About the adventure

“ This adventure takes place in the far-northern wilderness Duchy of Urland, a large region that holds three distant baronies (Tor, Dalrath, and Bedegar) with many perilous lands between them. You have killed young Edmund Bedegar (heir to the throne), cleared out a ruined castle in Forest Rend, and claimed it as their own. The local commander, Lord Saxton, saw this as a challenge to his power. Saxton sent one of his lieutenants and a small force to clear out the castle, but you have prevailed. This game is private campaign that use the rules of Kingdoms & Warfare to tell on epic tale of three upcoming forces that seek to conquer Duchy of Urland. Players will start at level 10.

Additional Details

How to prepare

At the very least, you will use voice chat over Discord and headphones. It is recommended to have a laptop or PC as it will be difficult to play through a phone alone. Players can bring their own dice or use virtual dice. We will be using the trust system for dice results.

What I provide

We will be using Owlbear Rodeo for all visuals and combat encounters. I will have my own dice. I will also include ambient music and many NPC voices.

Gameplay details

This game includes using the XO-Card system. The XO-Card is an index card with an X drawn on one side and an O on the other side. When a player is uncomfortable with the content for any reason (including phobias, PTSD, and/or many more), they hold up the X side of the card and show it to the DM. If the DM is confident that they know why they should move on, they do so. If I don’t know why, I might skip ahead to move things on. If they hold up the O side, it means that the player is enjoying what is happening and want more of that particular content. Content warning: Blood, violence and death. Additional content warnings will be discussed with the players and the DM will make any necessary changes to the story
