About the adventure
Welcome to the world of Ethendria, scarred by the Ironroot War—thirty years of brutal conflict between the elven nation of Palintil and the dwarven holds of Igbor. What began over mineral-rich mountains erupted into total war: elven storms of lightning against dwarven flame cannons and tunneling machines. Forests burned. Mountains collapsed. By 600 A.C.E., both sides stood ruined. The Stoneleaf Treaty ended the bloodshed, decreeing eternal separation. Borders closed. All contact severed. For one year, the "Cold Silence" has held. But peace is a fragile lie. Palintil is a land of fading glory. Its capital, Muindor, is a city of crystal spires and living wood, still bearing the scars of war. The Council of Elven Rulers have been trying to hold the peace, but the nation is fractured. Young elves chafe under isolation, whispering of reclaiming lost pride. Elders cling to the treaty, terrified of another war. The anniversary of the treaty approaches—a solemn ritual meant to heal the nation. You are not a hero. Not yet. You might be a young soldier, a scarred veteran, a foreign merchant, or a scholar of forbidden lore. You may not even be an elf yourself. However the call to adventure is strong, and the nation is plump with opportunity. Will you answer it, dear adventurer?

About me
Howdy partners! My name is Anthony also known as Papa (or Papa Anthony). I have been playing DnD for many years and have many one shots as well as a couple of campaigns under my tunic! I am in the Mental Health field when I am not running or playing games at the table, and have a beautiful wife and son that I enjoy immensely. I am an ally to all except those who disrespect and discriminate against others based on race, gender/gender non conforming, spiritual beliefs, and/or sexual preference(s). Hate is not allowed at my tables and I have a zero tolerance policy. My tables are meant to be a safe haven in a world that has been (and continuous to be) not kind. I love telling stories and love having other wonderfully special folks like you help me tell them! Let's amplify joy and kindness together, shall we? Love, Your TTRPG Papa.
View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
Character creation can be done via standard array, point buy, or by rolling.: [Roll four six-sided dice (4d6). Remove the lowest number. Add the remaining three dice together. Repeat this process 6 times, then assign the 6 resulting numbers to your ability scores as you see fit] Each character gets a free level one feat, and one uncommon magic item. Since this is set in my homebrew world of Ethendria, we can get as creative as you'd like with your character! World lore and information will be made available in my discord.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
We will be using DnD Beyond for virtual character sheets and Roll20 for our virtual table top (VTT). We will meet virtually on my Discord for sessions. Cameras on preferred but not mandatory (I know some folks don't like to be on camera and I want to respect that!) Players will have to have a free account to each. Character creation can happen before session 0 and I can be made available to help anyone who needs it!
What Papa Anthony brings to the table
I will be providing in depth session music via Kenku FM, as well as any and all source material needed for character/world building needs. This will be a heavy RP campaign, however still with enough combat to sate those who thrive in the fight! DnD 2014 rules will be used, with exception of healing spells - please use 2024 version. Any other 2024 spells may be allowed with a check in with me first.
Homebrew rules
I have a few homebrew rules that I outline on my Discord however here are a few: * Potions can be bonus action or action. If action used you get max healing. if bonus action, you roll for the healing. * Flanking: Flanking requires two allies - You and at least one ally must be positioned on opposite sides of the target creature. Opposite sides or corners: This means there must be a straight line between the two creatures through the target. Melee attacks only: Flanking only grants advantage on melee attack rolls, not ranged attacks. * Micro DM: Once per campaign, A player can manifest one thing to happen into the scene. The player must describe it, in full, to the DM. The DM will then decide what kind of roll & the DC of the roll. * There are two more in depth homebrew systems I have in place: Papa's Token System & Skill/Feat Learning. They are on my discord to read once you have signed up for the adveture.
