Set during The Golden Age of Hollownest, explore the sprawling underground, bug inhabited world filled with colorful characters, peculiar monsters (that are also bugs) and see the sights of The Pale King's great kingdom.
Hello everyone! My name is Murphy, I'm a very new DM with not a lot of experience, but have been wanting to write my own campaign for years, this campaign is based off my favorite game, Hollow Knight, and will be pretty heavily homebrewed, with new bug races that I would prefer all the players to play as, and many homebrewed monster from the videogame itself.
Please be aware that I'm still in the process of writing the campaign, and still am an amateur when it comes to running games, but I'm planning to have a two part session 0, part one is making everyone's characters with the bug races partially homebrewed and picking classes and backgrounds and such, I'll give you insight into each races origin and the lands they come from, as well as knowledge on the homebrew deities of this world called "Higher Beings" which I've loosely interpreted from the lore of Hollow Knight as well if you aren't familiar with the lore of Hollow Knight. Part 2 of session 0 will be held in the form of a oneshot taking place in Hollownest to see how everyone plays together and so I can get a feel for the characters and continue writing the campaign. This is really meant to be more of a playtest.
Sessions are pretty much set to happen on Wednesdays at 5:00pm cst after we have our session 0 and I write enough for us to start. We'll be using Discord and Roll20.
I'm looking for 4-5 players, any experience really, I just ask that you not debate me about my homebrew lore for the campaign and interpretations of certain things from the original game and stuff like that. Also players must be 18+. I'll go over everyone's applications tomorrow evening and try to get in contact with people then.

Name- Age- Pronouns- Additional Info you'd like to add if any- Favorite class- Best and/or worst D&D moment if you've had one- Timezone-
Name- Praedyth Age- 18 Pronouns- they/them Additional Info you'd like to add- children taste best lightly seared with a fruity sauce Favorite class- I dont know yet Best and/or worst D&D moment if you've had one- dont have any :c Timezone- GMT
Name- Pharis Age- 24 Pronouns- He/Him/They Additional Info you'd like to add if any- Willing to provide any but nothing really worth mentioning as of now. Favorite class- Warlock, because there are si manh things and different characters you can make with this one class. Best and/or worst D&D moment if you've had one- Worst, the dreaded 'get really invested into a game with a unique concept with a niche system then 4 sessions in the GM just ditches it' syndrome except its an entire year if it (love 2020...). Best(?), not really any because I tend to just enjoy good games/parties in general. Timezone- Central US Standard, UST -6
That feel when someone's about to run quite possibly your most anticipated campaign and you can't join because you turn 18 in half a year. In all seriousness though good luck, I hope you have fun. As you could probably tell from the name, I love HK and I bet a campaign in this setting is going to be amazing.
If you ever consider running this campaign I would be ecstatic to join! I am a huge Hollow Knight fan, but a dnd beginner. I have a good basic understanding though. I watch a lot of videos. And if you did already successfully run the campaign I would love access to session notes if you have any.
