About The Game
~Druskenvald is a land of life, death, and rebirth. Expired souls from the mortal planes often find themselves here, joined into The Cycle where death is never final. Lately, though, something has changed, heralded by the discovery of a strange body on the beaches of Ibbsmouth. The Cycle has been interrupted and now the dead stay buried. You've been hired- or, rather, enticed- by the sudden appearance of a mysterious letter signed only by a strange symbol, beseeching you to investigate this scene. Oddly enough, when you arrive to investigate, the body isn't there- yet.~
This game is going to dive deeply into trigger heavy content and dark themes. The comfort of everyone at the table is of the utmost importance to me so we will be using an array of safety tools to keep everyone safe. If the Saw movies make you queasy or true crime keeps you up at night, this might not be the game for you. Moments of levity are important to keep us sane, but a vast majority of this game will be held in the depths of despair.
(CW: Cryptid like monsters, Clinical details/Implication of SA, Implication of torture, heavy themes of death, contact me for more)
Sessions are $20/player through StartPlaying.
About The Table
We currently have 2/6 seats available as we head into Session 1 tomorrow. We're a very friendly, inclusive group who love to invite new people and new players of any experience level. We aren't just a D&D Group looking for players, we're friends looking for more friends.
Party Comp is currently a Magical Stick (Artifact Transformation, Fairy, Lunar Sorc), a Traumatized Brawler with Teeth (Vampire Transformation, Dhampir, Relentless Revenant Pugilist), Frankenstein's Knight (Reborn, Carver Monster Hunter), and a Painfully Optimistic Doctor (Human, Homebrew Surgeon Physician)
Characters will start at level 3. Stats will be rolled using the 4d6, drop the lowest method, with the option to reroll your lowest stat. You may choose to use standard array or point buy if opposed to rolling. You'll also need a free level 1 feat.
The world is going to be very magic item light.
I would like to stream this campaign but if ANYONE is uncomfortable doing so, we will play as normal in private so don't let that discourage you from joining.
We've already passed Session 0 so we'll schedule a private session 0 to do character creation and go over lines and veils and any other important information you missed.
About Amalthyon
Hi, I'm Amalthyon! You can also call me Ama.
I'm a very player focused GM and enjoy relying on character backstory for big plot points and rely heavily on a network of safety tools to ensure everyone is comfortable and having a good time. Roleplay and dynamic combats are my bread and butter. Mystery and intrigue are my go to frameworks for plot, and combats usually have more than one objective. I love creating a safe space out of character that welcomes player characters to engage in emotionally intense scenes and conflicts.
Aftercare and frequent check ins are key for providing the comfort and safety needed! I have over a decade of experience GMing dungeons and dragons. I started out with 3.5 when I was a teenager and moved to 5e shortly after it was published. I've been dabbling with the 2024 edition in home games since it was published as well, but 5e is really where I live.
I pride myself on creating a safe and inclusive environment to ensure the comfort of my players in order to encourage intense roleplay experiences. Balancing high stakes emotional scenes with comedic relief enables this. I enjoy creating unique and interesting NPCs, curating playlists for every occasion, utilizing various maps and handouts, and providing character art for key NPCs.
What You'll Need
To prepare, you'll need to have a Discord account for audio and general communications. I will provide a link for the Discord server we will use.
We're currently using Foundry for our VTT and I'll provide the link to join the sessions. You won't need an account or anything like that, but it does work best in Chrome and requires a computer.
Character sheets can be made on D&D Beyond to have access to a majority of the 2014, and some of the 2024 books, for character creation, but I also have all resources available in Foundry. I'll provide the link for that as well.
Once you have character art, you'll need to set it up in Fugitech. I'll provide a walkthrough on how to do this if you need help.
The link for the Lines and Veils document will be provided as well. Please take your time filling this out as it is very important, especially for this campaign.
