The land of Theros is a land of mystery, wonder and glory. Shaped by the Gods, the peoples of Theros thrive off of the tales of heroes who have shaped the history of the land for generations. Many cultures of Theros honor these tales with contests of strength, will, intellect and the arts, the most famous being the Great Iroan Games held in Akros. However, to the south, the polis of Meletis, said by many to be the center of Therosian civilization and advanced thought, have announced their intentions to hold their own series of contests to potentially rival the Iroan Games; The Epharan Games. Promoters of the games promise opportunities for applicants to showcase not only their martial and physical skills, but also their artistic and intellectual prowess. Those that triumph shall win glory for themselves, their polis, and treasures beyond their grandest dreams. 

However, the lead up to the games have been marred by a cloud of uncertainty. From across Theros, rumors of strange occurrences such as golden masked returned harassing travelers and rising tensions between Akros and the Phoberos threaten to dampen the celebratory mood of the games. Despite this, mortals from across the land are flocking to the city of Meletis for the chance to compete, or simply to witness this historical contest.

Greetings! Thank you for taking the time to check out my post here. This will be the second campaign that I am running in the Theros setting. I really appreciate your interest and am excited to begin the application process.

First off, a little about me:

• I’m a big dramatic goofball, and I believe this will definitely show in my DM style. So while I do plan on having serious moments in this campaign, there will be plenty of silliness as well.

• If I make a mistake, I apologize. This will be my second campaign and I hope I will make as few mistakes as possible. But in the event that I do, I would love for you to help me out if you can. Now that being said, if it looks like we will get bogged down in rules analysis, we will move on and address it later in DMs on Discord. I have come to admire the “rule of cool,” so if I make a mistake, but that mistake led to some cool stuff happening in the game, we will probably move on.

• Above all, I want everyone to have a good time. I was attracted to this setting because of the chance to play as heroic characters in an epic Greek myth. I hope that you all walk away from each session feeling like you just took part in one of the epic classics like the Iliad and the Odyssey. I know I am looking forward to playing the pantheon of gods you will be interacting with throughout this adventure.

Some things about the campaign:

• The party will start at Lvl 1.

• This game will consist of about 60/40 to 70/30 RP vs Combat. However, I think even in combat there are chances for RP, so be ready for anything!

• This will be an 18+ campaign. I am an adult, therefore I would prefer to DM for players closer to my age bracket.

• There will be some mature themes in this campaign. Nothing NSFW and we will discuss limits together as a group and one on one.

• We will be containing the race options for characters to the following; Humans, Centaurs, Leonin, Minotaurs, Satyrs and Tritons. This is both to simplify things for me as the DM and to maintain the Ancient Greek flavor. (I will of course stress the usage of Ancient Greek Name Generator fir characters! LOL!)

• This campaign is LGBTQ+ friendly. There will be LGBTQ+ NPCs, so therefore there may be LGBTQ+ players. (It is Ancient Greece after all).

• Above all, as stated before, we want to have a good time. We will discuss as a group what we are all comfortable with, but I am open to most ideas within reason.
