About the adventure

Evil is stirring in the town Akeley - an evil that drifts out to the minds that drift through the inky void between the stars. Somewhere beyond the grasp of mere mortal minds the call has been heard. Soon, it will be answered. However, not all that comes from the skies comes with malice. Some rather unusual warriors have also noticed the signal and have resolved to deal with the infestation before it can spread. These Strange fighters cannot conquer the evil alone, but it just so happens that a band of stout hearted adventurers are passing by.

Additional Details

How to prepare

You will need a working mic and a connection to the Discord server which I will give out. I will also send out link to the campaigns to join so everything is connected. Try to build some sort of character story so that it is more involved in the story! We can help advise as one wishes to develop a character for fun. A free account on Roll20l, D&D Beyond, a working mic and Beyond20 and a character back story.

What I provide

Dice are handy as sometimes the virtual die do do not work accordingly. Plus half the fun is tossing those die around and waiting for that NAT 20 to show up. Music and sound effects will be used at times and distinct character traits for major NPC's. Other that that make sure you are hydrated and have enough to eat to last through what can sometimes extended into a long session if everyone is having fun, As GM I like to play fast and read with the rules and let's just all have fun and not worry about that lurking best in the forest! All of the sourcebooks for D&D 5e on DNDBeyond and can be used for character creation.

Gameplay details

This adventure should in no way encourage topics that will be uncomfortable to others. If a topic is mentioned even by GM please let us know and we can all walk back from table if need, No reasons need to be given topic. We use the card system present and a safe word approach to to avoid any potential probable/triggers. There will be quite a bit of combat so players should expect some scenes of violence. There will be some description of battle in graphic detail. There will be no violent PVP action allowed during the game unless agreed upon by all members including the DM.

How will character creation work

Characters will use WoTC Material and 5e rules and will usually happen before session 0/1. There is no homebrewing of classes or subclasses. This is so we can have as much game time as possible from the get go. I can work with each player on character ideas. We use the character sheets provided by D&D Beyond. Abilities will be rolled for in front of the DM and multiclassing is allowed. We are all here to play and everyone needs to be able to take part in the game, Players will generally have a character created before session 0/1. Session 0/1 is usually just a short run down of rules and expectations and then on to game play. If you have anything homebrew you wished to add please ask the GM but for the most part please stick with rules and items as written. DM has final say on a ruling at the table and will give their reasoning for the ruling. Please watch cross talk and please allow other players to play characters the way they want. There is no need to remind them of rules all the time as that is a way for a player to learn. Let them ask me a rule or I will suggest something to them. Please keep meta gaming down to a minimum.
