Skies of Smoke - An Eberron Inspired Campaign

About the adventure

As orphans, or "underlings", you toil in the depths of Golanthus to get by. Processing the waste, detritus, and runoff of the city might seem like it's a thankless job that makes others in power money while compromising your health and safety, but if you didn't do it you'd starve. Your adolescent nature may inspire you to rebel against your "foster parents", but c'mon ... they give you ... something that resembles food ... twice a day even! But something's got to give, and with your determination, we'll find out what it is together. "Skies of Smoke" will be an open-world adventure that will follow characters from the depths of the city to the heights of power and everywhere in between. Characters will take on challenges or "jobs" as they see fit, with a narrative shaped by their choices, and by a world of goings on in the background. Played in the theatre of the mind, the narrative will move along briskly, and opportunities for more and greater challenges lay around every corner, and beyond every choice made. As with all DMingHadley's public games, it will be broadcast live.

How will character creation work

Create a level 1 human fighter (to start with). Using magic as an underling in this world is out of the question. Yeah ... you heard me. Also ... No equipment. No gold. Nada. You're a kid. An orphan. We'll deal with any "equipment" you might have for work or might stumble upon and could get away with keeping. Your stats are going to be 8, 10, 10, 10, 11, 12, however you want to arrange them. We'll go over more details in session zero and in the meantime before the game actually starts. Don't worry about back stories. You've been doing this since you could pick up a shovel ... sort metal from glass and stone, or strain excrement from waste water. It's just about all you know.
