Description:
Evil stirs in the ancient elven realm of Calenoth, and heroes are needed to turn the tide. Will you answer the call and carve your name into the history of this mythical land? Join fellow adventurers in a world where every choice matters. Forge alliances, face powerful foes, and uncover hidden treasures among the ancient forest’s secrets. Will you learn the magic of the Eldar, or fall to the growing demonic threat from the Night Door? The fate of Calenoth rests in your hands. Will you rise—or let darkness escape once more?

Tone and Rating: This PG-13 game features dark undertones, adult language, and violence, creating an immersive yet accessible experience. Expect a blend of heroic adventure with moments of intense drama, balanced by lighter, plucky moments of buddy-comedy.

Gameplay Focus: We balance combat, roleplay, and exploration, offering players a variety of ways to engage with the world. Whether you solve problems through diplomacy or take on enemies in battle, every decision shapes the story.

Player Experience: This game is best suited for 5e players with some experience using virtual tabletops (VTTs). We make room for character backstories and rich roleplay, allowing both comedic and serious character moments to shine. The adventurers are true heroes in this world, and we encourage creative solutions to conflicts—both violent and non-violent.

Player Policies: We uphold a strict no-conflict player policy. That means no stealing from party members and no player-versus-player (PVP) combat. The focus is on collaborative storytelling and teamwork. The max table size is 6 players. We will start playing once we reach 4 players.

Character Creation: This campaign uses the 2024 Player’s Handbook exclusively. All characters must be built using this book alone, with no homebrew or older content allowed. If you’re looking for the latest 5e experience, this is it. We will build characters during and after session Zero, before session One.

What do you need to play:
I provide everything you need to play. You only need free accounts on the apps listed above. A quality microphone and headphones are encouraged. A webcam is encouraged. So is a quiet distraction free place to play when we adventure.

Other Notes: This is a mini campaign that is intended to run ~18 sessions or about nine months. We will explore the characters you want to play, ponder their motivations and then I will create a tailored campaign for them inside the game world. Your input matters and will influence your group experience.
