About the adventure
The valley is a powder keg. The dragons just struck the match. A cold wind blows down from the Basilisk’s Spine, across a frontier where old grudges have survived longer than kingdoms. The Anorians, an ancient people driven from the Amber Forest, have traded their wands for guns, their undead armies for cattle, and generations of anger for mournful songs. Across the Vaskil River, the Roe’dgope, a secretive people of werelynxes, have guarded their ancestral lands for centuries. Now something has driven them out. Wyverns have returned to Vaskil Valley. And upon their backs ride mysterious, dark-armored aberrations known only as the Wyvern Kings. Forced eastward by the invasion, the Roe’dgope are crossing into Anorian territory, reigniting an ancient rivalry at the worst possible moment. Human settlements are growing restless. Old hatreds are resurfacing. Refugees crowd the roads. Rumors spread faster than bullets. And the wealthy Mydon Princes of Presson’s Enclave, the supposed rulers of the valley? They are far too occupied with their feasts, rivalries, and lavish estates to care. For now. Vaskil Valley: Wrath of the Wyvern Kings is a D&D campaign of frontier adventure, political unrest, dangerous wilderness, cultural conflict, gunslinging fantasy, lycanthropes, wyvern riders, and choices capable of reshaping an entire region. Expect a world where alliances matter, factions have their own agendas, and today’s enemy may be the only thing standing beside you when something worse comes over the mountains. The valley is already smoldering. When it finally burns, what will you fight to save?

About me
Hi! I’m Moses, and I use she/they pronouns. I have a Ph.D. in English, 10 years of teaching experience, and a love for games that feel personal, emotional, and alive. I run D&D 5e, both 2014 and 2024 rules, Deathmatch Island, and other story-focused TTRPGs. My tables are collaborative and character-driven, with room for dramatic choices, messy plans, emotional reveals, and the kind of chaos only players can create. I like building worlds that respond to what the party does, not forcing everyone through a pre-written script. New players are very welcome, and veterans will still have plenty to dig into. I care about clear guidance, player agency, open communication, safety tools, and making sure everyone gets a chance to matter. Come tell a story with me. We’ll make it weird, heartfelt, dramatic, funny, and worth remembering.

Creating your character
🔸 Each player will start by deciding on a Level 1 character. 🔹 It is optional for players to have their characters prepared beforehand, as instructions and guidance will be shared on our Discord channel. 🔸 Players will delve into choosing races, classes, and backgrounds that shape their character's story, abilities, and alignment. 🔹 Special attention will be given to the character's unique traits, such as their name, appearance, and personal goals, which will be discussed during and before our first session.

Safety
How Moses creates a safe table
Themes such as violence, psychological elements, and mature content may be present but will be tailored to your comfort levels. Certain subjects like sexual assault, harm to children, and harm to domestic animals will never be explicitly described in our games. During our first session, we'll discuss safety tools and content preferences. I adhere to a strict policy against discrimination (sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia, etc.) and aim to create a respectful and safe environment for all players. Feel free to reach out with any concerns or requests!
