About the adventure
A remote village sits on the edge of something unseen. Days ago, someone who had been buried returned—alive, but not whole. Since then, the land has begun to unravel. Animals flee. Shadows move out of sync. People hear voices that sound like their own, calling from empty spaces. The villagers are divided. Some believe this is a miracle. Others whisper that something followed the soul back. A few have already vanished. You are called to investigate, but the deeper you go, the less stable things become. The path shifts. Time feels uneven. The truth waits at a forgotten shrine where an ancient ritual once bound life and death together. At the center of it all is the Returned Soul—caught between existence and absence, pulling the world apart with every moment it remains. You must decide what to do: release it, save it, or use what it has become. But whatever choice you make… something will answer.

About me
Hi :) I've been GMing for about two years and I absolutely love it. I've been playing TTRPG's for almost three years. I started with DnD5e and have since branched out and have tried other TTRPG's. I'm silly, energetic, and I love teaching so it's okay if you aren't the most familiar with the system I'm running. I try my best to create a safe and fun environment for my players as well as myself :) I have a YouTube channel you can check out to get a better feel for my personality :) I do TTRPG's reviews and lots of solo playthroughs using my favorite systems.

Creating your character
No limitations on how you create your character so Homebrew characters are welcome :) Please provide me with your character at least 2-3 days before game day. We will create level 5 characters.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
We will use the Discord app for text and voice chat. Our VTT will be Roll20 which we'll access through the browser.
What Coach Key brings to the table
- I try to stick as close to the rules as written but will make a ruling and look it up later to in order to not stop the game flow. - I'm patient & will try to make create a safe and fun environment for everyone involved. - Open doors, always feel free to reach out to me during or outside of the game if anything or anyone is making you feel uncomfortable. - I sometimes use voices and I ABSOLUTELY love being a Game Master :) -I can teach you along the way if this is your first time playing DND.
