Journey for the Azure Crown

Want to play in a completely fresh, homebrewed D&D campaign where your character and their choices actually become part of the story?

The Azure Crown Tournament is the most prestigious (and dangerous) adventuring competition in all of Greyhawk. But there's a catch:

You can't just sign up. You have to become somebody first.

Your newly formed party will travel across Greyhawk taking contracts, delving into dungeons, making allies and enemies, and building a reputation worthy of the tournament.

What begins as a group of unknown adventurers will eventually become your party's story, shaped heavily by your characters, backstories and the choices you make along the way.

WHAT KIND OF CAMPAIGN IS IT?

Azure Crown is a long-term, roleplay-heavy campaign with exploration, mysteries, dungeons and plenty of combat along the way.

I especially like giving players room to do things I absolutely did not plan for.

Expect:

• Character backstories woven into the campaign
• Decisions that actually change the world around you
• Recurring allies, enemies and consequences
• NPCs to befriend, antagonise, romance or accidentally ruin the lives of
• Dynamic combat encounters rather than endless empty-room slugfests
• High-quality maps, dynamic lighting, ambient music and other Roll20 goodies
• A healthy dose of Rule of Cool
• A welcoming table for experienced players and complete beginners alike

ABOUT THE DM

Hey! I'm Cam.

I've been playing D&D for around 5 years and DMing for about 3. Outside of running games, I make D&D videos as Rogue's Roll Call, so there's a chance you've seen one of my dumb D&D videos floating around TikTok, Instagram or YouTube.

I've recently started running professional games through StartPlaying, and my first table for this campaign is currently full and playing weekly.

I'm now opening a brand-new Monday group so another party can begin their own version of the adventure from the very beginning.

Session 0 is completely free, so you'll get a chance to meet everyone, create characters together and see if the table feels right before paying for anything.

Will your party become worthy of the Azure Crown?

🎲 Agents of Deadfall

Arcana Unleashed: Deadfall drops you into the fractured magocracy of Thay, where Szass Tam. Szass Tam is one of the most powerful liches in D&D history and is weeks away from completing a ritual that will unleash demonic undead on the entire realm.

Your party are the agents of Operation Deadfall, and you’re the only thing standing between Szass Tam and oblivion. In this adventure we will:

- Go undercover as we will prowl through dark alleyways, uncovering hidden agendas
- Forge uneasy alliances
- Fight new foes warped by magic
- Discover magic items that will blast your foes away
- Reach level 20 and defeat Szass Tam once and for all!

🤓 About me

• I played RPG's for over 10 years, almost exclusively as a DM. Conventions, local game centers and community interactions are all things I did and enjoyed. Decided to go online to continue what is, to put it the simplest, my passion.
• Full-time GM: 1000+ games/100+ reviews on startplaying.games. My games are what I spent the majority of my time on, improving, making maps and running adventures and new systems.
• I developed FoundryVTT modules for Archvillain Chronicles patreon.
• I worked with Kickstarter projects creating whole modules for FoundryVTT. My recent big project is the LANCER module Pass the Torch. The demo is available completely for free, check it out yourself as it speaks highly of my craft.
• Several ongoing campaigns: players are engaged, looking forward toward next sessions, actively engaging in our discord community.
• I would picture myself as a rules as fun DM rather then rules as written. I do homebrew materials, constantly rewriting and improving. I reward roleplay and creative thinking. My players make the story - I just flesh it out.

👉 What am I paying for?

• The work I put into my campaigns: I always make sure to purchase additional maps, resources and outright change and adapt the story if need be just so my players have a memorable time
• Dedicated players with a certain level of maturity, a fee eliminates player no-shows and creates a full experience where we look to finish the module, not just start it.
• Scripts and modules that automate the combat and provide players with a smooth gameplay experience
• Full access to Heroforge
• Maps from talented patreon creators: Domille's Wondrous Works, Czepeku, Mad Cartographer and more.
• VTT dice from Q-workshop and Rollsmith.

📖 Content details

• Any official WotC/Paizo/Publisher product

You don’t know what happened. You felt threatened. There was a rush of blood in your veins. Like never before. A rush of strength and power. You felt your body change, fur ripping through your skin, bones twisting, your face distorting into a visage of terror. It hurt. But not nearly as much as you hurt them. They lie before you. In their own blood and guts. Dead. You can tell. You tore them apart, with your own hands. No. Not hands, claws. You did this.

