About the adventure

In the world of Saelunere, the forces of light and dark are pitted against each other in an unending war for dominance. For you, it's your first day at the office. A fun, action-packed, cinematic adventure designed to grow and build characters from the start of their heroic (or otherwise) journey. You'll start as a classic adventuring party taking their first job in a rich homebrew world full of lore and mystery - or perhaps just full of treasure to stuff your pockets. Will you quest to protect the common people, set your sites on overthrowing evil empires, discover ancient divine mysteries or just grow your fame and line your pockets for the highest bidder? ⚔️ Sword and Sorcery! 🪙 Find a patron or branch out on your own! 📜 Discover secrets in a dynamic world! A flexible length campaign that has the potential to be long-term, including a free Session 0 where we will tailor the campaign to the preferred playstyle of the table.

About me

I'm a forever DM that has been running games for around 10 years. I mainly focus on DND 5E, but i've dabbled in various other TTRPG systems. I'm passionate about teaching the game and love starting new campaigns and one-shots with brand new players to get them started. My style is rule of cool, fun first and rules light, so don't be afraid if you've never touched a TTRPG before, we'll make it work!

Character creation

Creating your character

We'll work on character creation during the Session 0 - If you've never made a character before I'm happy to go through everything step by step! But you're welcome to bring ideas or pre-made characters using the DND 5e 2024 edition rules if you prefer. Homebrew and custom classes are welcome too, and I'll be happy to go through those with you to make sure they work in the context of the world and the game overall! Character's will start at level 3, representing characters that have some experience in the wider world but have yet to really sink their teeth into true adventuring.

What to expect

Preparing for the session

We'll coordinate everything through a Discord server, Roll20 is optional to use it to create character sheets if you wish, but DND Beyond and other similar programs will also be fine to use. The game will be played in a Discord call with webcams preferred to help the flow of the game!

What Krimson brings to the table

This campaign is intended to be a fun, fantasy adventure, with classic fantasy tropes and vibes. Whilst we should always ready to take serious beats when appropriate, the majority of the game will be less serious and more about fun and flexibility. This is a theatre of the mind game - That means there won't be battle maps or a grid system for tactical combat. I prefer this as it gives a lot of flexibility for players and the DM on when and where combat can occur, and how you can react. I also highly embrace the Rule of Cool! I love imaginative moves, crazy ideas and doing things for the pure fun of it, rather than the most optimal thing.
