About the adventure

The gods of this land are all false, they call us heretics yet we know the truth. The only true God is the Sun, and all we have now are but corruptions of its pure form. You people give up your families, your morals for these 'Gods'... but a true God would never ask such perversions of you. You've awoken, you're eyes see nothing but cold dark stone. A mumbling coming from the left draws you're attention, you are not alone here. You've been asleep longer then many cities have been on maps, but now you must awaken, a great war is coming, and it needs you to decide which side is righteous. This campaign is both story and battle driven. You are put inbetween two warring sides, througout the campaign your goal will be to find the side you wish to aid and help them to conquer the other. Both sides are fully playable, and will have in depth story lines to accompany them, you and your group will decide your own fates...along with the dice rolls of course.

About me

If you like mind bending psychological terrors, story driven sessions, horror homebrew content, and a world where all decisions matter and impact the future storyline (in both the best and worst of ways) then I am the DM for you. I began designing in-depth worlds when I was small, drawing out massive maps and begging my friends to join in with me. I've been playing TTRPG & RPG for over 13 years, so I was instantly obsessed with D&D and played in 6 simultaneous campaigns when I first started!!! That was 6 years ago, now I’m currently the GM for 4 active weekly in person campaigns at High Rollers Board Game Cafe, which I co-own with my mother, who has been a writer for 35 years. I am also in the development of 2 games and 1 book, my whole family is very creative. My campaigns are designed to delight and disturb, featuring eldritch elements and cosmic atrocities. If you want to test your constitution, join my table and come roll the odds. ~Fox

Character creation

Creating your character

It will be done together before the first session, I will send a list of questions along with a call to make your character in Foundry VTT, starting level is 4, multiclassing and homebrew content are perfectly fine. Overall mischief is expected and encouraged throughout making a character together!

What to expect

Preparing for the session

You should make a Forge and a Foundry VTT account, then join the discord server.

What Fox Morningstar brings to the table

I'm a strong rule of cool DM, i will be bringing lots of story, some terrifying battles, and plenty of funky maps, worlds, and character art. My story telling and quick wits are the main things I will bring to the table, the party making up a wacky creative way out of something I didnt plan for at all? No worries here, I will work with you all and run with the ideas you think of! The art I use is absolutely one of the highlights of my games as I am a very visual person, there will be art for everything and anything there can be! If you're ever stuck when making a character, or item for your backstory I have thousands of photos, so tell me what you're thinking and i'll make it happen!

Homebrew rules

1. Goodberries are 1 action to eat whatever amount you can summon. 2. Drinking potions are bonus actions. 3. Almost anything is craftable if you put in the time. 4. All players may start with 1 uncommon magical item, as long as it is explained as to how and why they have it in their backstory {get wacky with it!}

Safety

How Fox Morningstar creates a safe table

Before we start playing I will send you a document and questionnaire for each player to fill out, I am very adamant about open communication and making sure everyone has fun, so expect me to always check in after the session to make sure all is well. If something upsets you please let me know! Whether it's then and there or in a private message after, please always bring up anything that's made you uncomfortable!
