About the adventure

The world of Ne’erdell has been overrun by monsters. The forces of darkness weren’t completely successful in their campaign against the forces of light, but they made the world pay for every meter of ground they lost. In the end, light won out, but was extinguished - allowing death and decay to bloom in it’s wake. Now you, and the other residents of this world must pick up the pieces and try to build a life worth living. Our story begins amongst the humble porches and shopfronts of the two-horse town of Cheridan, who had put out the call for adventurers willing to help them rebuild in exchange for a stake in the town’s future. Over the course of 10-15 sessions, you’ll help Cheridan rise from the ashes of the greatest conflict to ever touch the lands of Ne’erdell. Will the village of the phoenix return to the thriving community it was before the onset of war? That is up to you! Great for players new and old to D&D 5e!

Additional Details

How to prepare

Everyone must have the following: - A computer microphone of some kind (I would also strongly recommend that you have a webcam) - A Zoom account - A Roll20 account - A D&D Beyond account - A Discord account - Access to Google docs

What I provide

I'll provide a Roll20 environment for important conflicts, as well as the village of Cheridan itself (which will grow as the game continues), and we'll keep character sheets together in a D&D Beyond digital campaign. Smaller encounters will be run "theater of the mind" style. For the most part, my GM style leans into Rule of Cool - I want to encourage you to make the fun choice, not always the safe one!

Gameplay details

Session 0 will be a free session to go over the game, rules, setting, tone, and player characters as well as initial conversations about Lines & Veils, and the creation of physical X/N/O cards to be held up or messaged during play. From there, we'll jump right into the game starting with Session 1!

Safety tools used

  • Breaks

  • Lines and Veils

  • Session 0

  • X, N, and O Cards

How will character creation work

We will walk through the creation of Level 1 adventurers as a group during our Session 0, but everyone is encouraged to bring 1-3 character concepts with them so we have a place to start. I would advise you not to look at skills or abilities after Level 6, as I expect that's the furthest level we'll achieve during the course of the game.
