About the adventure

In a modern world of knights and cars, wands and flip phones, there’s no better place to study magic than the floating school known as Castle University. Drifting among the mysterious ruins of the ancient world and modern settlements that populate the clouds, this school and its surroundings hold secrets, danger, and something more sinister. A string of disappearances has recently plagued the school, and no one knows who or what is behind it—or who will disappear next. In a Castle High campaign, you’ll play adventurous high schoolers who take magic classes, explore sky islands, and search for their missing friend. Cast spells, wear sneakers, do your homework, play in the clouds, fly for your life, feel like a kid, and search out answers in this romp through the clouds! ~~~ TONE & FEEL Adventurous, Dreamy, Full-Hearted, Melodramatic, Modern, Playful, Thrilling THEMES Coming of Age, Curiosity & Rebellion, Friendship & Loyalty, Magical vs. Modern TOUCHSTONES Kids on Brooms, Kiki’s Delivery Service, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, Little Witch Academia, Onward, The Owl House, She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, Slugblaster

About me

We have all had that moment where we encountered something that sparked our interest in TTRPGs: catching a glimpse of a fantasy cover art, connecting with a heroic character arc in a film, getting caught up in the grand story of a video game – something that inspired us to say “I could do something like that!” For me, that moment came one afternoon ten years ago when, after numerous failed starts, I resolved that if no else was willing to take the DM’s chair, I’d just have to it myself. My whole life had led me to that moment and I haven’t looked back since. My name is J. Lawrence Kenny and in addition to a half decade of Dungeon Mastering, I hold a BFA in Theatre Performance and bring three decades of acting and storytelling experience to my table. Nothing brings me greater joy then when my party cheers, or gasps in horror, or let loose a string of expletives (or any combo of all three!) over a story moment I have spent hours devising just for them. Your characters will be personally tied into whatever is happening - their stories, their goals, will fuel and shape the events of the campaign. And, with a little luck, you will experience a complete character arc with a dramatic and satisfying conclusion…or at least be left with an interesting hook to carry onto the next adventure! At my table you will interact with memorable NPCs, explore unique and expansive worlds, and take center stage in compelling stories that will leave plenty of room for individuality and lateral thinking. Your character will always be the driving force; the underdog overcoming antagonists far beyond their limits, the everyman catapulted onto the stage of grand events, the hero who saves the world. The stories we create together will be far more interesting and fun than the stories we could create alone.
