About the adventure
The life of a Kaiju hunter is one of honour, power, and wealth. It also tends to be quite short, and lacking in a retirement plan. Each hunt is a self contained episode in a different location. At the start of the session we will do some brief housekeeping, then we will ease into an in character briefing from the Hunter Guild, who will explain what they know of each Kaiju. Players will have the chance to discuss and plan their approach, then we will go into the fight itself.

About me
Hi there, my name is David, and I wear many hats: nerd, nurse, father and more, but on this website the crown I wear is that of a Dungeon Master! I specialize in running 1:1 duets play-by-post games, as well as high level tier 3-4+ play. I’m based in the UK and am broadly available to talk 8 pm- 12 pm UK time, which is 3 pm - 7pm EST. This is the time window that I write most my daily posts. My pricing varies by the amount of skill and time that go into a game, where simpler games such as starter adventures cost $40 a week, and more complex games like my level 20+ games cost $60 a week.

Creating your character
Characters should be created on dnd beyond. Access to my compendium is provided once you’ve joined. I will then pull your sheet across to foundry. I need a ready to play character sheet provided at least 30 minutes before the scheduled session start. Starting equipment as per the 2024 player’s handbook. We won’t bother counting gold, assume you can buy whatever mundane gear you need. For magic items you can pick: 1 Very Rare, 3 Rare, 4 Uncommon, 2 Common. All official content is permitted. 2024 rules will be used as the default but 2014 also permitted. I am open to discussions involving reputable 3rd party content.

What David brings to the table
- Years of experience running DnD adventures. - Access to my extensive compendiums on DnD Beyond, featuring a vast collection of official books. For this adventure specifically I can share the relevant PDFs for the setting of the Yokai Realms. - A collection of accents and voices; but not professional voice acting. - Curated music to set the mood and enhance the ambiance. - Generally a Rules as Written approach as my default approach, with a comprehensive knowledge of the rules.
Homebrew rules
There are several new mechanics that come with Kaiju that will be summarised in posts on discord. The key points are that Kaiju do not have simple hitpoints like a normal boss and you cant just use brute force to defeat them. They have a "Chaos Threshold", and "Vulnerable Areas" that need to be exposed, targetted and disabled in specific ways. In this way they function both as a fight and as a bit of a puzzle.
