About the adventure
A kingdom once united by the power of the Ember Crown now lies in ruins, its legacy forgotten by all but a few. In The Ember Crown: Rise of the Forgotten Kings, you and your party must journey through a fractured land, reclaiming the lost crowns of ancient monarchs to restore balance—or plunge the world into eternal chaos. Dark forces seek the power of the Ember Crown for their own nefarious purposes, and it’s up to you to stop them before it’s too late. From vast mountain fortresses to treacherous swamps, uncover the buried history of fallen kings and the deadly secrets they left behind. Your quest will lead you to face the twisted remnants of royal bloodlines, navigate shattered alliances, and unlock the true power behind the Ember Crown itself. Every decision you make could change the fate of the realm. What you can expect: A deep narrative with political intrigue, ancient history, and powerful artifacts. Exploration of varied landscapes, from ruined castles to enchanted forests. Challenging moral dilemmas and unpredictable encounters. Roleplay-heavy moments with rich character development opportunities. Requirements: Players of all experience levels are welcome. 4-6 players, sessions once a week (or as agreed). Are you ready to claim the Ember Crown—or will you let its power consume you?

About me
~20 years of rpg gaming which led me to DND... Needless to say, I've found something that I can throw my creative juices into! I love to create worlds where the players can immerse themselves and let their imaginations run wild. I am not the biggest "rulebook" stickler - meaning I'm ok twisting some things or homebrewing here and there. That said, there is always going to be some structure in the form of precedent and clear communication of how to address certain scenarios moving forward. I wouldn't call myself the 'premier' choice of DM, but I want to make this content accessible and grow from the experience playing with you!

What DM Chuck brings to the table
I want to make the world YOURS, and I strongly believe that my ideas alone are not going to be the best for everyone's fun. I can push the content and direction, but strongly encourage the players to make this escape truly their own as well. I will be bringing VTT content, overarching story, character development, and encounters. You bring your character concept, and engage with the world to make it your own.
