About the adventure

Brave heroes, heed my call! The land is in peril, as the terrifying beast known as the Tarrasque is bound to wreak to bring devastation to the world! This creature is nigh unstoppable, with skin as hard as steel and a hunger for destruction that knows no bounds. The people are fleeing in terror, and even the mightiest armies have been unable to slow its rampage. But all is not lost, for you are the chosen ones, the heroes who will stand against this fearsome foe. Your mission is to face the Tarrasque head-on, to put an end to its reign of terror and save the land from certain doom. You will need all of your strength, your cunning, and your courage to stand a chance against this behemoth. It will take everything you have, and perhaps a bit of luck, to emerge victorious. But the fate of the land rests in your hands. Are you ready to face the Tarrasque and become the heroes that the people need? The challenge awaits. In Invasion from the Planet of the Tarrasques, you will play epic Heroes of 20th Level with their goal set in eternal stone - to stop the Mad Mage himself, Halaster Blackcloak, from destroying all of Faerun with not one behemoth of a Tarrasque, but several of the ancient titans. They are stampeding towards the great city of splendor, Waterdeep. The battle will be intense but is only the first half of the battle. The heroes will then hunt down the Mad Mage, responsible for this cataclysmic act! Art by Adam Vehige https://www.artstation.com/vegasmike/profile

Gameplay details

A 10 minute break is had roughly halfway in the Session. Participation in the Stars and Wishes at the end will improve future runs of the one-shot Lines and Veils are laid out in the Google Doc and Form that is to be filled out, including your own Lines and Veils. Character Creation must be completed, at the latest, 1 hour prior to game time. If you have it done the day before, you get Inspiration. This game contains the following themes: Fantasy Violence, alcohol reference, horror, and magic/sorcery. I personally rarely use explicit language but you are welcome to use it if you like, unless we all agree otherwise. Some light romance is possible. Crude or Extreme content such as sexually explicit scenes, heavy romance, illicit drug use, and explicit slavery and the like are hard lines we won't cross. This is a player driven story, so other content and themes may arise.
