About the adventure
Being isekai’d into a new world with nothing but yourself can be scary! The world of Xixitham doesn’t leave people stranded naked in the wilds (unless you happen to be naked at the time of being isekai’d)! Being brought into the city of Kuwakuwa, adventurers are met with a primary task: climb the many floors of the tower and reach the end! Perhaps, the way to return everyone home is there! There is a caveat: the highest unlocked floor must be cleared every three months or risk a calamity unleashed into the city where you are currently residing! Be the first to clear it, and its riches and rewards await you. -------------- WHAT TO EXPECT: 🎭 Tone of the Game — It’s a casual game that allows players to explore and grow at their own pace. The game is inspired by anime such as Grimgar, Sword Art Online, Log Horizon, etc. 🌎 Immersive World Building — Emersive World Building — It’s a living and breathing world, the city has its own life and established system. Things just don’t stop there because they got isekai’d. People make the most of what they can in their lives and strive to survive. Ruins are out there to be discovered and unlock the mystery of what happened outside the tower. 💫 Open Character Development — How you and your party grow is up to you! Join a guild? Sure! Create and build up a guild? Absolutely! Claim resources in the name of your guild? Do it! Or simply purchase an establishment and upgrade it for yourself and/or with your party members. Become the most badass adventurer in the city and earn fame along the way? Absolutely! How you want to play and develop your character is entirely up to you. 🤝 Collaborative Gameplay — The tower floors, quests, and trials aren’t meant to be tackled solo. You must work together with your party and NPCs to succeed. ⚙️ Robust Crafting System — Need new gear? Want to customize and build it the way you want? You can. You simply have to find the resources and the talents to do so! Craft weapons, armors, clothing, and accessories to power up and suit up your character. -------------- GAME FEATURES: ⚔️ Custom Items 🧚♀️ Tweaked & Custom Species 👾 New Monsters 👨🌾 Challenge class: Commoner, ascends at lvl 20! -------------- PERKS: 🎇Free Session 0 - Let's get you created and ready for the game! 🧝 Free Design + Color Sketch of your in-game character after Session 10 ✨ More milestones to be revealed!

About me
I've been really getting into TTRPG since 2015, and I have now been GMing since 2019. All the campaigns I ran have been D&D 5e. I've also incorporated homebrew rules that enhance the quality of life for both players and the GM. Those rules and methods of keeping things intuitive, fresh, and exciting. I deeply enjoy creating worlds, lore, and weaving stories. Over time, I've seen players and characters grow throughout the journey. I must say, it was a pleasure to see the changes. I create many artworks of the world, creatures, items, and characters. I'm originally an artist by trade, and I enjoy doing so for my games as well.

Creating your character
We'll coordinate to schedule a private one-on-one session 0 to create the character. The session's communication tool will be Discord, and the VTTRPG platform will be on Roll20.net. I'll walk the player through character creation step-by-step. Things to note: • Ability Score = Point Cost • HP = Avg • Content: Following the newest contents available to GM (ie, 2024 rule set)
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Please make sure you have an account with the following platforms/apps: 🎧 Discord 📝 Roll20 Equipments: 🎤 Make sure you have a functioning mic 💻 A working computer 🌌 Good internet connection 🌞 And of course, your sanity
What Shanku, the Shiba GM brings to the table

Homebrew rules
The following are some examples of the house rules in my game. However, there are more of them and are explained in-depth in the Roll20 session handout: 📋 House Rules - GENERAL 📋 House Rules - COMBAT 🍀 LUCK OF THE DAY - Roll a d100 and see how luck bless(/curse) your party that day! ;) ☠️ LEVELED DEATH SAVES - As the player journeys to higher difficulty zones, enemies will hit hard, and failed death saves will be retained unless cured. 🩸 HEALING - Healing out of combat or outside of a dangerous situation is allowed to be all maxed value. Taking the time to rest and tend to the wound to allow maximum healing effectiveness. During combat, however, taking a swig at your healing potion or using healing hand on yourself can be a bonus action! 🌟 MARTIAL LETHAL CRITICAL - Double all dice + initial set dice will be maxed damage! ✨ MAGIC LETHAL CRITICAL - Double all dice, first set is maxed damage. 👼🏻 Custom Class: Commoner (good luck surviving) They are usually viewed as a hopeful person who aims for great gains. However, the majority of the people in the world view the adventurer class as a complete deadweight. Should they reach level 20, they will ascend into a new class that is not commoner, starting back at level 1, keeping some of their current commoner class features, feats, epic boon, items, and equipment, but resetting all waypoints and proficiency bonuses.
