About the adventure
NOTE: This game will start on May 3, 2026. There could be several reasons to seek adventure in the Huloror Canyon. In the high desert of the canyonlands, the remnants of lost civilizations lie hidden deep within caves and underground ruins. Few know about them and fewer are foolhardy enough to venture into the canyon looking for treasure. The canyonlands are an unforgiving landscape and travelers seeking passage tend to make haste and try not to outstay their welcome. This adventure was originally written for Old School Essentials and has been converted to the Dragonbane system. The original title of the adventure gives away some of the surprise, so I have slightly modified it. This adventure is a hexcrawl/exploration of the Huloror Canyon. As such, there is no set number of sessions that the campaign will last. It will likely take 3-6 sessions to finish, but that number will vary depending on role-playing opportunities, side-quests and the general pace of the group.

About me
Playing since 1986 during 5th Grade recess and haven't looked back! I enjoy watching the stories grow and have many fond memories from decades of playing. For me, the journey of discovery is what makes roleplaying such a rewarding hobby!

Creating your character
You are welcome to bring in a new Dragonbane character! Just get me the details a few days in advance. Use the creation rules from the Rulebook. Talk to me first if you are considering any of the optional kin from the Bestiary. Alternatively, the standard Dragonbane Pre-Gens will be made available.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
A mic and headset are a must. If there is excessive background noise, I may ask you to switch to Push-to-Talk. A laptop/desktop computer to access Foundry (no account needed, just navigate to the weblink I will post in the Discord immediately before the game)
What Sir Beef brings to the table
Discord for Audio Foundry VTT Midjourney digital assets Mirth and Mayhem! We have the option to record the session and post it on my Youtube gaming channel where you can relive past glories! If you are not ok with this, please speak to me ahead of time!
Homebrew rules
I use an optional rule for poisons, but you are welcome to stick to the RAW. I make both available (I think my way is a little easier and a tad bit gentler). I also use an optional rule of 5 Improvement Marks per session (from the Solo rules), but I will also read the XP questionnaire if anyone wants to do it "by the book".

How Sir Beef creates a safe table
A Safe and Fun game are always the goal. I keep an open table and encourage private discussion ahead of time regarding any concerns about safety.
