About the adventure
The defeat of the Chroma Conclave and the banishment of Vecna has breathed new life into Tal'Dorei. Cities and settlements are bustling once more, slowly returning to life as they knew before a time of strife. Although the known evils are defeated, there are still threats that linger from that brutal zeitgeist in Exandria's history. Thordak's wound in Emon refuses to close, and that has led to the instability that has given rise to many new underground criminal organizations that are ready to capitalize on this in a major way. If that wasn't enough, there are also whispers to the South that tell tales of a recently unearthed aspect of the Primordials that is ripe for terrifying weaponization by all the wrong factions. Many adventurers have taken up the call to aid the Council of Tal'dorei in trying to address these matters and set them straight. Are you such adventurers, or do you forge your own path? That choice is yours to make as you traverse the storied lands of Tal'dorei and encounter the many people โ good, bad and middling โ that call this vibrant continent their home. โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ System: D&D 5e 2024 Campaign Expectations: High Survival, High Roleplay, Fantasy/Gritty Fantasy, Narrative Immersion. Themes: Exploration, Survival, Community, Fantasy, Social Intrigue, Political Intrigue. LGBTQIA+ Inclusive! ๐ณ๏ธโ๐๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ GM's Note: Hello adventurer, and welcome to my fifth campaign set in the world of Exandria! This is very much a narrative-first, roleplay and mystery focused, and political intrigue heavy game that will be catered specifically to those who need to get their fill of collaborative storytelling, intense mystery and immersion with the feel of a traditional DND5e game/campaign. If you are a minmaxer or have tendencies to play murder hobos, this is NOT the game for you. There is definitely some room for optimized play as long as you can make it work within the narrative, and as long as your character has motives, flaws, quirks, likes, dislikes, and such โ things that make them a complete and multifaceted individual! Having said that, all character decisions are entirely yours to make and I trust my players, new and returning, to know what they want to play and how to make it work within the vision and with the feel of the campaign! Much of what you can expect from me as a GM will be listed elsewhere, but at the center of my philosophy is a need to make players at the table comfortable and immersed, while keeping them on their toes within the story! I hope to see you at my table, and thank you for choosing to join this campaign! Cheers, Ajna โก

About me
An organized and intuitive story-teller with over 4 years of experience in GMing varied kinds of TTRPGs - including but not limited to DND, Daggerheart and the Good Society TTRPG. As your GM/DM/Storyteller, this is what you can expect from any of my tables: โก ๐๐๐ซ๐ซ๐๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐ ๐๐ฆ๐ฆ๐๐ซ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ๐ง: By appropriate use of ambient music, narrative indicators and engaging storytelling, I make my "theater of the mind" games come to life with my own personal flourishes. โก ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ญ๐ฆ๐จ๐ฌ๐ฉ๐ก๐๐ซ๐: As an asexual woman of colour, it is increasingly important to me that my tables reflect my continued drive to make TTRPGs a safe environment within which anyone can thrive and enjoy, no matter what their background or orientation is. I aim always to uphold a golden standard of table etiquette in all of my games. โก ๐๐ฅ๐๐ฒ๐๐ซ-๐ ๐ข๐ซ๐ฌ๐ญ ๐๐๐ง๐ญ๐๐ฅ๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ: Another one of my crucial focuses in any game is the willingness to deliver a very player-driven experience. All of the adventures I run are exploration heavy, with the onus of it on the players and their wishes! Every adventure is tailor-made for the general energy and vibe of the group, as well as everyone's individual and collective goals. โก ๐๐๐ฅ๐๐ง๐๐๐ ๐๐ญ๐๐ญ๐ ๐จ๐ ๐๐ฅ๐๐ฒ: Though my games boast being roleplay-driven, they are not lacking in tactical or crunchy play and heavy combat scenarios. I take great care to deliver a balanced game that will suit the needs of every player in the party, and my versatile GMing style allows for such flexibility. โก ๐ ๐๐จ๐ฎ๐๐ก ๐จ๐ ๐๐ซ๐๐ฆ๐: Needless to say, I am influenced quite a lot by online live play GMs and their styles, chief among them being Brennan Lee Mulligan and Matthew Mercer. I draw a lot of inspiration from their approach to TTRPGs as well as the examples they set in their many campaigns, and I always strive to make the narrative experience something for all of my players to remember. I try my best to weave in humanistic and philosophical elements into my stories, with dramatic flairs that I have always loved to incorporate! โก ๐๐จ๐ฆ๐๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ ๐จ๐ซ ๐๐ฏ๐๐ซ๐ฒ๐จ๐ง๐: As an inclusive GM, I try and cover a whole spectrum of topics. Everyone is welcome at my table: whether you're a complete novice or a seasoned player, you will find something to enjoy about my games. Whether you're here just to have fun or you want a serious and dramatic roleplay/narrative experience, or you want tough and dynamic combat that you really need to think on your feet to get through successfully โ my games are the place for you! More than anything, I find satisfaction from my work here when you, the player, have simply had a marvelous time and have left each session with a sense of wanting more! So, I hope you ๐๐ answer the call for adventurers and join one of my games โ and let's have a great time telling some riveting stories! ( P.S.: Credit for Icon Art goes to @ShionsLife. )

Creating your character
We will create our characters in the Session 0 that will happen before our campaign begins. Before that, please think of character concepts that fit narratively with 1) the setting, and 2) the rest of your party. We will be using 2024 core rules! Any other books or sources used outside of the officially published ones will need approval from me.
The current party, as it stands, consists of a Monk, Warlock, Fighter, and a Wizard. We are at Level 1, at the gates of Emon. Since it is incredibly early-adventure, you'll be getting in at the ground level of the group and will have the best chances to form narratively cohesive bonds with the other characters and have it explored over time. Thank you, and I'll see you at the table! :)
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Even before Session 0, you should have accounts in these following software services and sites: Discord (free) Roll20 (free) Syrinscape (free) Once done, you will be invited to join me on discord, and a community server of about 80 welcoming people (all players from my other campaigns and one shots!)
What Ajna brings to the table
Ambient music, memorable character voices (as best as is possible), free 5E character sheets, elaborate battle maps, a Roll20 Plus game server that will have a few bells and whistles, vivid narrative descriptions, RPG safety tools, and a great deal of mystery. As some of the reviews have said, I adopt a "player friendly" mentality, and at any point of time within the campaign, your continued collective fun is my top priority. I never give my players anything in game that their characters cannot handle, and I ALWAYS ensure that everyone is on the same page about boundaries, lines, veils, and general player safety.

How Ajna creates a safe table
At the start of any campaign, I implore the party to set up boundaries and share them with the table, and I invite them to read the "table etiquette" channel that I have expressly set up to ensure that everyone gets a fair comprehension of what one may be able to expect from my table, and what I expect from them. I also link people to the deck of player safety, so that they don't need to feel put on the spot and they may anonymously turn in any hard line boundaries they may have for subject matters in this campaign. This is how I ensure player safety and comfort above all else.
