About the adventure
Welcome to Talagaad: The Gateway of Sins! The World of Legend is ripe with danger, intrigue, and relentless power struggles. You have journeyed to the grimy, mud-slicked streets of Talagaad, a corrupt river port caught forever in the shadow of mighty Talabheim. Here, there are no clean heroics or shining destinies. Witches and Witch Hunters, ruthless dock gangs, and State Army enforcers clash daily. It is a brutal pressure cooker where the desperate can rise to power, the innocent are few and far between, and people will stab you in the back if it means extra money in their pockets. In this campaign, your survival depends entirely on your wits, your allies, and your willingness to make ugly compromises! ⚔️ The Five Trials of the Old World We will weave through the brand-new Talagaad Adventures book from Cubicle 7. The five missions included will be woven together to form a heart-pounding, blood-pumping campaign! You will experience: • Something Fishy: Navigate a criminal underworld of street gangs and crooked merchants following a high-profile assassination! • The Hungry Towers: Intervene in a bitter noble border dispute where starving vassals pay the ultimate price! • Oars in the Water: Embark on a high-stakes upriver escape while hotly pursued by ruthless Sigmarite pirates! • If the Leaves are Green: Fight for survival when a sacred woodland festival descends into a horrific Beastmen ambush! • The Siege of Klepzig: Survive a brutal, claustrophobic siege inside a walled village targeted by a massive Orc and Goblin horde! 🎲 Gameplay & System Details • The System: We are using the brand-new Warhammer: The Old World Roleplaying Game system. • Combat Intensity: High-risk, low-frequency. Because the game completely bypasses traditional hit points, every single arrow or sword swing could stagger you, leaving you open for another hit, forcing you to roll on critical injury tables. Environment hazards are everywhere, and have a deep impact on combat. Tactical retreats are highly encouraged, and drawing your weapon is always a desperate last resort! • The Pacing: Because combat is so terrifyingly lethal, our sessions lean roleplay-heavy and investigative. You will spend more time navigating corrupt dock gangs, interrogating cultists, and bribing guards than you will in initiative order. Survival in Talagaad depends on your wits, not your brawn. *** Though some later missions will focus more on combat as you level up and get stronger throughout the campaign! *** Experience Needed: None! -> This campaign is Beginner-Friendly!! ⚔️⚔️I will happily teach you the rules, the setting, and step you through character creation during our $5 Session 0.⚔️⚔️ There will even be a mini mission during Session 0 (after character creation) for you to test out the mechanics and roll some dice! About the sessions: We will have a 5~10 minute break about halfway through each session. I aim to have each session be about 3 hours (give or take)

About me
Hi! Like many of you, I enjoy playing TTRPGs in my free time. Being a fan of the Cthulhu Mythos, my first experience with RPGs was as a player in Call of Cthulhu. I have since expanded into other genres of TTRPGs as well. Occasionally, I do enjoy just bashing enemies and being super powerful, but most of the time I prefer when characters are more human. I enjoy the story, atmosphere, and the dread of knowing something may be around the corner that can't be dealt with using brute force alone.

Creating your character
We will all create characters together during our first session (Session 0). I will walk everyone through the process. I will help you with ideas and suggestions if you are unsure. I will also provide all the info Foundry for you to view. **** Note: I will also have some pre-made characters for you to choose from if you don't want to make a character. You can always change the name and gender of the pre-made character if you wish. **** Also: If you have an idea of what type of character you want to play, that's fine. But please don't have every detail and stat figured out ahead of time as this would not be fair to another player who may have a similar idea in mind and waited to build the character together. To make a balanced party for the game, you may need to be flexible with your character build. Thanks.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You will need: 1. A Discord Account (I will invite you to my server) and a Mic - Discord will be used for all the Audio, and video (if you're using a webcam). I will be running this game on Foundry VTT, but you do not need an account. I will send the link to join my game server via Discord. Note: You do NOT need any experience with Foundry VTT! It's very easy to use, and I will teach you.
What Keeper_Chris brings to the table
I will provide everything you need to play the game! Including the rules, character sheets, and even digital dice if you want! We will be using the official Warhammer: The Old World modules for FoundryVTT so that you will have the best experience possible! Of course, I love to build the atmosphere and enhance my players' immersion in a number of ways. I use visuals (maps, images, reference, etc.) as well as audio (sound effects, and ambiance) and description! But most importantly, I will provide the story and the excitement!

How Keeper_Chris creates a safe table
This campaign deals with Warhammer themes -> horrific creatures, brutal fighting, death, assassination, cults, sacrifices, etc.. However, I do not describe anything in great detail. If at any time you are uncomfortable, please use the digital X, N, & O's. Also: I will have my Discord up throughout the whole session. Feel free to private message me anytime during the session or during the break with any concerns you may have. You can also message me after the session if there are any changes you would like to see for the following sessions. I want everyone at my table to enjoy their time playing!
