About the adventure

This campaign begins in 1893, you will be navigating through the city of Penadrome, where the air is thick and musky, and smoke claws its way out from the factories. The smoke seeps into the streets and clings to all that it touches, reaching its thickest point near the tower's base. Your pulse beats in sync with each tick whispering from the clocktower, instinct dragging you on despite your struggles to retain control. This body was never yours, but merely a gift given to you by an oh so gracious god, and once again, it has come time to collect dues. Every choice you make matters, every decision impacts the world around you, in your hands lies the fate of this world, but are your hands strong enough to withhold its weight? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sessions are roleplay heavy, you can investigate anything, talk to anyone, and interact with anything surrounding you. My goal is for my games to be as open world as possible, my sessions are best for creative, horror loving people, ready to dive into this immersive world.

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!
