itself can erupt in chaos. Senators debate, augurs watch the skies, and even the smallest citizen must navigate a world where divine forces are real—and dangerous. This is a game of power, ambition, and consequence. Players take on the roles of mortals trying to survive and thrive in the Republic, balancing politics, intrigue, and the demands of gods who answer to no one. History and myth collide here, and every choice carries weight. Will you uphold the ancient rites, or risk divine wrath for your own gain? Rome is watching—and so are its gods.

About me
I’ve been GM-ing for about five years, mostly D&D 5e, and I’m starting to get into 3.5e. I like player-driven games and adjusting the tone to fit the story and setting, whether things are serious or more laid-back. Most of my experience is running games for friends, so I focus on keeping sessions fun, flexible, and easygoing, and I’m always happy to help with rules or learning the game.

Creating your character
Character creation can be done either before the first session or during the first session, as the first session will be a free session 0. Stats will be decided by rolling dice. Players will start at level 1 and will be leveling up by milestone. Characters can be created with official or homebrew material. Any homebrew material used in character creation must be brought to attention and approved in order to be used.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Discord is a must, as that's where the campaign will take place, in a dedicated server for it with all resources available.
What Aurelian II brings to the table
I do a bit of a mix of Rule of Cool and Rules as Written. I'm flexible in the determinations of how actions and rules are intertwined. I utilize character voices for each important npc. Ambient music is used depending on the mood of the party. If the party would like some ambient music, then I'll have some going
Homebrew rules
Potions as bonus actions, rolling for a skill check gets harder the more attempts you make with the same method Any other homebrew rules can be brought up by players and implementation can be decided based on a party vote

How Aurelian II creates a safe table
Keywords will be discussed during session 0. A set 15 minutes post session will be dedicated to a check in with players on how they felt about the session. Keywords indicating an immediate stop or shift in scene can be messaged directly in cases where discretion is preferred by the requesting party. In such an event, communication will be held immediate to go over any sort of aid that member should/may need in that moment.