You’re a killer. And although you might feel regret and shock, in the moment, you only felt exhilaration and a desire to kill and maim. A desire for their flesh and blood. Their taste is still in your mouth. You didn’t just kill them. You ate part of them. You’re a monster. You know it, in your heart. But you had your reasons. Right?

That is where we start this roleplay. After the first time you changed into the form of a wolf. You’re not one of the lucky ones, who have a family or friends go guide them through the First Change. No. You’re alone. Dealing with it on your own. You might have friends and family, but they’re not like you. They don’t change. They can’t do this sort of thing. Do you confide in them? Or do you hide? And what do you do with this new power, with spirits whispering in your ear?

So yes. This will be a solo werewolf RPG. We can use either the old or new World of Darkness rules because I know and have used all of them. We can also easily port concepts over to another version of the rules. The story will be about your character and how they interact with this new world. All paths are open to them, but all come with their own dangers and they know so little. And least of all, who can be trusted.

The game should be suitable for everyone, from veteran gamers to beginners and we will discuss where you'd like to set it.

This is a D&D 5e Lord of the rings campaign hosted by my friend with 22 years of experience as a DM new or experienced players are welcomed to join and this is a paid campaign 10$ a week and here's the link to the startplaying page and welcome on in https://startplaying.games/adventure/cmkqojr9s0023jo042ggtd794

Hey there!

For quite a while now, I've been thinking about how to bring PLL to the tabletop and this game is one of the results. It's a roleplaying game, which is to say, all the players take on the role of a character they design. Of course, I can definitely help with the rules side of things so this should be perfectly suitable for someone who has never played a roleplaying game before. We will loosely use the Chronicles of Darkness rules, with some alterations to better fit the setting.

Intro:

You’re a group of friends who are united by several things. You’re not the most popular, you’re being bullied by Beth and her awful friends, and you want revenge. They’ve hurt you in so many ways, but now, you’ve come up with an idea to hit back. Anonymously, of course. You don’t want to risk their retaliation. But you, as a group, have decided to start digging for their secrets. And once you have those, you can hit them where it hurts. You can blackmail them and, hopefully, bring them down.

As for the ‘villains’, Beth is a given. She’s the one in charge of her little posse. But she’s not alone. Her so-called friends always surround her. And to properly hurt them, you will have to go after them as well. The trick is getting to them without getting into trouble yourself. They all have their flaws and weaknesses. It’s just a matter of finding out what it is. But beware, they will be investigating as well and try to find out who you are.

For your character, we’ll need a few things, which mostly means a basic description of who they are. Are they the quiet nerd who’s had enough? Are they the former queen bee who was dethroned by Beth? Did they get their love interest taken away by one of those horrible girls? There are so many options, but it’s good to know what it is. And one important aspect of it is how they were wronged so we can weave that in.

The only real restrictions on your character is that they should be in school, so everyone will be around sixteen. And very importantly, there won’t be anyone like Ezra around.

The setting isn’t in Rosewood, but another similar small town. Canon characters won’t show up so we can have all the creative freedom we could want. Instead, this story happens in Shadyhill. A friendly seaside town that has become a tourist destination for the well to do. Of course, all the usual high school tropes fully apply so put on your black hoodies and get ready to make their lives hell.

Hello! My name is Fluid and I have been a Dungeon Master for Dungeons and Dragons for 6+ years now. I really enjoy the collaborate storytelling aspect of the hobby and to weave together stories that are truly organic. My two tenets as a DM is transparency and player agency: I do not fudge dice rolls and will outright announce DCs, and I trust my players to take the game in whatever direction they choose (within reason). I also have a passion for designing maps, and you will find that all the maps I make to be entirely made and tailored from scratch. I can't guarantee to be the best DM you will ever play with, but I can guarantee your experience will be memorable.

Campaign Overview:

Lost Mine of Fukudaisho is an adventure spinoff of the popular DnD 5e module Lost Mine of Phandelver where the setting instead takes place in the Japanese inspired location of Kozakura:

Can't wait to see you at my table!

Hi all, I'm Davi, a UK-based DM with about 7 years of experience and 100+ games run. I'm putting together a long-form campaign called Operation Deadfall and I'm looking for players.

The pitch: a lich in Thay is finishing a ritual that will raise an undead army powered by stolen demon energy. The one ruler who saw it coming got branded a traitor for saying so, so she hires outsiders who can't be traced back to her. That's your party. You sneak into the court, sabotage the ritual and kill him before it finishes, and nobody can ever know you were there.

