About the adventure
This mini campaign is set on Prison Planet Xorvath, a homebrew world where criminals, outcasts, and the condemned are banished by the Powers That Be to live out the rest of their days. Some convicts keep to themselves, trying to build quiet lives in the dust. Others chase power, territory, and whatever resources they can take. But Xorvath is no ordinary frontier. This prison planet isn’t just filled with rattlesnakes and coyotes. Some of the most dangerous creatures in the galaxy have been left here too. ~~ This is a 10-session mini campaign where you and the other PCs will stumble across a large hoard of gold. That kind of wealth can change your life. It can also get you killed. Will you survive long enough to enjoy your share, or will you pay for this gold with your lives? Saddle up & I'll see you in the West!

About me
Greetings, I'm Cake! I'm your easy going facilitator of both in-person and online quests in D&D, Daggerheart, & Call of Cthulhu. I've been a storyteller my whole life, but about six years ago I fell in love with the TTRPG medium & I haven't looked back! The art of creating adventures and crafting stories has captivated me since my childhood & now that I've found TTRPGS, these wild ideas have been evolving into handcrafted memorable campaigns. I like to blend fantasy, horror, & humor into a a few hours of gaming where we can just sink into our characters & experience their scenes together. Shared storytelling is one of my favorite things about TTRPGs, as a DM, I set up the world & you knock it down, sometimes literally... Join me on our collective journey through thrilling escapades, where laughter, challenges, and unforeseen surprises await. Together, we'll co-create stories and forge memories to live in our hearts forever.

Creating your character
Character Sheets will be built together during Session 0.5 in Roll20 Stats will be rolled together in our Session 0.5 - 4d6 Drop the Lowest Species, Subclasses, Spells, & Backgrounds will all be 2024. Any 3rd Party content or 2014 Species will need to be discussed with me prior please. ~ What did you do to get sentenced here? Think about your crimes, the people you hurt, & the people you left behind & how that factors into who you are now. If you're wanting to play an EVIL aligned character, that's ok with me, as long as the rest of the players are aware of this & you don't take harmful action against the party.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
All you'll need is a Roll20 & Discord account.
What Cake brings to the table
I'll be providing custom maps, character tokens, tone setting music, engaging NPCs, deep lore if you wish to follow it, my best attempt at voices, challenging combat, & roleplay supporting moments.
Homebrew rules
Death Saves are Whispered to me. After 3 Successes you regain 1 hp. Medicine Check to stabilize a downed ally: - A critical success revives their target with 1 hit point. - Rolling 15 or above stabilizes them. - Rolling 10 or above counts as a successful death saving throw. - Rolling below 10 has no effect, but a critical failure counts as a failed death saving throw. Help Action: Proficiency in the skill is necessary in order to grant advantage via the Help Action to others. Inspiration: You can bank as many Points of Inspiration as you earn, however only one can be spent on a Roll & Inspiration cannot be shared between Players. Flanking: When a creature is attacked on two opposite sides (at a 180 degrees), it becomes off-guard and its AC is lowered by 1, unless it has unusual characteristics to overcome this like additional eyes/heads or blindsight. As a Note, this will be the same for PCs as well.

How Cake creates a safe table
We'll have a Session 0.5 where we'll go over Line & Veils & get to know each other. After that, we'll openly talk about the setting & the campaign in general. Then we'll discuss our character ideas & see if there are any Bonds that can be made between the PCs. We'll Roll for stats & then start building our characters on Roll20! We'll take a quick 10 min. break & then come back for the 2nd half where we'll jump right into the game. You'll get to play as your characters & get a feel for them in a short scenario & combat.
