About the adventure

People think they know how the world works. They have their beliefs, their religions, their superstitions and urban legends, they have conspiracy theories, they have science. Most don’t know the truth of the world, most fall asleep at night and wake up still in the dream that is the real world. They have not awakened to what is truly out there. There is magic in the word, true magic, not what you find on etsy and tiktok. There are preternatural threats that could wipe out society…or inconvenience a suburban family. The otherkin, or wyrdfolk as is the respectable term, walk amongst humans and people are none the wiser. The US government is aware– it is why The Union was established. Protection as they call it but really it is control, and extermination when they feel the need, of what they feel threatened by. The true world exists in a place called the Backstreets. It is the world within, and on top, and beside, and around the mundane. Up until recently Richmond’s backstreets have been in a state of peace. Then The Union came and wiped out the Atlantic Coven. They aren’t all gone, that would have been impossible even for them, but the coven no longer exists. The strongest vampire coven on the east coast taken out in the span of a week. Everyone has been laying low, making sure they are ready for the same to happen to them, yet everyone wants a piece of the power vacuum left by the Atlantic’s fall. Tensions haven’t been this high since witchcraft was outlawed. It is only a matter of time before the fighting starts and when it does it will be a bloodbath. - This game takes place on earth in the city of Richmond, Virginia with a combination of urban supernatural and urban fantasy elements but those things aside, history is essentially the same. You all (the party) are people, that is wyrdfolk inclusive, who want to grab at the power vacuum left within the supernatural underworld of the city. This game is on the darker side with certain themes so at the very least expect what has been listed in the content warnings however things will be discussed to make sure everyone is comfortable and has a good time. What you all decide to do and build is up to you, a crime family is of course a clear choice given the genre but it is not required. All in all I hope to explore the world and get into the fun nitty-gritty of the mash of genres here! BRING THE MESSY INTERPARTY DYNAMICS :3

Character creation

Creating your character

Character creation can happen before session however will be going over characters during session zero. Characters can be made with 2014 and 2024 rules as unfortunately not everything has been updated. If you're background does not give you a feat you may take one for the free. Lastly, if you would like you may take one of the transformations from the Grim Hollow books for your characters though the original versions not the update made for 2024. Stat Generation: Roll for stats using 5d6 and drop the two lowest. Hit Points: Will be rolled however you can get one free reroll.

What to expect

Preparing for the session

You will only need discord, a headset, and access to owlbear rodeo (it is free) for this game. The owlbear will only be used for combat maps when needed.

What Witch of Wandering Dreams brings to the table

This will mostly be a theater of the mind game (aside from battle maps) with a heavy bit of Rule of Cool. I will try and provide ambient music assuming the stars align and nothing glitches out. I hope to provide a rich and wonderful world for you all the build characters in and explore. Also I love to joke around by no means am I locked serious 100% of the time :3

Homebrew rules

Death saves will be rolled privately. Drinking a potion is a bonus action. - other potential homebrew rules will be brought up during session 0.
