About the adventure

In the town of Wildcrest, you’ve mastered the local trades, but the walls of the valley have started to feel a little too close. Famous for its specialized menagerie and skilled artisans, the town is the perfect place to retire in, and an even better place to leave behind. You are a group of young and aspiring merchants and explorers who have decided that the real treasures of the world aren't just sitting around tiwn, they are waiting in the "blank spots" of the map. This is a Slice-of-Life campaign designed with the age of exploration at its heart. Your primary home will be your caravan of exotic pack beasts, a living headquarters that carries your dreams and your inventory across diverse landscapes. You won't just be fighting monsters, you’ll be scouting hidden valleys for rare goods, finding new flavors, traditions, and ways of doing things. As well as brokering trade routes between isolated villages, and selling vital information to those who need it most. The world will be driven by rumors, stories, and strange goods. A whispered story in a tavern about an old tower in a distant village, a forest that's rumored to contain a magical spring, or maybe just a larger-than-normal harvest two towns over will determine your next heading. You’ll encounter objects that defy identification—from mysterious gems found in the deep woods to hybrid herbs that might hold the secret to new inventions. In this campaign, your nose for business is just as important as the power of your sword arm. So if you want to trade the dungeon crawl for the open road. Build your brand, bond with an exotic pack beast, and discover how information is the most valuable currency in the world. Then this is the game for you!

About me

Greetings adventurers! I’m Arden, your guide through worlds of magic and mystery. My mission is to create unforgettable stories and immerse you in worlds where your imagination can run wild. My main approach to DnD is that it is a place for collaborative storytelling, where a group of stranger come together to weave an epic story all their own. With years of experience in storytelling and a passion for creating new stories, I hope bring creativity, adaptability, and a touch of magic to every campaign and one-shot. No matter if you are a seasoned adventurer or just embarking on your first adventure, I'm dedicated to making each session a memorable one.

Character creation

Creating your character

All official DnD content allowed as well as all third-party content available on beyond. Homebrew is allowed on a case by case basis after review, will generally allow most things as long as they're not broken (or more broken than the official options 🤣 ) How we do stats and items will be determined during session 0. Though I tend to lean more towards rolling than using standard or point buy.

What to expect

Preparing for the session

Required: - Internet Access - Microphone - Free Roll20 and Discord accounts Recommended: - Free D&D Beyond account - Beyond20 browser extension - Please make your displayed name across StartPlaying, Discord and Roll20 the same, so there's as little confusion as possible Example: Character's Name (Username) - Have a quiet space to play so we don't have distracting background noise

What Arden brings to the table

Maps, background music, and an epic journey to remember! Discord voice with private channels for Players. Roll20 VTT DnD Beyond with shared resources and most books needed for character creation/items/feats.
