About the adventure
Zeus mighty thunder bringer has issued a challenge for any that can sail from his temple in Athens to the edge of the world and to the primordial river circling the edge of the world that he might grant them a wish. Odysseus got close but it has been an age since then. 20 years has past many renown sailors have tested their luck on Poseidon's wine deep waves and yet none have made it to the edge. In this campaign sail island to island in exploration across the siren sea to the edge of the world. Heavily based off of The Odyssey and One Piece. The setting will be a custom Greek setting. A world where all the myths are history. Limited races and no clerics. Limited races include: Humans, several varieties of Nymphs, Tritons, Medusa, Minotaur, Satyrs, Dragonborn, and Warforged. Complete guide will be included on the discord. The game will be played in Foundry VTT, accompanied by a voice call in Discord. During the game, it will be used alongside Theater of Mind to provide a full image of any events and situations that might happen. Artwork, soundtracks, and battle maps will be provided by the DM.

About me
Hello Epic Heroes! My name is Alex, and I've been running TTRPGs for about 2 and some change years now and playing for four. I deeply love all things storytelling. I especially love telling stories that make people feel and think about things inside the worlds of fiction. I want to give my players a place to tell the stories they want. To be transported to another world full of life and wonder for them to explore and learn about. My day job is as a mechanical engineer, and I am a Greek mythology nerd. All my dnd games are run in a homebrew world based on ancient Greek myths. I’m also queer, neurodivergent, with ADHD and dyslexia. I take safety and respecting people's identities very seriously.

Creating your character
We will go over the campaign and setting to clarify any questions in session 0, and then we proceed into character discussion and brainstorming as a group. I would like to schedule time outside of session to meet One-on-one with me where I'll help you create your character using Foundry VTT and polishing up character ideas and backstories. Characters will start at Level 2, using 2014 rule set and standard ability score generation (either point buy or standard array—your choice). The player races are limited in this setting. The document of the available races will also be in the discord. We will also be using the piety system by J. J. Crowley with some exceptions the document will be included on the discord. There will also be No Clerics. - (Recommended if you have some experience) You bring a character idea already based on the provided materials, and I'll help you create it using Foundry VTT; - (Recommended if you have no experience) You select from a list of characters I have already created before tackling character creation.
