About the adventure

Somewhere in the south, the Undead King builds his army, a plan to take the world under his control. Meanwhile the peoples of the world of Assara sit ignorant of this dark threat. The various people fight amongst themselves, divided they will not last. As any good hook goes you are drawn into a job working for the mysterious figure known as the Courier. You will embark on a job in a world where coin comes sparingly. The world of Assara, has a bit of grim fantasy to it, a grounded world but by no means a "low magic" setting with no casters. More of a slow burn.

What I provide

I have D&D beyond, I can share books to my campaigns, I have all the essential books for most characters. If I lack something I may either just buy it for you, or create a homebrew copy for your use. This will be used for character creation. I have the VTT Foundry, with custom maps. This is for basic gameplay. If people would like ambient music, I can set that up as well through Foundry. Combat is tactical and due to the advanced rules I have previously stated can be difficult but I will be utilizing a more powerful customized Array of abilities to help. I am a very open person, and have an open door policy, feel free to ask me anything, directly about game or otherwise, but especially with any concerns! I always encourage criticism at the end of a session so feel free to speak up. I tend to fall somewhere between rule of cool and RaW. I love for players to do creative and fun stuff but an allowing you to do something that is not on your characters list of abilities will only happen if it makes sense, is physically possible, and does not take away from what other characters can do.

Gameplay details

The story will be mostly linear but, I always leave room for open spaces to explore and work within so it does not feel like some sort of railroad, I like to reward creativity. This game is a homebrew of my own creation, heavily influenced by Mark Lawrence's The Broken Empire, and Jay Kristoff's Empire of the Vampire. There will be some minor homebrew rules, and items. Additionally this will use the more difficult rest rules from the DMG where 8 hours of sleep is a short rest, and 1 week is a long rest.

How will character creation work

There will be a free session zero to help with any questions and character creation. Game will start at LV1, I will hand out a custom Array for you to distribute ability scores as you like. Gear will be starting class gear. Any race from PHB, or Monsters of the Multiverse are acceptable. Custom Origins is acceptable. You will begin with 1 feat that will be justified for your character. No Custom Lineage or Variant Human, I am already giving you a free feat. There will be Homebrew Variant Humans available as Human is the most populated race in the setting.
