A Villain-Ruled World of Broken Fairy Tales

System: D&D 5e

Schedule: Sundays, starting either 1pm CST

The World

The villains won.

The Red Queen rules a realm of masks and madness.
Maleficent’s thorns choke an entire kingdom in eternal sleep.
Queen Regina trades enchanted mirrors and secrets in equal order.
Neverland steals children and never gives them back.

This is the Forsaken Province.

A world where fairy tales were not redeemed. They were weaponized. Kingdoms are shaped by ambition, obsession, envy, hunger, and pride. Heroes still rise, but they rise in lands built by those who refused to lose.

Magic here is tied to the story. Identity matters. Reputation matters. Myths have weight. The world responds to those bold enough to reshape it.

You are not stepping into a prewritten module.
You are stepping into a living world already in motion.

And your characters will leave a mark.

What Makes This Different

This is not generic high fantasy with a darker coat of paint.

The Forsaken Province is a long-running, fully realized setting refined over years of play. Nations have distinct identities. Factions remember what you do. Power structures are layered and political. Fairy tale logic collides with real consequences.

You might:

• Undermine a tyrant from within their own court
• Broker peace between monster and noble houses
• Exploit villain politics for your own rise
• Build something new in a land that expects collapse
• Choose whether to oppose the rulers or become one

Your backstory will not sit on a shelf. It will integrate into the fabric of the world.

Shaping the Campaign

Nothing is locked in yet.

Session Zero determines:

• Which region we focus on
• Tone, political intrigue, dark fantasy, rebellion, high adventure, tragedy, ambition
• Party connections and shared history
• Themes the group wants to explore

The Forsaken Province supports:

• Court drama in the Rouge Vale
• Mirror-bound secrets in Mirror’s Edge
• Sea-bound survival in Argo Bay
• Industrial unrest in the Land of Our Lady
• Thorn-choked destiny in the Land of the Briar Rose
• Wild magic and madness in the Emerald Domain

You help decide where we begin. We’ve done political intrigue, eldritch horror, world-shattering catastrophes, and so much more.

This is a collaborative start, not a railroad.

About Me

I go by Pun.

I have been running games for over 10 years and professionally for more than 5. I have completed 3 full campaigns, from level 1 to 20, that ran over 4 years each. A fourth is in its finale right now! My other tables are long-running and stable.

Worldbuilding has been part of my life since childhood. The Forsaken Province is the result of years of iteration, collaboration, and refinement at the table.

This is my full-time profession. I prepare between sessions. I track arcs. I invest in character growth.

Stories finish here.

My Style

Story-first and character-driven
Cinematic rulings over rigid crunch
Deep backstory integration
Long-term payoff
Clear communication
Collaborative tone building

I run serious moments seriously. I welcome humor where it fits. I care about earned victories and meaningful consequences.

The villains built this world.

The question is whether you will survive it, challenge it, or claim a throne of your own.
