About the adventure
The world is Young, most of the continents and species have been isolated by the oceans, lack of technological resources, and ocean wildlife. The Empire is on a largish continent that had a few different species on it - About 10 races that can be decided by the players, and in the current era of unity the year is only 19, as the last era of war has just ended with an all race alliance and the forming of the Empire of Unity. With the Unity it is clear that there is not enough space for all the people so as an addition plan for peace, The Expedition Series has been put in order find new lands to expand into. Expedition 01 - The very first of the Expedition Series, Sent out with the best magically reenforced ship, the brand new constructs known as Expedition Dolls of which only 13 were made for each of the Expedition Teams: The Players will be on Expedition Team 3 Teams 2-8 are scout teams Teams 9-11 are holding teams (to hold down areas of importance) Team 13 being the disciplinary team Team 1 leading the whole expedition The game will start as the Expedition arrives on a large island, that was determined to be a good place to set up the first outpost and village.

Creating your character
Classes are all available (5e & 5.5e, and homebrew with approval) Races won't be too limited apart from Changelings & Warforged which are not yet evolved. Stats are Rolled: Roll 3 whole sets and pick your favorite Set. There will be an Expedition Uniform, Not to limit creativity but for the standard magical items across the Team, it is mainly the under layer of clothing and can be accessorized. (Art of what the uniform looks like will be provided) There is Prep-made characters which will include a Pre-curser Warforged as an option. The Warforged has an In W.I.P Artwork by the DM at the time of writing this, if your joining later then it might be finished. The rest can be answered during Session 0

What Samuel Grace brings to the table
Custom & Purchased Maps Voices Custom Artworks for some of the NPC's
Homebrew rules
Wild/Custom Magic: Due to the world being so full of magic ill allow magic outside set spells with High DC Arcana or Magic Rolls. Spell Crafting: I allow custom spells to be made with Roleplay, Testing, and Cost if you have an idea for a custom spell Message the Dm and we'll work it out together. Additional Skills: If you can provide a good reason, the Dm will accept additional proficiencies or Expertise Targeted Hits: In melee you can say you are going for a Targeted Hit, and aim for a certain part of what your fighting. depending on what your aiming for it will add to a higher DC to actually hit what you want, if failed and you beat the AC you will still hit as normal.
