About the adventure
🫢 Orcs, Cultists, and Secret Societies 😈 Fight demons, giant spiders, and a basilisk ⚱️Delve into dungeons seeking treasure 🗿Assemble the pieces of a broken statue Welcome to the Misty Vale, a fog-shrouded region of the world teaming with ancient ruins, legendary treasures, and demonic forces. You'll take on the role of adventurers who've been drawn in by these legends in hopes of finding wealth and glory. Dragonbane is a classic fantasy tabletop roleplaying game full of magic, mystery, and adventure. It is designed from the ground up to facilitate fast and furious play. Dragonbane can be brutal, with unpredictable monsters and deadly challenges to threaten even veteran adventures, with a sprinkling of vibrant silliness to keep the laughs and good times rolling. Avaricious dragons war with ancient demons, orcs and goblins threaten the Misty Vale, and one of your allies in this fight is an anthropomorphic duck. If you're coming to Dragonbane from another fantasy game, you'll find it familiar enough to catch on quick, but with a delightful twist of both darkness and humor that will make it feel unique.

What Mike_d20 brings to the table
Using the tools on Alchemy this campaign will be filled with cinematics in the form of visual and audio enhancements and aids. Ambiance, battle music, animated scenes. I see tabletop games as a great opportunity for catharsis. We're here for different reasons maybe to learn something about ourselves, turn flaws into strengths, explore new aspects of yourself, or just escape from your daily struggles for a while. Whatever that is for you, I want to help bring it out in this space and have a good time while we do it.
