About the adventure

In a dark and smokey tavern a old white haired ranger puts up a poster that states "Warriors and Adventurers Wanted. The Dragon Zlatohen has been sighted East of Lycov Castro. Reward posted at 10,000 GP upon delervry of his head to the Lycov Council. Are you brave enough to face a dragon? This is a low magic grimdark survival homebrew campaign in which you and your gatherd company set out from the town of Psomichor to hunt a dragon who is said to be in the ice capped mountains in the east of the Isle of Eletheros. Since the game is low magic there will be a limit of only one spellcaster in the group. (rangers being the only exception) The campaign will not start till the party is gathered.

Additional Details

How to prepare

The games will be played over Discord and all that will be needed is access to Dnd Beyond and Roll20. Notes and how invantory is recorded is up to player prefrence but keep in mind you will be expected to track encumberance as well. Players should be expected to use reason when sorting their invantory and consider thing like where and how your character is holding 40 days worth of rations.

What I provide

I usualy make all of my maps so some maps will be avalable while other things will be left to theater of the mind. Other then that I will have pdfs and rules writen down for any homebrew rules that will be in Roll20 so that you have open access to any of those rules that you might need. Any Dnd Beyond resources that will be needed I will provide.

Gameplay details

Players can expect to play with a number of homebrew rules throughout the game which will be determined durring the session 0 when the party is full and the game is good to start. Characters will be on Dnd Beyond (if there is a race or class that you dont have access to please let me know and I will make sure you do.) The game will be low magic and there will be a limit of only 1 spellcaster. (ranger exculded) The game will be taking place in a homebrew world, if you want to make your character feel like they belong please let me know and we can work together to make a character you want to play and one that would fit in the world. I can be a pretty slow paced and detailed DM so come ready for that kind of pace of game.

How will character creation work

There will be a session 0 and I am willing to put in the time to help you create a backstory and character details. I want you to be excited to play, let me help you make a character that feels like they belong in the story that will be told. Be aware that this game will be survival based so that will mean invantory management will matter and it will take more then just a survival roll to solve your problems. Each player will have the standard starting equipment dependent on class choice. But there will be a duribility rule in place for things like tools and armor.
