About the adventure

Almost two years ago I came to a group of friends who were all actors and we decided to do a one-shot. One player had knowledge of D&D 3.5e from prior games played, another had run Cyberpunk many years prior and the rest were completely new. At the end of the one-shot I heard "We want more" and we have been playing since. Thus, I bring you Kurokk - The Unwavering Place A homebrew world, with a custom pantheon and an open world for you to explore. Discover the lush green druidic forests of Himmelo, to the religious sanctuaries of Blhavmann and Rolgun to the criminal tinkerers and outlaws of Brisbenet We begin your story within Havenfell, the mysterious floating capital of the continent. Within the Mørksmug (Shadow District) of Havenfell, whispers have begun of a rumor regarding The Master of the Mistsplit who has gone missing.... Regardless or not if these rumors are true, intrigue has a way of inserting itself at the end of the day I want to be able to work with you to bring a character you've always wanted to play to life, giving them the story they deserve Whether or not you have decades of experience with TTRPG's to never having thought or touched one, together we can bring your story to life

Character creation

Creating your character

Character discussion: IF you have something you already want to bring to the table, awesome! I encourage you to be ready to talk about cohesion with other players so you, I and the other players can collaborate together during play sessions Session 0: Before we begin our campaign, we will be reviewing our characters, backstories as well as any plot hooks and character connections you'd like to explore Character creation and campaigns will be happening in D&DBeyond where you will have full access to all of my sourcebooks to be able to use You will create a level 3 character within D&DBeyond before getting a private invite to the campaign!

The current party

None yet! Session Zero we will get into party notes and dynamics.

What to expect

Preparing for the session

Audio Setup: Have a working microphone; webcams are optional. Rules: Never read the rules? That's okay! We can go over main basics during session 0, and will meet you part-way regarding these rules during sessions. I'd rather you start playing before you worry about the rules Character Creation: Create a level 3 character within D&DBeyond Discord: Must have a discord account and be willing to use a private server for our sessions Maps: I have both foundry and D&D for maps, we will have a discussion on which we will use for simplicity in session 0

What TrontGM brings to the table

Voiceover Actor: I am a voiceover artist, so providing professional voices for lovable to extremely hated NPC's Ambient playlists: I will be using KenkuFM to provide background music and ambience noises during our sessions Instructor background: Previously taught University students in lecture based and practical exams Sourcebooks: Any sourcebooks I have on D&DBeyond will be shared with you to create a character when you are invited to the campaign Rule of Cool & Comedy: I do embrace rule of cool and comedy but still draw a line at a certain point to be able to keep a sense of balance

Homebrew rules

1. Ritual Revival Death is something that means something in this world, if you are being brought back from crossing the other side, your companions must participate in a ritual to bring you or someone back from the brink and this impacts the DC (Difficulty class) of bringing you back 2. Humans automatically pass of natural causes at the age of 94 (This is a custom homebrew regarding lore in my world) so if you're wanting to play an older human just keep this in mind! 3. Rule of cool and comedy I absolutely love pushing this game to it's absolute limits. If it's cool, awesome, funny or lore-eccentric I absolutely will allow something to succeed flawlessly or fail miserably 4. Potions Using a potion as an action provides full healing Using a potion as an action to give to another player provides full healing Using a potion as a bonus action you must roll for the healing 5. We will be using flanking rules (If you're not aware of what this is, that is okay, will provide context in session 0

Safety

How TrontGM creates a safe table

Aftercare: You do not have to stay, but afterwards I and anybody who would like to stick around and chat and decompress after the session, we can do this together Breaks: I usually run my sessions for about 3-4 hours, and will be providing a break about halfway through the session for about 10-20 minutes to decompress Debriefing: If needed, after the session or following a couple days after the session we can collaborate and chat on the things that work well and the bumps we can smooth out together Open Door: You can if needed and without being judged may stop listening or leave without being judged for your own well being if needed or if there is anything you need to discuss with me a private conversation is absolutely possible Session 0: For a proper cohesion and expectations of myself and you, we will be having a session zero regarding rules, safety tools and resources I will provide for you and what to bring to the table for session 1
