Call to Arms: Join Our Dark High-Fantasy Adventure on Fantasy Grounds! (EARLY ACCESS Campaign Playtest)

Greetings, brave souls!

Are you ready to explore a realm of mystery, magic, and peril? I’m a passionate DM with under two years of experience—and even less time mastering Fantasy Grounds—but my love for D&D burns brighter than ever. With loads creativity and a heart for adventure, I’ve crafted a homebrew D&D 5e 2024 Ruleset campaign that will challenge and inspire you. I'm Looking for some players to playtest the content and help finish crafting our world with!

Campaign Setting:
Welcome to a desolate world—a land once teeming with life now ruined by unknown, ancient powers. The remnants of civilization whisper secrets of a forgotten glory and a cataclysm that reshaped the realm. In this dark high-fantasy setting, the very fabric of existence trembles with uncertainty, and the shadows conceal both danger and opportunity.

Your Destiny Awaits:
You and your fellow adventurers awaken with a newfound purpose—a spark of hope in a forsaken land. Will you dare to uncover the mysteries behind the devastation? Can you rally the remnants of a shattered world, forge alliances, and confront the enigmatic forces that have reshaped reality? Your choices will shape the fate of an entire realm.

Expected Campaign Length
- So one of the cool things im trying is that this campaign is kind of drop-in/drop-out in a way and it allows for somene to play from levels 1-20, or to play 1-3, take a break, and come back for levels 5-8 another time or two.
- The total length is probably somewhere around the 8 Months - 1 Year mark, if session are at an average pace and bi-weekly.
- You do NOT have to play the entire campaign to experience it, or have fun from it. I am logging and storybooking most things so events will at least be marked and tracked for you, although i would love to see a dedicated party :) !

Why Join This Campaign?
- Innovative Homebrew Experience: Enjoy a ruleset tailored for the daring and the bold, blending classic D&D mechanics with fresh, creative twists.
- Immersive VTT Play: Dive into the dynamic environment of Fantasy Grounds, where digital maps and virtual dice bring the adventure to life.
- Collaborative Storytelling: Even with my novice status, I’m committed to crafting memorable, player-driven narratives that evolve based on your decisions and ingenuity.

If you’re eager to embrace the thrill of exploration, mystery, and epic battles in a world on the brink of transformation, then sharpen your weapons and steady your resolve. This journey is not for the faint of heart—but for those ready to write history with every roll of the dice.

Time Slots
We usually play any of our session no earlier than 3pm EST and try not to start later than 11pm EST. The exact time will vary from group to group but we will do our best to reach an amicable outcome! As far as days we aim for it can vary but we try to choose one of the following days: Monday, Thursday, Friday, Weekends

tl;dr : 3pm-11pm EST time zone start time | Monday, Thursday, Friday, Weekends | Games can range from 1.5 hours-4hours, all depends on the players, the content i have prepared, and how much fun everyone is having!

Answer the Call:
Reply below or send me a message to join this daring expedition into the unknown. Together, we will carve legends in a realm reborn from darkness!

Side Note
This campaign isn't due to start for at least another 4 Days - 1 week , just as a heads-up. Mainly to find a working schedule before playing and to allow for my own preperations as I am also running the creator/developer group through the content to work out some of the larger kinks of our Module! I'd also like to make sure we could have 3-5 players locked in for this run before we dedicate to it! A Mic and Discord are not required, but heavily encouraged if you are comfortable being in a discord group of us! Please keep all this in mind with the delayed start time, Thanks!

This campaign features a custom built homebrew module that only references the player handbook for certain things.

May fortune favor the bold—see you in the shadows!


UPDATE
I have enough people considered for my first group and am keen on starting a session 0-1 next week! I will be sending out messages here on FG or any other platforms we may have linked on and I'll make sure to let you know specifics and times and such, that being said im still looking for a few for the remainder of a second group that will operate on a separate time table than the rest (same timeslots from above) in order to provide a smooth scheduling experience for us all a bit more.

UPDATE 2
A work schedule on my end happened to reallllyyy put a dent in my schedule so it took me a bit to adjust and make space for everything but i am back and more ready than ever! you should be expecting contact from me, if you haven't had it recently!

I would be interested in joining. I have a character that might fit in the dark atmosphere very well... Not evil, but defiantly a "sometimes do very bad things for a very good reason" type of character vibe with a past that he is afraid of being revealed and how others will see him.

I should be able to join at those times.

I would be interested in joining your game, particularly if it runs on Friday's or Saturdays. I am retired and I play in, or run, game on other days of the week.

I am a very collaborative player and I enjoy the role play aspects of the game and the character development/world building that role play spawns. I've played D&D since 1985 and have played all editions since 2e.

Let me know if I can be a member of this party.
