About the adventure
(LGBTQIA+ Friendly) It is the 202nd Year of the 4th Era Tamriel is in a state of decline. After the Great War, the Mede Dynasty lost much of their power and influence to the Aldmeri Dominion and it is a time of tumultuous change and uncertainty. With the banning of Talos, Skryim broke away from the Empire and began a civil war which heralded the return of Dragons, harbingers of the end times. Now, while the empires of men fight, Dawn's Beauty is left undefended from the evils of Oblivion. In these uncertain times, heroes are needed to preserve peace and ensure the future of Nirn. Children of Fate and Destiny, will you escape from your Prisons and Dream of a new world, free from war and tyranny? This campaign is perfect for players seeking an epic adventure within a high fantasy setting created by Bethesda, known for the Elder Scrolls series. The campaign features an overarching storyline, with each character's backstory intricately woven into the world. You will explore the vast continents, starting in Cyrodiil, becoming involved in political intrigue, confronting familiar and new enemies, uncovering hidden treasures, and rising to face both personal and formidable Daedra threatening the inhabitants of Tamriel. Your characters and their choices will shape the world around you. ⚔️ The campaign spans from level 1 to level 20, allowing players to experience high-level adventures and challenges in Tamriel. ⚔️ Homebrew additions, including unique monsters, magical items, and boons, will introduce exciting new elements for you to explore and experience. ⚔️ A curated playlist featuring music from the Elder Scrolls series will enhance each session. ⚔️ We will be using the 2014 5th Edition ruleset.

About me
Hello! Welcome all brave adventurers and weary travelers who have stumbled upon this page. My name is August (he/him) a humble DM who graciously invites you to join me for a few hours of entertainment and escapism as I present my worlds and stories for you to enjoy! I have been playing Tabletop RPGs for well over a decade and in that time I have found it to be the most wonderful and rewarding experience. As a DM, I have learned it is the very best way for me to convey my ideas and creations with the hope that it can inspire others, even if it's just in small little ways, if my stories help make a positive impact on someone, that means the absolute world to me. I may not be a perfect DM when it comes to remembering all the rules, but having fun is the most important rule at my table, so if my players are happy then I am happy! If you choose to try out a game with me, I can promise you rich and memorable experiences, a safe and comfortable environment, and endless stories you'll want to share with your friends that will have you coming back for more! I do hope you consider me in your gaming experience and if you do, I will welcome you with open arms and we will go on a epic journey together! The road goes ever on and on...
View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
We will be starting at Level 1 Character creation will be completed before the first session. I will give you the homebrew guide to help build your desired character, and they can be worked on leading up to when the game begins. Session 0 will be where character ideas should be finalized and decided on so that I may start incorporating the character's backstories into the game's story. Stats will be determine either by rolling for them, using point buy, or standard array, whichever method the player prefers. The Homebrew guide will be provided for you when you have submitted a request to play the game.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
We will be running the game on both discord and roll20. Make sure you have accounts for both. Bring a good quality mic and be prepared for the homebrew guide you will be provided upon confirmation of joining the game. If you have any questions, you can DM me here or at my discord (coldplayer64).
What August brings to the table
We will be playing on Roll20 which will provide us with virtual battlemaps and artwork to set the scene of the game. I enjoy roleplaying and hope to do it as much as possible if the players prefer more RP over combat and puzzles. Every game will have ambience and music, even in combat. The system itself is 5e, but will incorporate a plethora of homebrew to fit the Elder Scrolls setting including, races, subclasses, magic items, and spells. A guide will be provided for all players to know what to expect. When it comes to the rules, I am a very casual DM. We will adhere to the rules, so long as it doesn't impede on the enjoyment of the game. Rule of cool will be available to any player who brings great ideas and strategies to the game!

How August creates a safe table
The most important aspect of any game is ultimately for it to be a safe and comfortable space for any player who joins it. Sometimes certain groups don't get along together in a game, and that is okay. That is why we will have a Session 0 (FREE OF CHARGE) to get to know each other and set expectations about what we want out of the game and the vibe the group carries with it. As the DM, my open door policy is available to any player that may have issues come up at any point in the campaign either with the game, another player, or myself and I will work with you to find an amicable solution so that you can focus on the parts of the game that would give you enjoyment. If there is something you would feel uncomfortable having be apart of the game, just let me know and I will be sure to avoid it for the sake of my players. Breaks will be provided every session, and after every game we will spend some time debriefing with some aftermath care to give players the opportunity to share their positive and negative feelings about what they just played and how things can be improved for the next one. If you have any other questions, feel free to direct message me on Discord anytime! (coldplayer64)
