When: Sundays, 7 PM PDT (can be a little flexible on weekend times, but this works best for me)
Where: Online (Discord) and maybe some VTT
Open Slots: 4-6 (will prioritize pre-established groups)
The Setting: Welcome to Avalar, a land of adventure, intrigue, and mystery. Our story begins in the city-state of Valor, a prosperous city where many individuals of all different races gather for their various pursuits. While the city has known great prosperity for the better part of a couple of generations, a darkness creeps in the corners of the kingdom - rumors of a blight spreading amongst the commoners in the surrounding countryside has raised alarm amongst the country and city-folk alike; a plague has taken root in the slums and while contained for now, healers and Mages alike are puzzled by it’s sudden appearance and strange symptoms; raids against travelling merchants and farmlands from orcs and goblins have increased, spreading the Templar’s forces thin; and the Mages appear troubled by the sudden eruption in dangerous and prohibited magics dedicated to the worship of some unknown god.
The Templars, the primary defense force for Valor, have put out a recruitment call for all adventurers, or would be adventurers, with the promise of fame, fortune, and notoriety. Will you answer the call? Will you pass the test of the Templars and uncover the mysteries that seem to afflict the kingdom, and possibly beyond?
Background: I am fitness and combat sports coach/trainer in my regular life and I have been wanting to combine my passion for training, fitness, and wellness into my nerdy life of gaming and RPGs. I have an idea of combining everyday actions/habits into benefits in a campaign; basically, a player’s everyday actions will have positive (or maybe even negative) effects on their character in game. I am still figuring out balance and everything, so I’m looking for feedback and willing to make adjustments as necessary. Want to add that feat to your character? Then let’s grab a few weights! Need that extra point Dex? Let’s get a run/hike in! Hit a PR while at the gym? Maybe your character finds a magical item in the next session. The point is to make fitness and nutrition fun and beginners, both to fitness and D&D, are totally welcome.
About Me: I am a fitness and combat sports trainer who has a lifelong love of all things nerdy. As an athlete who’s competed at all levels, I am transitioning into more of a coaching role and looking to work with people who were/are like me. I’ve been training pretty much my entire life, with a long history of competition for the past 20+ years. I’ve been coaching professionally for 10+ years now and coached both in person and online. I’ve worked with complete beginners who knew nothing about fitness/nutrition, and seasoned professionals looking to compete at the National and World level.
In the D&D world, I’ve been playing 5e exclusively for the past 10 years and have DM’ed for the past 5. I’ve played in some of the published modules (Icewind Dale, Dragonlance, died in Strahd, died twice in Descent into Avernus) as well as multiple homebrew worlds. I’ve DM’ed mostly my homebrew campaigns and am looking to build a world with players and create a rich and fun environment for everyone. I believe in the collaborative storytelling element of D&D while providing a fun mix of RP elements, puzzles, and challenging combat encounters. I love working with my players to incorporate their backstories and characters into the greater lore of the world and campaign we’re creating.
