Forbidden Lands | Dark-Fantasy Exploration | 🏳‍🌈 & Beginner Friendly!

Forbidden Lands on Discord, Foundry VTT

About the adventure

Forbidden Lands Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WgpOkhsvPvM In the small town of Barebrook, life was once burdened by the oppressive grip of the Red Mist, an ominous presence that veiled the world beyond the town's protective walls. Cut off from the unknown, the townsfolk endured the hardships of starvation and madness. However, with the Red Mist now fading, a glimmer of hope illuminates the hearts of the daring few who grow tired of the squalid conditions of safety and yearn for fame, fortune, and adventure in the larger world. Set out into the Forbidden Lands, where you will embark on a journey to escape the hardships of Barebrook and seek a new destiny. Will you Find the fame and fortune you so desperately seek? Or will you fade away, like the Red Mist before you, and become a lost piece of the Forbidden Lands? Sessions will last for 4 hours with a 15-minute break halfway through. We will use Discord for voice and text chat and Foundryvtt for Character Sheets, Dice rolling, and music. No purchases are necessary, new players are welcome, and I hope to see you at the table!

Gameplay details

What content can and will be found in the game is listed in the Content Warnings section below. Sexual assault & rape will never make an appearance in my game. Homophobia, transphobia, and racism against other players are strictly forbidden and will result in an instant ban from my table. This game is also 18+ due to the mature subject matter. We will talk about our safety tools (Lines & Veils, x,n, and o cards, etc), Stars and Wishes, and content warnings in session 0. The Forbidden Lands can be a deadly system, so players are warned that character death may occur. The Forbidden Lands system is very player-orientated. You will work together to decide where to go, explore, and do during the course of your adventures. The gameplay is very open, very sandboxy, and anyone who is a fan of survival & sandbox gameplay is encouraged to give the system a try! With that, this campaign will be open to new and experienced players alike. I ask for patience from all players when handling rules discussions, explanations, or just general questions and concerns!

How will character creation work

We will make characters together using FoundryVTT during session 0. Character creation is made a lot easier with Foundry's officially supported Forbidden Lands system allowing for drag-and-drop, complete randomization at the click of a button, and math automation!
