About the adventure
🌎 Game Overview For more information, go to the info site! https://www.worldanvil.com/w/new-babylon-wyrddm This campaign follows the lives of licensed adventurers—known as Aces—operating out of the modern city of New Babylon. Portals to other worlds appear without warning. Your team is deployed to: Enter unstable environments Identify the catalyst Eliminate threats Close the portal Inside? Pure fantasy. Outside? Government contracts, payouts, and reputation. ⚠️ The Incident The first portal appeared in international waters. Governments spent too much time arguing over jurisdiction. For 48 hours, nothing happened. Then it changed direction. Monsters came through. That’s all the public knows. 🌐 What You Are A small percentage of humanity awakened as Aces—individuals capable of entering portals and surviving inside them. You grow stronger with every encounter (XP progression) You've gained abilities beyond anything considered normal You fight things that should not exist Outside the portals: You sell recovered materials for profit You build status, wealth… or enemies You decide how far you’re willing to go ☣️ Core Fantasy Reverse Isekai (think Solo Leveling meets GATE) Modern world + dungeon/portal crawling Power growth tied directly to risk Tactical combat + character-driven choices ☠️ Tone & Stakes Get strong. Get rich. Or die inside a place no one else can save you. Retirement is optional. Survival is not.

About me
Hey! Thank you for reading up about me! It is pronounced 'Weird.' *The word "wyrd" comes from the Old English verb meaning "to become," reflecting its role as a shapeshifting, active force. It is not as rigid as the Greek concept of fate; Wyrd is influenced by actions and choices, meaning individuals can impact their own destiny. * This is how I run my games, shifting things around as you make your choices, becoming causality and give you the reactions to your decisions. Now that I've run over 1000 games for a variety of amazing players, let me just say that I love this job. It has become more of a community of awesome people, and I am all about it. To new people looking for a place to land, you can have as much, or as little, social contact as you want. No one will judge. I've played D&D since I was a little geek in a small town in upstate NY. I now live in a medium sized city in Colorado, and I'm a much larger geek. If there is a roleplaying game out there, I've probably tried it. I keep coming back to D&D, though. D&D is home, the rest were places I visited. Nice to meet you! What I provide my players: 🦸 Hero Worship! I am a big fan of your character, perhaps the biggest! I'm not an adversarial DM. In fact, if you demolish an encounter through planning, strategy or just plain luck I will celebrate with you. My goal is for everyone to have fun, and as long as everyone is having a good time I consider that my DM win. 🌄Interesting people, places and things. Even in pre-fab adventures I adjust the maps, rearrange the encounters and create interactions with NPCs that will make them easier to remember. ☔A Safe Place to Play. I understand and adapt to all sorts of 🏳️⚧️genders/🏳️🌈lifestyles/🎖️experiences/🎨neurodivergencies. They/Was? Perfect. Need some time for your second DID personality to get involved? I got you. Old time military gonk with opinions? Sure thing. Keep my games a safe place for others and all are welcome. Heck, I'm also fluent in typo! 🆕 A landing place for new players. I will take all the time you need to help you learn and find your pace with us. I have never met a player who wasn't super amazing with newer players as well. Be comfortable playing with us. 🗨️ A discord server for your game where you can journal, chat and be social with the other players. 📖 Consistent rules (optional and otherwise) that have been put into place after long discussions with players and other DMs. You will always know where you stand with me. I do NOT mind 🎣, however. If you want to try something new, toss that cheeto on a hook and see if I bite. ⬆️ I update my game accounts often, and you'll have access to my books on my Beyond and all the rules in roll20. I attempt to maintain a large library as well, putting some of the money I make into purchasing new books every month.

What to expect
Preparing for the session
◆To ensure compatibility, applicants should be prepared to meet with the DM prior to being invited to join the game. This helps to ensure that everyone is a good fit for both the group and the table ◆Discord is necessary, as well as a good working mic. Beyond is needed to create characters, but we play on Foundry with all the bells and whistles. ◆Be prepared to work as part of a group - no lone wolves please.
What Wyrd brings to the table
Expect to have some great focused combats, but there will be politics and many chances for RP as well! I use ambient music and character voices to create the right atmosphere. Foundry pulls it all together, making it an experience. I bring thousands of hours of experience with the system, updated maps, and my beyond will be shared so you'll have access to my library as well.
Homebrew rules
Only one real change from the rules - Critical fails only happen when you have disadvantage ,but all d20 rolls are subject to this rule.

How Wyrd creates a safe table
A safe space to play is of utmost importance to me. We'll be going over Lines and Veils, and the card system is always available. We'll be touching on some sensitive subjects during the campaign, but we'll handle them maturely.
