The Campaign

Set in Charneault, a land shaped by ancient pacts, knightly traditions, Fey, and old fairytales. The campaign explores the tension between Duty and Desire, and what happens when either is taken too far. Knights and the Fey are central to the setting, story, and conflicts.

The campaign begins 15 years before the main events with a short prologue using a premade Level 6 character. Afterwards, you'll create your own character at Level 1 for the main campaign, from Levels 1 to 9, potentially reaching Level 10+.

What to Expect

This is a narrative and character-focused campaign where roleplay, character arcs, and meaningful choices and consequences matter. Combat can be challenging, but the campaign isn't designed to kill characters simply for the sake of being grimdark or "edgy".

Exploration, travel, survival, and resource management are important parts of the game. Some spells, and abilities will be changed or removed to support these mechanics, while others may be removed for being overpowered, underpowered, or being tonally inconsisitent. This includes certain spells, classes, subclasses, and feats.

This isn't a campaign for optimised builds, and multiclassing will not be available. However, Grim Hollow's Transformation mechanics will be available for anyone who wants to explore them. 

Mature Themes

The campaign explores mature dark-fantasy themes including sex, nudity, exploitation, abuse of power, obsession, temptation, violence, torture, death, child endangerment, and fantasy discrimination.

Sex and nudity may be part of the story, including flirting, relationships, or embarrassing situations. Everyone's boundaries around them will be discussed before play, from simply mentioning them to fading to black.

Darker themes such as violence, torture, abuse, exploitation, and fantasy discrimination may be explored to different degrees depending on everyone's comfort. Sexual violence is never treated as acceptable or played out and may only be referenced as a background element or aftermath. If something goes too far, we'll stop and discuss it.

Characters are ultimately the light in a dark world. Duty, desire, indulgence, and restraint are all part of the story, and your characters can embrace their desires, uphold their obligations, or take either too far. That freedom does not mean characters or players can behave immorally or disrespectfully without consequences. Confronting, resisting, or overcoming the darker elements of the world is ultimately part of being a hero.

Applying

Applications are completed through a Google Form questionaire. I'll review the responses and contact selected applicants through Discord for a one-on-one conversation. 

Just a heads up, I'm only looking for one player, so completing the form doesn't neccessarily guarantee an interview.
