About the adventure
In the wake of the Godsrain and the War of Immortals, mythic power has infused the land and its denizens. Numerous people have awoken to this strange new power and, being unable to instinctively control it, have caused problems the world over. To combat this, the different magical academies have begun rolling out programs designed to help students harness and control these powers, to better become adventurers or benefits to society as a whole. You are one of those people who has gained mythic power, perhaps even one of the lucky few who can instinctively control it. Whether you were already a student there or not though, the Magaambya has learned of your situation and extended an invitation: to join the inaugural year of their 'Mythic Studies' program. This program does not require the student to be capable of casting spells (though that is still seen as a boon), but is instead geared towards the understanding and development of mythic powers. Those students who do well will be on track to becoming teachers and renowned adventurers. Strength of Thousands is a 1-20 campaign focusing on the Magaambya, a powerful and renowned magic academy located in the Mwangi Expanse. As students, you will attend classes and investigate the ancient mysteries of the school, and by the time you graduate you will become either teachers or affiliated adventurers. Developing the Mythic Studies department alongside other students who are discovering their powers for the first time, it may fall to you to discover and thwart a hidden force that seeks to devour the entire world. This campaign will include the following variant rules: - Ancestry Paragon - Free Archetype - Mythic

About me
I am experienced game master of 7 years, starting with dungeons and dragons, and then gaining experience with call of cthulhu and pathfinder, my current preferred systems. I love to create and share stories with others, and enjoy working both with players who want to play a game to win, and players who are looking to share a story and get deep into roleplaying.
View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
Character creation will occur during session 0 of the campaign. Players are asked to bring concepts for their characters, including backstory and build. Session 0 will focus on building the characters into the server, determining if any characters already know one another, etc. Practically all ancestries, backgrounds, classes, and feats are available for use, however uncommon and rare options must be approved by the GM first. With the use of the Free Archetype variant rule, the only restriction is that any class dedication and feats (i.e. wizard, champion, witch, etc.) must be taken with your class slots, and not in the Free Archetype slots.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players will need access to Discord, internet, a functioning microphone, and either headphones or earbuds. Sessions will take place in a discord voice call, and will also utilize the in-server chatbox in Foundry to communicate. Cameras are entirely optional.
What Jeriko brings to the table
I will provide a full discord server for the campaign, as well as a fleshed out gaming experience using the wealth of tools provided by Foundry VTT. A number of additional modules will be used to enhance player experience. I will also be recording sessions for uploading to youtube over the course of the campaign.
Homebrew rules
Full list of homebrew rules is available in the discord. Most important one for character building is a restriction on the Free Archetype variant rule - Multiclass dedications and their respective feats must be taken in class feat slots. Free Archetype is meant more for flavor and fleshing out additional aspects of your character's story.

How Jeriko creates a safe table
All players are welcome at my table, though this campaign assumes that players will have a certain level of experience with the system and rules! Session 0 will go over peoples' lines and veils, and an open dialogue will be kept throughout gameplay. My goal is to ensure that players always feel comfortable in my games, and know that they can come speak with me if they have a problem or something they need to discuss.
