About the adventure
🏹Grab your axe, grab your boots, it's time for an adventure!🗺️ We want 🫵🏼YOU🫵🏼 to prove anybody can become a hero. Take on the challenge, earn some gold and glory along the way, and you'll be ready to kill a god in no time! And, hey, listen, it's really not going to be that bad! They're the god of *corruption* and *rot*, they're really not doing anyone any favors by sticking around! And, c'mon, if you win? Imagine what they'll be saying about you, all across the region! Heck, even the world!! 🤔Still not convinced? That's okay -- we love a hard bargain. 🎥Picture this: your life was mundane, ordinary, you ate the same thing for breakfast everyday and knew exactly how you'd live everyday until it was your last... 💥But wait! What if, instead of reading the same book after eating your dry toast yet again, you...went on a walk? And stumbled upon a job listing looking for help out in a nearby town? I mean, your entire day *was* clear anyway, what could it hurt? 🫨Now, what if you just...stayed out? Made some friends along the way, and instead dedicated your days to doing what *you* want and not what you were *expected* to do? 😤Or maybe you're going to prove everyone wrong! They said you'd amount to nothing, working every day in that dead end job, but what do they know?? You're clearly destined for more!! 🗺️🏹💥 There will be challenging combat, heartfelt candor, and expert comedic timing to make even the worst gut punch feel not *quite* as bad. The campaign will start in the eastern side of the Sword Coast (almost two months journey from Baldurs Gate!) but our ventures can take us anywhere -- that's up to you (and the party) to decide! We follow a 'fast paced' method of play, in that we will spend more time working directly on *the thing* instead of blindly searching for a suggestion of what to do for an hour straight. The game may be challenging at times, but the goal is always the same: have *fun*.

About me
When you love storytelling and have a penchant for chaos, all roads (eventually) lead to TTRPG. I came to tabletop roleplay later in life (2023) but my love for crafting stories and roleplaying online started in 2005. When you're plagued with visions and brainworms aplenty, there's nothing I love more than detailing a scene like I'm storyboarding a movie. Yes, we know where the action is leading us, but how are we getting there? Is it with a comedic flair, or a penchant for angst and dramatics? Those are the details I highlight when setting the scene. Offline, I provide individual and group therapy (including therapeutic gaming!) to children and teens. I have presented at local, national, and international conferences, on my most favorite topic of all: utilizing tabletop gaming to support social skills and emotional flexibility. The fun doesn’t stop there, as I’ve been working on a handbook for behavior analysts who want to learn how to bring gaming to the therapy room! When I'm not making art or gaming (Sims4, CitiesSkylines), you're likely to find me doomscrolling on tumblr and organizing my 100+ open tabs on AO3. Please note, I provide additional care to ensure that neurodivergent, LGBTQ+, and BIPOC voices are heard, elevated, and supported. There is no AI at my table. Generative or otherwise, for myself or for players. This includes image creation and note taking. I create my game images using Canva Pro, and do additional research to ensure I am not using AI-generated assets in those images. My profile banner is created by myself. Game maps are carefully sourced either from the game publisher or through independent artists. If you find or suspect generative AI material in my content, please message me so that I may correct it.

Creating your character
Characters should be ready to go at session start, and made on DnDBeyond.com. Your character can have a fully fleshed out backstory, or you can choose to expand on it as the campaign progresses; whichever you prefer! Standard Array for ability scores will be used. Most homebrew and source material is welcome, especially for 2014/5e components that have not been updated for 2024/5.5e.
This campaign is best ran with four to six players. An NPC will be included, especially on days when less than four party members are present. Please note, there will be no game on 10/21, 11/25, or 12/23. Tentative game on 12/30. Current Party: Half-Elf Rogue, Oozekin Barbarian, Human Warlock, Changeling Cleric, Tortle Druid Current Level: 3
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You will need a Discord & DnDBeyond account to play. Both accounts are free to create. My Discord server will be used for audio, and DnDBeyond for VTT. If you create your character within the campaign, you will have access to my source books. Your Character's picture on DnDBeyond will be their token during gameplay.
What Erika Kathryn brings to the table
Character sheets, Maps, and Dice Rolling will be ran through DnDBeyond. Discord will be used for audio. We follow the Rule of Cool here, and make liberal use of in-character dialogue and narration. You can do as much as you are comfortable with, and I welcome the melding of minds if you have a specific vision for how a conversation or action goes down! Creative choices will be honored, 9 times out of 10. If it adds to the narrative, it's likely game!
Homebrew rules
- Consumables are a bonus action - Nat 1s cause damage (for fun flavor, not to target any one person) - Flanking gives advantage - When a number is halved, we round up - When you restore HP and roll more points than you need to recover, the points in excess may be logged as temporary HP (i.e., you have 15 HP out of 20 remaining, use a potion, and get an 8 on the dice roll -- you would then have 20HP and 3 Temp HP) Inventory/Items: - players begin with two potions of healing - players may switch out items as needed during character creation (i.e., starting equipment includes a scimitar and you want a glaive instead) - players may start with both starting equipment AND starting gold - players may use their starting gold to buy additional (nonmagical) items - players should have 2 Magic Items: Any combination of uncommon and/or common items If you’re bringing in a pre-existing character, additional items may be allowed assuming it fits the narrative and backstory. In any case, the party will remain balanced.

How Erika Kathryn creates a safe table
Once you get set up in my discord server, you can message me any specific lines/veils you want to be observed. Similarly, we'll do a brief check in prior to game start to make sure everyone is comfortable with the set up. I do not typically take a break during game play, but that doesn’t mean you can’t. You are more than welcome to step away at any time, without worry or issue. I appreciate stars and wishes post-gameplay.
