About the adventure

Magnates Yukir La'viande and Ak'eon Ni'hrwin, the twin god and monarchs of Ni'hrwin, users of the divine magics as granted by the greater gods, ruled perfectly in harmony over their two halves of Viran. One day, a report was filed within the Knights Vulturian, the royal guard of the La'viande bloodline: somehow a commoner became capable of and learned Ak'eon's magic. It seemed to be a mistake, at first. Punishment would be dealt, but she is just a hatchling, she would live. That was before the sea began to run black Souls burst from bodies People started going mad Magnate La'viande sent the high knights of the order vulturian to swiftly dispatch the mad queen. You found the Knight Protectorate's head halfway through a wall. The world has gotten worse, trees twist and writhe, unholy magic spreading, and all that is left is you. A group of thanes, lowly in rank but glorious in potential, knowing if you fail Viran shall die and Lord La'viande will assuredly know pain. The Goddess Ak'eon must die. You have 96 hours. May the lord's song grant you the time.

About me

Hello, my name is Storm! I'm an aspiring writer/director, actor, programmer for Space Station 14, linguist, and guitarist! Amongst my accomplishments, I have the honor of being the current president of Arizona State University's ttrpg club, Adventurers Wanted, as well as the founder and former president of the Campo Verde High School Adventurer's Guild. I have lettered four times in drama at my highschool, and won best supporting actor for my performance as Orcus in She Kills Monsters Young Adventurer's Edition. I have been running and playing tabletop rpgs for about as long as I can remember, since about fifth grade? Its been a long journey from then to now, but I'm looking forward to taking this next leap as a Game Master! My interests include giant robots, psychological horror, dragons, magic, retro video games, book-collecting, worldbuilding, boardgames, and shoegaze music.

Character creation

Creating your character

Character Creation will be done prior to the first session, with all characters starting at level 5 and being early members of the Order Vulturian, the personal divine guard of Yukir La'viande, Magnate Vidoria of half the known world and king of the nation of Delia. Character creation will be handled using the 2024 rules, however 2014 content is perfectly acceptable. Recommended classes: Cleric Paladin Bard Fighter these fit the theme/setting most but I'm not your mom, if you have a cool idea send it to me and we'll make it work. The setting is flintlock fantasy, so the gunslinger fighter subclass is allowed as well as artificers. If you have an idea and you don't know if it will fit, ask me/send it to me I'll at worst tweak it for balance and let you use it assuming the flavor works.

What to expect

Preparing for the session

You will require a microphone, discord account, and will be handling characters online via Foundryvtt

What draconicSeamstress brings to the table

I do accents, voices, ambient music, and the occasional piece of commissioned art! For this campaign we will be doing tactical combat with hexes, very very rule of cool my intent is to tell a cool story here! I will say the rules as I've presented are quite deadly and there is a time-limit, take your time and be careful!

Homebrew rules

I utilize some 2014 optional rules such as system shock and mortal wounds. I will also have a sanity mechanic. Additionally, I will be running with a custom magic system that is a tad more freeform. Don't worry, you can still cast the spells you love!

Safety

How draconicSeamstress creates a safe table

Before the game I will send a checklist of dos and don'ts, then anonymize them and compile into a document to be used so that other players don't step on those boundaries without outing anyone's fears or anything! I also hold snack breaks roughly mid-session and have a general open-door policy towards the game.
