About the adventure
A Level 6 One-Shot Step right up, step right in, Where laughter rings and lights begin! Where silks are bright and songs take flight, And wonder dances day to night! The Fair Feyfair Fey-Fare Extraordinaire is here A grand celebration held once a year! With games to play and prizes to win, Sweet treats to taste and secrets within! Steel Drakes: You’ve been hired. The Steel Drakes have been quietly commissioned by Feyfair’s head of security to lend a hand during this year’s festivities. Nothing dangerous. Just extra eyes, a steady presence, and a bit of peace of mind. After all… a few guards and volunteers have gone missing in the days leading up to the fair. Probably nothing. Sickness, off on holiday, or something like that, right? Still, the job pays well. And comes with full access to the fair. So enjoy the games. Take in the sights. Lose yourself in the celebration. Just keep your eyes on the fringes. Because behind the laughter… Behind the lights… Something is watching. It could be nothing. It could be something. But before the night is through... The fair may demand more than applause. Players can expect: - Roleplay Heavy NPCs and Encounters - Tonal Shifts - Choice and Consequence

About me
Hello, everyone! I have run several games spanning about 5 years and ranging from DnD5e/5.5e to homemade TTRPGs with my family, friends, and kids. I have never found a medium quite like TTRPGs and believe it is the ultimate storytelling and gaming experience that's out there. The way it can bring together folks from all walks of life to tell a story unique, interesting, fun and heartbreaking all at once is nothing less than narrative magic. I hope to bring my character central gameplay to those interested in a story focused environment where we can experience the magic DnD has to offer. Options for Family friendly environment available as well. Your first session with me is free! Please message me to secure your free session.

What Killiyan brings to the table
As a GM, it is my job to ensure that you are enjoying the game as a whole. With the structure of the rules as a guide and the freedom of leaning into Rule of Cool if necessary, I attempt to create engaging and satisfying gameplay. I typically run a more serious game, but laughter and humor have a firm place no matter the stakes of the world. Sometimes you will trip and fall on your face, and it will be hilarious. Key Points: -Roleplay is needed to experience the game to its fullest. Whether you explain your characters actions in third-person, voice a line or two here and there, or come complete with a special voice and character accurate quips, it is all accepted and encouraged. -Combat will feel dangerous and threatening most of the time with later levels having chances of being "EZPZ". Strategy has its place but active combat is quick; 6 seconds of time translated into 1 round of turns. There's no time to ask your party what to do once combat is rolling! -Table conversation vs. Above-table conversation: EVERYTHING you say is assumed to be coming from your character. Emergencies and special circumstances aside, you are expected to be "in the game" and any extra conversation can be had before or after session time. This helps keep things immersed in the world and story special to your character. Questions and New Player Experience are an exemption to this. Simply stating, "Above-table..." before asking a question of rules, adjudications, or mechanical questions is perfectly fine and acceptable. Example: "Above-table, am I able to do XYZ in this situation?" Logistics: We will run our game on Roll20 and DnD Beyond. Discussion will be had in discord on topics such as attendance, character creation, and more. Fixed level One-Shot | Ambient Music | Player Story | Intense Combat
Homebrew rules
Critical Hits When you score a critical hit, you deal maximum damage for the weapon plus an additional normal roll of weapon damage. Any additional damage types (Sneak Attack, Smite, elemental effects, etc.) are rolled normally but still get the extra dice for said damage roll. Example: Longsword Weapon attack = 1d8 + 4 Critical hit = 8 (max) + 1d8 + 4 A Paladin crits with a longsword and uses Divine Smite 2nd level (normally 3d8 radiant). On the crit, you would roll 8 (max) + 1d8 (weapon) + 4 + 6d8 (smite). Potions of Healing Drinking a potion as a bonus action heals as normal—roll the dice. Drinking a potion as an action gives maximum healing—no roll. Example: Potion of Healing (2d4 + 2): Bonus Action = Roll 2d4 + 2 Action = Heal for 10 HP (max)

Safety
How Killiyan creates a safe table
Every session will have allotted times to discuss things in the Stars and Wishes format as well as any outright concerns. This will be before and after the session. If concerns arise mid-session, each player is able to request a break to discuss, reach out through direct messages on discord, or voice concerns in the campaign chat; all without scrutiny. I will do my best to create an enjoyable environment that is both thrilling and irl safe. Feedback is strongly encouraged!