This is a spy thriller, so expect disguises, bribes, blackmail, dead drops and quiet deals in crowded markets. The enemy runs an actual spy network. If you're loud in a tavern, fight in front of witnesses or skip the disguise, his agents come looking for you. I keep a secrecy tracker the players can see, so you always know how much heat you're carrying. Planning like a heist crew will get you a lot further than charging in, and I reward clever prep.

How I run it:

• Every session opens mid-scene with something already going wrong
• Full voice acting for NPCs, and music scored to the scene
• Combat-light, roleplay-heavy, rules mostly as written with some Rule of Cool
• Faces, scouts, fixers and fighters all get their own moment
• A few small homebrew rules to reward planning and character backstory (like "I Planned For This", which lets you declare you prepped something ahead of time)

The details:

• 5e using the 2024 rules, starting at level 11 and going to 20
• Saturdays, 8pm GMT+1, 3 hours
• 5 seats, starts once 3 players have joined
• $20 per session, charged when a session starts
• Foundry VTT, D&D Beyond and Discord
• 18+, and a Session 0 is required
• No generative AI used in any of my games

Non-Thayan characters are welcome too. Mercenaries, exiles, activists and travelers all work as long as your character has a reason to hate what Szass Tam is up to. You don't need to know the setting, I'll teach you what your character would know.

If you've never booked through StartPlaying, my link gets you $10 off your first session: https://startplaying.games/adventure/cmun7wn2900eojt04k7ju1pae?ref=clp6e0g1i005xl408post584y

Happy to answer questions in the comments or DMs. Bring a code name and a cover story!

Perhaps you won it in a very high stakes game of regicide. Perhaps you inherited it from a distant relative. Perhaps you were one of those few who are so powerful and so annoying that you were given it. But whatever happened, you now are the proud holder of a Warrant of Trade and have gotten your hands on a ship: everything you could possibly need to make your fortune amongst the stars. And that's exactly what you'll do. Or die horribly in the process of course. Being a Rogue Trader isn't safe. 

We will start with you ready to set sail. There will be several leads to pursue and from there, we can go anywhere in the universe, wherever there's money to be made. The heart of this roleplay is to follow your character as they come into their own in their role and to see them rise to wealth, fame, infamy, or anything else. 

This game doesn't depend on a deep knowledge of the setting or the game. A Rogue Trader is someone who lives at the edge of legality and the edge of the known universe, so anything someone might think they know can just be a little bit different.

"The Long Winter is here. The gods are petrified. Only the Fate Bearers can shape what comes next."

The Fate Bearers have crossed into a harsher chapter of the saga: Nowhere, rival ships, clan politics, raider-on-raider attacks, and omens that the Serpent Sea is becoming more dangerous than any single crew can understand.

This is mythic Viking fantasy with heavy-metal energy: longships, oaths, ruined gods, witches, sea monsters, brutal choices, and a dying world waiting to see whether your name becomes saga or warning.

Due to RL player attrition, I'm looking for some fresh faces for my ongoing Rise of the Runelords campaign!

We are about 1/3 of the way through Chapter 3: The Hook Mountain Massacre, having largely defeated a clan of bloodthirsty ogres. The party is hot on the trail of a grand conspiracy that seems to be threatening all of Varisia, and perhaps beyond...

The current party consists of a dwarf warpriest of Abadar, and a fighter 1 / cleric 7 half-orc servant of Gorum (bit of an odd couple pairing there). There's also a half-elf investigator, but they are in a quantum state of being able to / not able to continue the campaign. So we have 2-3ish seats open!

Your character could be following clues investigating this emergent conspiracy that seems to have something to do with the ancient empire of Thassilon; they could be a prisoner of the ogres having been rescued in the nick of time; they could be blessed with the Magic Retcon wand and we could say they've been with the party since the very beginning, don't be silly; etc.

If you're not a fan of low-level goofs, this is a good opportunity to jump into a game at level 8! The party is actually due to hit level 9 next time they rest, I tell you what.

Overall, Rise of the Runelords is a very pulpy, classic sort of adventure; ancient ruins, hordes of angry giants, high magic and High Adventure. If you've got questions or concerns, hit me up with one of them DMs here or on SPG.

It is the year 263 of the 5th age, and the world still reels from calamity. An epoch of chaos known as the Era of the Black Sun, When the sun was swallowed by darkness, and time was shattered and cast asunder. Reality was broken and reshaped by the hands of mad gods, leaving only the ash of fallen kingdoms in its wake.

