Plot

Sands of Secrets: The Sadaniyah Desert is full of many mysteries. From the machinations of the elite, to the elusive ruins of the past. Along the journey will be revelations to the deep and ancient cultures of the region. All to peer beyond the veil of the desert's greatest mystery, The Shrouded Oasis. The desert is a harsh environment that will not hand over its secrets to the faint of heart.

The story starts with a simple cargo run from the oasis settlement of Matriya, to the southern town of Thrilimland, Janaa. Where the adventure goes from there is up to the players, as many plot hooks will present themselves. The desert has much to explore, and more to discover.

Details

This campaign will be broken up into "seasons" that will last for about 20 sessions each. At the end of a season, the campaign will be paused for no more than 3 weeks to allow myself to prepare for the next batch, while also giving any players an easy out if they are unsatisfied. Each session will be 3-4 hours long on average.

I charge $10 per player, per session. Session zero will be free of course, and if you do not find me to be the right kind of DM we can end at any point, no grudges. This campaign is LGBTQ+ friendly, and will use the Lines & Veils safety tool. I will mostly pick players on which day will have the most available, but if you have a prepared group I will prioritize that. I will only accept those that are 18+.

The setting of Vogard is high fantasy with some Final Fantasy-like elements. It is pre-gunpowder, so no firearms. This also means that I will not allow the Artificer. I am pretty liberal with character creation, so long as it isn't world breaking. A list of available races, classes, and subclasses will be provided near the start of the session 0. Homebrew outside of my own is unlikely to be approved, but I am very willing to work with a player to create something new. If you seek a more in-depth description of the world and my style, this link is an introduction to Vogard. I encourage players to consider some of the homebrew options that would fit the setting.

We will be playing over Discord voice chat, without cameras. Using Beyond for character sheets, as well as using Roll20 as our VTT. Stats will be selected through point buy. Hit points will be rolled when leveling, rerolling any 1's (and 2’s for classes with d10/d12 hit die). I have a fair amount of homebrew races and subclasses for those interested in playing something new.

If you are interested, you can message me at my Discord username is Meerkody. I will try to respond as soon as I'm available.

Edit: I have 4 people who can do this Tuesday evenings. Please read the most recent post I made on this thread.

I am also available for afternoon times on the the listed days. Starting around 1pm EST, if this time slot works better for people

This is still open. I have had one person express interest, they are able to do Sundays and Tuesdays. I am not committed to these days however, so if you're still interested and free other days of the week please hit me up!

Still open

Count me in!

I am still looking for players. Sunday has 2 people that could play, while Tuesday has 2-3 people

I added the edit to the post, but I am committing to Tuesdays as I have 3 people now for that day.

I’d be interested, if you’re still looking message me on discord: jam_gam

I'm interested! Is there still space? I'll message on discord

Updating this to say that I am running session 0 tomorrow, Tuesday September 19th, at 7:45pm EST. I have 4 players ready, but my 5th is not responding. I am looking for another person who might be interested in joining.
