About the adventure

You've arrived just in time. The island of Yerova - long thought to be nothing more than a myth - has emerged from the sea. The Lifeblood, its precious and mysterious resource, has become the most prized commodity in all the planescape. Factions from across the lands lay their claims to Yerova and state their case for the future of Lifeblood, a struggle that will undoubtedly shape the new era to come. Perhaps one of their paths is just. Perhaps something else entirely stirs beneath... Will you choose a side? Make your fortune? Learn the truth? Decide quickly. There's not a moment to lose. Enter the living, breathing, ever-expanding world of Eös: a shared campaign world filled with history and characters made through past player choices. This pseudo-sandbox campaign takes place thirty years after the appearance of Yerova. Your characters could be traveling to this land for any number of reasons: power, glory, riches, altruism, or pure curiosity. As you arrive, you'll find several factions at work, all with their own unique perspectives and goals. Events will transpire around you as the mysteries and conflicts of Yerova unfold - it's up to you how you engage with them. Free session zero!

About me

I'm a lifetime thespian, fantasy nerd, and videogame connoisseur - which made D&D the perfect nexus point of my passions and skills! I've been running D&D 5e for the last ten years, completing multiple campaigns that have run from six months to over two years. I run games in my homebrew world Eös: an ever-evolving tapestry of stories from previous campaigns built upon each other, with legends and lore constantly being added by new players! The collaborative nature of storytelling in TTRPGS is what keeps me coming back, so if you're ready to leave your mark and create something extraordinary together, let's play!

Character creation

Creating your character

There will be a free session zero Discord call to help players with the creation process! I will have more detailed lore and character prompts to help flesh out your backstory. Starting level will depend on the mix of newer versus veteran players (likely lvl 3 - 5). Players can choose to roll stats or do standard distribution. Homebrew or third party content allowed with DM approval.

What to expect

Preparing for the session

Players will need Discord, dice (online dice are fine), headset/microphone, and preferably a webcam (but not required). Players will get to choose artwork for their character token. Maps will be screen shared on Discord to keep the game moving at a fun pace without getting bogged down in tech.

What Kevin brings to the table

You can trust that my table will always be immersive, engaging, and rewarding. I use a Discord bot to play appropriate music for the situation, will always look for opportunities to challenge and excite, and will put on the best performances I can while keeping the spotlights on you!