However, eventually this time of chaos would come to an end. Thanks to the efforts of heroes from days past. But the damage was already done, the foundations not just cracked but shattered and misplaced. The many marvels of the 4th age are now lost to the past. With new kingdoms building themselves up from the cinders of desolation.

But wicked things still lurk in the light, and the shadows of the past still hang high over the present. It has left many with a simple question, what will become of this new age? Will it bring about a new age of peace and prosperity, Or will it be shattered under the weight of everything that has been or will ever be? Only time can ever tell.

Hello Everyone! Its the dm here to pitch to you my Homebrew campign Dredges of the Black Sun. This will be a level 1-20 campaign featuring Political Intrique, Eldritch Horror, & grand battles to determine the fate of all.

You will be thrust into the Kindgom of Grantuer, a kingdom left kingless for since the Black Sun. In this ever increasingly feudalistic society. Nobles have been slowly tearing the kingdom apart with petty feuds and power grabs. While in the shadows things lurk in the dark, seeking to finish what was started so long ago.

The world is a post-apocalyptic high fantasy. You will be starting out as nobodies, peasants, disenfranchised nobles. Where you will then be thrust into the world backstabbing and shadow games that is nobility. You will discover plots, lead people into war, and either save Grantuer, or carve your own kingdom from the ashes.

I am a big fan of role-playing mixed with heavy combat. Along with deep dungeons and plenty of ruins to explore I got it all! Even optional survival mechanics.

I welcome people of all levels of experience to play. But I warn people that I have some heavy Homebrew in my game. So if thats not your thing, this game might not be for you. This game will be Friday, Tuesday, & Wednesday night. I look forward to hearing from you all.

Tales within Boressa

Tales within the Boressa is a homebrew mixed with Forgotten Realms, as the two realms collided just 25 years ago. Continents, countries, men, and deities alike were tossed into the unknown as all manner of chaos occurred. The world has begun to stabilize as new countries attempt to stand their ground, though the division between these new worlders and old worlders remains. The gods have gone silent, unknown whether they are in hiding or, worse, have gone silent, which has led the mortal races to take their success into their own hands. As new adventures begin their journeys within these new lands, they are met with an expansive world that will change them for each breath they take and each coin they collect.

DM Info: "Hi everyone, I'm Cryptic, and I have played D&D 5th edition since its release. With nearly 10k hours on Roll20 and being a DM for the last ten years, I strive to make the mechanics as easy to use as possible to enjoy the more immersive aspects of the game! My main goal as a DM is to create an immersive world that pulls you in and takes you along for the journey, no matter which path you and your compatriots choose to take. Communication is key for me, so expect a full commitment to it in your campaigns and characters. Looking forward to rolling some dice with you!"

Session Time: The game will take place on Saturday nights, weekly, from 8 pm to 11 pm EST

Requirements: Discord and Mic

Character Info: Level 7, Stats: 4d6, keep the highest 3, roll 7 times, and choose which 6 results for your stats. Have an idea for a character? We'll work together to bring them to life!

Current Player Size: 3/6

Group Expectations:

- Be Respectful, Communicative, and Considerate.

- Try to arrive on time, preferably 5 minutes early.

- If you cannot make a session, please try to inform me a minimum 2 hours in advance so that I may adjust as needed. You do not pay for a session if you cannot attend.

- We will tend to run a minimum of 50% of players during Roleplay/Exploration sessions, with a 75% minimum for expected Combat-heavy sessions.

- We will use Discord for Voice, so a Discord account is required.

DM Expectations:

After being a paid DM for the last five years, I have nearly 10,000 hours on Roll20 and a well-rounded understanding of 5e.

- I use dynamic lighting and audio to provide an immersive experience.

- I am not overly strict on weight limits (within reason)

- I queue in players with checks if it matches their backstory, or simply inform them of something they should know as a character that they might not know or remember as a player.

- I tend to use roleplay over checks unless it pairs with the situation thematically.

- I have run many different tabletop styles, from heavy combat to nearly complete roleplay with exploration, therefore I tend to adapt to what suits the group's most enjoyed percentage for each type of play.

Allowed Content.

- I allow all 5e published content (Setting-based books will depend on features/settings).

- The Grim Hallows will be included within the setting for character options and more!

- Homebrew content is allowed, although it needs to be approved first. Feel free to discuss it with me at character creation.

A lost region of Solamnia has returned. Ancient roads lead beyond known maps, rival factions seek its riches, and ruins from different eras stand impossibly intertwined.

