About the adventure
# Advanced Players A game for advanced players that are fans of problem solving, challenging combat and puzzling story telling. The game is designed in mind for the type of player that wants to give weight to their characters decisions with gritty circumstances. This game is NOT for novices or people that barely have a grasp of the game, regardless, everyone is still welcome to learn and play. # Low Magic The setting is a Low magic gritty medieval fantasy taking inspiration from works such as Game of Thrones and The Witcher. As such Full spellcasters are limited. The Bard, Sorcerer and Warlock are not available choices and there can only be one Druid, Cleric or Wizard per group. New classes have been added to offset the lack of Martial, Gunslinger Pugilist and Monster Hunter have been added to the available classes. # Race/Species Options Available - Goliath - Human - Halfling - Reborn # Dangerous Magic Magic is Taboo, extremely rare and hard to master. Magic itself is dangerous to cast, very few can wield it and even fewer live long enough to master it as they may fall to corruption, mutation or other dark forces.

About me
> Experience: 7 years playing 5e > Anime Like Style: I use anime troupes and artwork to give a more cute, likable and/or familiar look to my campaings. > Campaign Focus: it depends on the party’s desires I will focus on either Roleplaying or Combat, their will always a small bit of the other though. > Sourcebooks: I allow all Sourcebook material from Player’s Handbook to Dragonlance, I only permit D&D one, Kickstarters, UA or homebrew that have passed prior inspection. I might not allow certain material due to setting reasons but those cases are specific cases. > Gelatinous Noob Friendly: I encourage new players and teach them the ropes around and even make or help making characters for them. Please refer to my Terms of Service for the official rules and to House rules for a list of all my personal Homebrew of the game. “Your character sheets will make a fine addition to my collection, muahahahaha!” - Smug the Dwagon
