About the adventure

The Kingdom of Koringaurd calls for the aid of brave souls looking to explore a newly discovered continent! Legend has it that this new continent is brimming with riches, but this adventure is not for the faint of heart, as rumors have it that this land is riddled with strange and dangerous creatures. Do you have what it takes to explore this land, learn its secrets and establish civility to the land? Join now!

This game involves the exploration of a newly discovered continent. This land, once hidden by fog is rumored to have plenty of riches and plenty of chances to prove one's worth. We will be using Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition but I will also be using Dr. Dhrolin's Dictionary of Dinosaurs, a third party monster manual featuring a large number of dinosaurs and prehistoric creatures. In this campaign, you will explore this new land, either as a emissary from the kingdom of Koringaurd, or as a native of the continent. I am a paleontologist in real life, and I am excited to combine both of my passions with this campaign. This game is perfect for both experienced and new players, featuring 5e's base rules, as well as a healthy amount of homebrew. I am looking for 2 to 4 players for this campaign. Please reach out if this game sounds like fun! I have Dr. Dhrolin's Dictionary of Dinosaurs, so it is not required for you to have it and I will provide relevant information from it so you will have access to the races and sub classes within it. Characters will start at level 1 with players reaching somewhere between level 10 to 15 by the end of the campaign.

Final Note: The campaign, as it is likely obvious, features heavy themes of colonialism. I understand that this subject can be a sensitive issue for some people. I completely understand and recognize this fact. As such, I want it overtly known that the colonizing party will not be good. There may be characters that either mean well or are blinded by propaganda to assume the opposite, but I want to make it overtly clear that the colonizing force will not be a positive force in the world. Does that mean you can't side with them, absolutely not, if that is what you desire for your character, so be it. I just wanted to make this fact clear.

We will do a session 0 for the campaign and this session zero will not be a paid session.

Additional details

How to prepare

The only requirement is a discord account, a roll20 account and a working microphone. I will provide a discord link to the server before session zero.

What I provide

I will provide both a discord server and a Roll 20 server, where we will handle dice rolls and character sheets. I thrive with the rule of cool. If something wouldn't work mechanically, but would fit the story, I will change how the rules work so we all can have a bit more fun. I also like to use different voices for different NPCs. I will also provide a PDF version of Dr. Dhrolin's Dictionary of Dinosaurs.

Gameplay details

I will send a form fillable pdf of a consent checklist I found works best for me. We will also be doing a session zero where we will discuss topics that will be touched on within the game, including themes within players backstories. We will also be using this to discuss expectations for the campaign and go over what actions between players will require consent and what can be done freely.

How will character creation work

We will go over character creation during session 0, if you would like to generate an idea for what you'd like to play, you may use all official dnd 5e content, the blood hunter class as well as all of the blood magic subclasses from Matt Mercer. I will also be providing my own homebrew class that is currently going through playtesting. This class is called the witch. It is a full caster that has been taught magic by hags, powerful fae creatures. The final homebrew I am allowing is everything within Dr. Dhrolin's Dictionary of Dinosaurs, this will include several dinosaur based races as well as subclasses. These are jus the homebrew I will OK automatically, if there is something else you want to use, please let me know.