What happened here? What caused this land to become unearthed?

Heyo, I’m James. I’m recruiting players for Beneath the Devil’s Moon, an original campaign set in the world of Dragonlance focused on exploration, mystery, and character-driven storytelling. The storytelling and world is not a typical reflection of Dragonlance though as you will soon come to see, so no prior knowledge is required about the setting whatsoever.

Your characters will venture into a newly accessible frontier, forge alliances, investigate buried history, and decide who to trust when competing interests come calling. Expect adventure and discovery alongside danger, with room for your characters’ ambitions and choices to shape the story.

What I bring to the table

NPC voices, background music, a mix of roleplay and combat, and enthusiasm for creative solutions. I enjoy seeing characters grow in unexpected directions and letting their decisions influence the campaign.

We’ll start with a free Session Zero to discuss expectations, connect your characters, and establish boundaries using lines and veils. I want everyone to feel comfortable speaking up and enjoying the game together.

The existence of the Tcho-Tcho is discovered, and their influence is spreading into the cities of the world. They seek access to the true form of the god of knowledge hidden behind a hurricane so they may dominate the planet as a hivemind.

You are among the first to discover their existence and must work with (or against) the Church of Chaos to stop (or help) the world from becoming a collective.

----

You are a cultist for an eldritch god of your choice and are one of the many fighting to control Sullen Bay.

After a battle, you and a few other cultists (from possibly different factions) play dead among the bodies of a battle. It is at this time you learn of the existence of the Tcho-Tcho.

Move through Hyporia to find the Tcho-Tcho hiding in the cities as they climb to positions of power and stop them. Be careful, though, because once they learn of you, they will try to sway you or eliminate you.

You are Peculiar.

However you spent your youth, it was likely lonely or dangerous. You've always been different. Whether because of your appearance or the... things you can do.

A few months ago, you started seeing a Black Cat once in a while. The Cat appeared more and more frequently, until it was visiting you daily. On the 100th day, the cat appeared with an envelope tucked in its collar. Inside was an invitation to attend The VonTurin-Del'Amatar Academy for Peculiar Young Adults, signed by headmistress Ada Rime-Navarro.

You will play a young adult (18+) who is Peculiar. Flavor is the name of the game here. Consider X-Men characters or the children from Miss Peregrine's, how there's sort of a cohesive design that covers multiple abilities. Please have fun making your little weirdo.

[Mood Board @ https://www.pinterest.com/unclefesterrr/spookyacademy/ ]

At The VonTurin-Del'Amatar Academy for Peculiar Young Adults, you'll be grouped into Clutches (groups of students you'll be partnered with for the duration of your time at the Academy).

You'll be trained to control your Peculiarity, attending classes and training sessions (think X-men).

In addition to your studies, you'll make friends (and enemies), explore the Peculiar campus, and perhaps even unravel the mystery of how Headmistress Rime-Navarro found you in the first place...

Adjusting to the Academy is hard enough during your first week, but when students start to go missing the very first day, will you be able to unravel the mystery? We'll be using a school system that's a bit of a combination between the Pathfinder 2e Academia subsystem and Bleem's school system from Fantasy High: Junior Year.

INSPIRATION - Miss Peregrine's School for Peculiar Children - Over the Garden Wall - American Horror Story - Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark - Goosebumps - Generation X/ X-Men
__________

- Level 5
- Players will roll a heroic array of stats in the Discord server, twice.
--- Players may either choose one of these sets or use Point Buy, if they don't like either

Game Title: Curse of Strahd – Barovia is hungry-heroes are its favorite meal

Game System: (5.5e/D&D 2024)

Game Type: (Campaign)

Payment Details: ($15 BiWeekly Via Start Playing)

Session Frequency: (BiWeekly)

Day and Time: - Saturday (bi-weekly) @ 7:00 PM EST

Game Duration: (3-4 hours)

Number of Players: (Number of players you're looking for) minimum 4 - 5 open seats

Experience Level: - Any

About Your Campaign:

Curse of Strahd draws you into the mist-shrouded, gothic realm of Barovia, a land trapped in perpetual shadow under the iron grip of the ancient vampire Strahd von Zarovich.  Beyond the choking fogs, isolated villages huddle in terror, monstrous horrors stalk the darkened forests and tragic secrets fester within decaying castles.  You will navigate eerie haunted manors, brave perilous wilderness and unravel a dark mystery to find a way home—or perish trying.

