About the adventure
Ustalav today is known for its misty skies, dark forests, and prevalence of eerie monsters and unsettling events. Not every city and town in Ustalav harbors horrors, but enough of them do to make travelers to this land on edge and leaping at every sudden sound or surprising sight. Grayce was once an idyllic and calm town, a stark contrast to the rest of Ustalav's countryside, but recent weeks have brought change to that notion. Active cryptids, saboteurs, hags and vampires have all set their sights on this locale, and new heroes are needed to save them. Traveling from aways, the characters head towards Grayce to answer the call of adventure, but not before accidentally stumbling into the ruins of an old temple and the dark plot of it's inhabitants. This adventure will play through the events of Secrets of the Unlit Star Beginner Box and Troubles in Grayce, an anthology of smaller adventures. This adventure will begin at level 1 and will proceed through at least level 4, potentially to 5 or 6 depending on how the pacing of the adventures shakes out. The following variant rules will be used: - Ancestry Paragon - Free Archetype - Gradual Ability Boosts

About me
I am experienced game master of 7 years, starting with dungeons and dragons, and then gaining experience with call of cthulhu and pathfinder, my current preferred systems. I love to create and share stories with others, and enjoy working both with players who want to play a game to win, and players who are looking to share a story and get deep into roleplaying.
View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
Character creation will occur during session 0 of the campaign. Players are asked to bring concepts for their characters, including backstory and build. Session 0 will focus on building the characters into the server, determining if any characters already know one another, etc. Practically all ancestries, backgrounds, classes, and feats are available for use, however uncommon and rare options must be approved by the GM first. With the use of the Free Archetype variant rule, the only restriction is that any class dedication and feats (i.e. wizard, champion, witch, etc.) must be taken with your class slots, and not in the Free Archetype slots.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players will need access to Discord, internet, a functioning microphone, and either headphones or earbuds. Sessions will take place in a discord voice call, and will also utilize the in-server chatbox in Foundry to communicate. Cameras are entirely optional.
What Jeriko brings to the table
I will provide a full discord server for the campaign, as well as a fleshed out gaming experience using the wealth of tools provided by Foundry VTT. A number of additional modules will be used to enhance player experience. I will also be recording sessions for uploading to youtube over the course of the campaign.
Homebrew rules
Full list of homebrew rules is available in the discord. Most important one for character building is a restriction on the Free Archetype variant rule - Multiclass dedications and their respective feats must be taken in class feat slots. Free Archetype is meant more for flavor and fleshing out additional aspects of your character's story.

Safety
How Jeriko creates a safe table
All players are welcome at my table, though this campaign assumes that players will have a certain level of experience with the system and rules! Session 0 will go over peoples' lines and veils, and an open dialogue will be kept throughout gameplay. My goal is to ensure that players always feel comfortable in my games, and know that they can come speak with me if they have a problem or something they need to discuss.
