About the adventure
Before the creation of the material plane during the time simply known as the War, the forces of light and darkness fought for supremacy. Neutrality did not yet exist as a concept, and so the forces of Law and Chaos, Good and Evil, fought each other for the right to dominate the universe. Alliances were formed and deals made…and broken. Over the eons, some of these alliances changed or were discarded, factions formed and compromises made. One of these compromises created the notion of Neutrality. Once Neutrality came into being, some of the beings, those strong enough, forsook their allegiances, their devotions and even their heritages. During this time The Seller of Souls, the god of greed, secrets, poison, and murder, desired The Shimmering One, the goddess of beauty and love, and with the aid of the dark god, the Flaymaster, captured the goddess through deception and the threat of secrets revealed. During her captivity The Shimmering One was poisoned and while her power was diminished, she bore a child of the The Seller of Souls. This child was a Solar known as Kalathos...

About me
My name is Dave and I have been running games for over 47 years. All of my players have witnessed the level of dedication I bring to the table, and the time I take to prepare, and customize each experience for the individual players. I take the time to help each player develop their own story arcs, and customizations to make each character unique. I have also worked closely with other GM’s to develop our skills to help provide a fun and exciting experience for our players. I have a large collection of RPG’s totaling over 246 so far, not including digital titles, and these have given me a wide breadth of experience and techniques to pull from. Please see the testimonials from previous players for examples of their own experiences. For more on what I have to offer please visit my website at www.rolethedice.org

Creating your character
Characters will be created in Session Zero and start at first level. A full briefing will be given on the world setting and the environment that the characters will play in.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players will need to have Roll20 for play and discord for voice and video. We will be using the Roll20 character sheet in game, but the players may use DnDBeyond if they wish.
What David brings to the table
This particular run of my cistom adventure is desinged for adult players only. There are scenes of graphic violence, a character trauma. The campaign generally runs about 1 year for chapter 1. While their is a main stoey line, there are many side quests, and distractions, as well as a multitude of hidden clues and information. Finally, after about 8 sessions it becomes a Sandbox, and the story adjusts to the decisions of the players. I will bring the adventure and the fun! I use images and sounds/music to enhance gameplay. Custom and commercial maps are also used. I can run on several different VTT'S, but Ro20 has most of my add-ons and effects. We use the Role the Dice Discord server for both video and voice.
Homebrew rules
I have a few homegrown rules for my table which will be covered in session zero. However my main rules are: Be respectful and honest to all people at the table. Racism, sexism, and shaming will not be tolerated. This is an adult content game and we will keep it civil for all.

Safety
How David creates a safe table
I want to provide a safe and fun environment for all players, so let me know the content it too much using both the form and the in-game safety cards. This campaign has adult content and features. not recommended for children under 16, but have run with many kids. We will be using X, N, and O cards to express concern with any content, stop the content, or continue after discussion, whatever the player needs to feel comfortable.