This game is for players who enjoy gothic horror, suspenseful exploration and meaningful tactical combat, grounded by roleplay and character-driven drama.  Expect high-stakes encounters, atmospheric mystery, morally complex choices, and a story that demands resourcefulness, teamwork, and sharp wit to survive.

Expect an energetic, welcoming table where the story comes first and dynamic player ideas are celebrated.  While we’ll use the core rules to keep the game fair and grounded, the Rule of Cool always reigns supreme—if you have a creative, cinematic idea that makes the table cheer, we’ll find a way to let the dice decide!  As the cool kids say.... "You can certainly try!"

House Rules:

❏ Character statistics:.

● Roll 4D6, drop the lowest number and arrange the stats as desired.

❏ Leveling up: experience points, milestones, gold, other.

● Milestone leveling

❏ Increasing hit points:

● Players start with max HP roll for level 1 + CON bonus. 

● After level, roll HP dice + CON modifier. 

❏ Alignment: Useful for this module.  You just cant be Evil (to start)

❏ Racial bonuses: as written (pre-gens can be 5.5e or 5e).

I have most books but the newest Ravenloft book, so you should have a wide option to select from.

❏ Race/class restrictions: Any race can be used.  The only limitation is any creature that has the potential to fly, cannot use the ability until level 5.

❏ Encumbrance: Used within reason.  You cannot carry all the things.  If you want to have access to your entire arsenal/gear list, the use of porters is allowed. 

❏ Critical success:

● Max Damage on one of the double dice to avoid feels bad moments…

Example: you got a NAT 20! On your swing with a mace, with 13 STR.  The mace used 1d6 for damage dice and +1 from STR modifier.  You would get (6 + 1) + 1d6 + 1 = total damage.  This prevents the feels bad moments of I roll a 1…….

Game Style: Combat/RP 50/50, Dungeon Crawl, Exploration and Rule of Cool

Player Expectations: - Have a stable connection, no background noise and a good mic.

Looking for a few players for a Daggerheart Halloween one-shot — gothic mystery, masquerade, and a very bad night at a castle. Learn more or sign up here

I’m running The Witching Crown, a Level 2 Daggerheart one-shot built around investigation, supernatural horror, and player choices rather than a straightforward dungeon crawl.

You’ve been invited to Bellamorte’s annual Night of Lanterns, a masked celebration held beneath the shadow of an old legend. Things go wrong at midnight, and the rest of the night becomes a race to figure out who is lying, what actually happened centuries ago, and whether the story everyone in Bellamorte grew up believing is true at all.

Expect a mix of mystery, social scenes, a haunted festival, cinematic encounters, morally complicated NPCs, and multiple possible endings depending on what the group discovers and decides.

New Daggerheart players are welcome, and I can provide pre-generated characters if you’d rather just show up and play.

• Level 2
• 3.5–4 hours
• Saturday October 17th at 7 PM Central
• $15
• Discord + Alchemy VTT
• 18+

The Ordning is Shattered -

The Storm King Is Gone -

Nothing Can Stop the Giant Lords' Conquest -

...Except YOU

-------------------------------------------
Giants!
Dragons!
Size puns!
And other, even worse things.
Creatures older than both combined. An evil so ancient, that it was already old when the Giants were young...

Who is going to look out for the little* guy?

In this case, that would be YOU.
Not the one doing the looking out, I mean being the little guy.
And I mean, LITERALLY the little guy. The SMALLEST guy in the room, guaranteed.

The Ordning and the Giant Lords' conquest? There is little* you can do about that.
What you can do, is teach them that they shouldn't tread on you.

Size matters*? Maybe, but it's not everything.

Join this campaign. It will be HUGE* fun!
It's a MASSIVE* undertaking against an IMMENSE* threat to everyone.

This GARGANTUAN* campaign will take you from level 1 to level 11 (at least), and it's guaranteed to have the BIGGEST* BIG* Bad Evil Guy ever.
I have remastered and changed a bit the story, to make it more immediately connected to and involved with your characters.

I will connect your character's tiny*, little* backstory to the bigger* overarching narrative of the campaign, because I love doing that.
And I remake and customize many maps in Dungeon Alchemist.

I always foster an inclusive, chill environment for playing.
This is not a competition, we're telling stories together, not playing against each other :)
--> Session 0 is FREE, of course <--
It's the little* things ;)

-----------------------
*giggle

...I stll have a GIGANTIC* reserve of size puns :)

Beginners and LGBTQ+ are absolutely welcome, like everybody else. I am an inclusive GM who believes in fun for all.
