About the adventure

Campaign Trailer: https://youtube.com/shorts/ROqh1TcZe3I Prophecy says you're important. That doesn't mean it'll be kind. In Thylea, the gods watch closely, old grudges run deep, and the world is starting to change. • Your story matters Every hero is tied to a greater destiny. The choices you make shape where that path leads. • Explore a world of myth Sail between islands. Walk forgotten roads. Stand in places where legends were born. • Face creatures from old stories Dragons. Cyclopes. Titans. The sort of monsters people tell stories about centuries later. • Earn allies and rivals The people you meet remember what you do. Friendships matter. So do grudges. • Leave your mark The world doesn't stay the same. Your victories, failures, and sacrifices shape what comes next. This is a story about heroes. Not perfect ones. The kind who have to decide what they're willing to stand for when things get difficult. So. What do you want to be remembered for? [[Beginner & LGBTQIA2S+ Friendly]] -------------------------- 📣See what Tony has to say about my DM'ing: ⭐"Wow, what to say, 101 sessions in. Leland has been a fantastic GM, He's patient, kind, and knowledgeable about the system we're playing. I look forward to the days I get to "sit" at his table. He's become a fast friend as well. I knew from the first session when I joined his Saltmarsh campaign that I was in for a ride, and here I am 100+ sessions in now. Cheers to many more to come! Of you're having doubts about joining one of his games, know that you're going to have a fantastic time and maybe make some lifelong friends as well."

About me

Hey everyone, I’m Leland. Some of y’all probably know me online as Leopold the Just. I’ve been obsessed with tabletop RPGs since the early 2000s and somehow still love this hobby just as much now as I did back then. Outside of GMing, I’m usually at concerts, playing board games, getting lost in strategy games and RPGs, camping, traveling, trying good food, wandering through museums and aquariums, or planning my next tattoo. As a GM, I lean hard into strange mysteries, creepy places, emotional roleplay, and NPCs that stick with people long after the session ends. Some games feel cozy. Some feel awful in the best way possible. Sometimes both happen in the same night. If you like character-driven stories and worlds that react to what you do, you’ll probably fit in just fine at my table. --- What to expect at my table and in the community: • Story-first sessions with a big focus on character growth and roleplay • Fast, cinematic combat that stays tense and easy to picture • A world that reacts to what you say and do • Group storytelling and shared worldbuilding where your choices leave marks behind • A relaxed, inclusive space where people can show up as themselves • $5 community one-shots for active members that mix players from different campaigns together • Community hangouts outside the games too: video game streams, board game nights, watch parties, and more! So pull up a virtual chair and let’s tell some stories together! GM Profile Trailer: https://youtube.com/shorts/a7BjxuQmdHM

Safety

How Leland House creates a safe table

I'll have everyone submit lines/veils/interests via DMs, then I will distribute a pdf document for the other players to have on hand or have it as a handout in the VTT of choice. Then we'll go over them during session 0, along with making characters and doing some collaborative storytelling to establish relationships between said characters. I typically post a custom agenda the day before session 0 begins.
