How to prepare

To prepare for the game please make sure you have the following: 🔴Roll20 and Discord account set up. 🔴Please also make sure you have a working mic. 🔴If you are a beginner watch the Handbooker Helper videos on the Critical Role youtube channel.

What I provide

As this is a roll20 game everything will be on that platform. I custom make battlemaps and creatures to fit the campaign. I have access to; Players Handbook, Monster Manual, Dungeon Masters Guide, Volos Guide, Tashas Cauldron, Xanathars, Fizbans Treasury, Guilds of Ravnica and an assortment of 3rd party materials. I can share these with players as needed and when I purchase any new content and choose to add it to the campaign the players will also gain access to those options.

Gameplay details

The Calamity of Valku is a homebrew adventure starting at lvl 1 until lvl 17 and suitable for a player of any experience level. Take part in a grand adventure that will see you start from humble beginnings and rise to meet the challenge of dispatching an ancient dragon as they lay claim to your home. The adventure will start in the major trading port of Nelstar [Nel-Star] on the eastern side of the archipelago. The Oligarchy is calling aid in these dire times drawing people from all over the continent. Was your home destroyed during Rhaevas' awakening? Is it now under threat? Are you only here for fame and fortune? Actions have consequences and NPCs will react to the group dependant on their choices. Time is always ticking, if a time limit is placed on an objective I will be keeping track to maintain a believable world. If the group doesnt do a mission another NPC adventuring party may do it instead. Combat and Roleplay is even in most of my games but this can change dependant on the group and the current questline. Some sessions may have no combat and some may be all combat.
