About the adventure

The Campaign is set in my homebrew world, a High fantasy world where most countries are ruled by powerful magical creatures(Like feylords, minor demigods, Dragons, Vampires and Liches), the poles are gates to the equivalent of the hells(in the north) and the abyss(in the south) and the hemispheres spin in opposite directions, separated by a central river. The entire campaign will take place in the Shadowed Lands, and only across 4 cities/towns. The Shadowed Lands are ruled by a Fey Lady known as "The Queen of Shadows" who, despite her title, is not evil, but saddened by an inevitable fate supposed to befall her and single minded on preventing it. As the weather of the land is controlled by the queen's moods, there hasn't been sunshine in a long time, giving the region its name. The shadowed lands are mainly inhabited by Fey and elves, but the population is pretty mixed in general, with some cities having huge pockets of other populations. The main enemies of the campaign are swarms, demons and flesh husks, crawling with bugs. On the player side, I allow official material, kobold press and my own homebrew content. If you want something outside this, you should ask me first. I also have issues with twilight clerics and to a lesser degree artillerist Artificers, as they are annoying to balance around.

What Jan brings to the table

I do enjoy making custom monsters and tactical encounters. I tend towards very clear campaign structures with a specific number of objectives, though this campaign is slightly more open then others I run/ran. I mostly play by Rules as intended, but if you want to do something cool that will not be a constantly repeating occurance I generally allow it.

Homebrew rules

I use crunchy crits (1 maxxed die + 1 rolled die). I also have a few homebrewed races, classes and subclasses if interested.
