About the adventure
A hundred years ago, the world was louder. The skies burned with wings that could blot out the sun, and the earth trembled beneath the footsteps of gods who still walked amongst mortals. Kingdoms rose and fell in their shadows, for dragons ruled the skies and the gods ruled everything else. When the war finally ended, it did not end quietly. In the final days, something broke the continent itself. Vast earthquakes split the land, valleys collapsed, and entire regions sank into ruin. The old empires that had ruled before the war were reduced to ash and memory. The dragons vanished soon after. Some were slain in the last battles, their colossal bones scattered across the land. Others simply disappeared into myth. 100 years on... The continent trembles. The power vacuum left by the dragons still plagues the land. As tensions rise and kingdoms on the brink of war, famine deepens, and chaos brews across the land. Whispers speak of ancient shadows returning, creatures long believed extinct. Should the rumours prove true, the world may soon change forever. In times like these, ordinary adventurers may shape history itself. Will your story become legend? š”ļø The kingdoms struggle for control. Will you aid them, oppose them, or carve your own path? ā Will you defend the people and bring justice⦠or push the world further toward ruin? š Will your party become the heroes we desperately need? š² May fortune favour your rolls. What to expect? ⤠This is an open-world fantasy sandbox campaign with a strong emphasis on player choice and agency. ⤠Your actions will shape the world and affect the people who live within it. Your decisions carry real weight. ⤠A sweeping narrative of exploration, political tension, and the forgotten lore of ancient titans, while leaving ample space for characters to pursue their own ambitions. ⤠Bring the character youāve always wanted to play, and watch their story evolve throughout the campaign. Your backstory will matter, and Iāll work to weave it into the world and narrative. š° Session 0 is completely free. š A welcoming and inclusive table for players of all backgrounds. Beginners are always welcome, and Iām happy to help guide new players through the game. š š Hope to see you at the table soon!

About me
Hello! Iām Marcus, a UK-based professional Game Master and musician specialising in long-form tabletop RPG campaigns. Over the past five years, I have developed several detailed homebrew settings designed to support rich, character driven stories and immersive worldbuilding. My background in music and film production strongly influences how I run games. I aim to create cinematic, thematic experiences that combine atmosphere, pacing, and narrative depth. Collaboration is at the heart of my tables. I work closely with players to weave their characters into the world so that their choices meaningfully shape the story. I have been playing and running tabletop RPGs since 2018, primarily in Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition. My games focus on strong storytelling, memorable roleplay, and engaging decision making. Players can expect sessions that balance drama, humour, tension, and impactful moments that feel earned through play. Creating an inclusive and welcoming environment is extremely important to me. I strive to ensure that every player feels comfortable, respected, and able to explore their characterās story within a supportive table. Ultimately, my goal is to deliver games that stay with players long after the session ends, stories filled with laughter, suspense, emotional highs, and unforgettable adventures shaped by the group. š³āšLGBTQIA+ Friendly and Beginners welcome. Happy to teach and assist any way I can. š§If you have any questions or would like to join a campaign, feel free to reach out. Iād love to roll some dice together.š§

How Marcus creates a safe table
During Session 0, we will: ⢠Introduce ourselves and get acquainted as a group ⢠Cover the basics of D&D for any new players ⢠Provide an overview of the world, setting, and current events ⢠Discuss table expectations, etiquette, and group dynamics ⢠Review safety tools and establish clear boundaries for the campaign At the end of each session, we will also take a few minutes for a brief check in, where players can share what they enjoyed, offer feedback, and discuss anything that could be improved. To support player comfort and safety, X, N, and O cards will be available digitally and anonymously through Roll 20. Additionally, a consent form will be provided in Discord, allowing players to privately note any themes or topics they would prefer to avoid during the game. These practices help create a respectful, comfortable, and enjoyable environment for everyone at the table.
