About the adventure
THE PRICE OF HEROISM is a Dungeons & Dragons campaign with a sandbox feel, with a story that will largely be dictated by actions taken by the players and their corresponding reactions. The game will be an exploration of what it takes to be a hero in a world that has largely forgotten what that means. Set in the homebrew world of Ionndrainn, this campaign is going to start off in a low magic environment. In this world, people have forgotten the Gods and instead worship more palpable elements like The Sun, The Earth and even The Gold. Magic has been deconstructed for generations and most of the fantastical effects that came from it can be replicated through technology. With time, players may uncover the truths of this world, and the level of magic present might increase drastically. This campaign is open to all, from newcomers to the hobby to TTRPG veterans.

About me
Hello there! I’m Simão, a Portuguese actor and professional Game Master. I have been playing TTRPGs since 2017, and I have led many projects and initiatives with the goal of opening up the hobby and community. I am very passionate about telling stories as a group. The element of collaborative storytelling is what pulled me in to TTRPGs in the first place and I feel very confident about my ability to guide players into the best version of the stories they want to tell.

Creating your character
Characters should be created at level 1 using the Roll for Stats method. It's okay for characters to be conceptualised before session 0, but be open for things to change as ideas bounce around the table during that session.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You will need a Discord and D&D Beyond accounts.
What Simão Vaz brings to the table
During play, you can expect ambient music and, when called for, reference images of the scene being played out. Each character will have their voice and accent, making it easier for players to know who is addressing them. I will also be providing images and artwork for said characters when available. All the images showed in my games are strictly non-AI made.
Homebrew rules
Homebrew rules will be discussed during session 0.

How Simão Vaz creates a safe table
During session 0 we will discuss campaign expectations as well as our Lines and Veils. During play you can expect an open door policy as well as a scheduled break roughly at the 90 minute/2 hour mark. There will also be an X Card policy. After every session we will have some debrief and decompression, as well as an opportunity to do Stars and Wishes.
