Exandria (critical role) DND campaign

⚔️ ASHVANE — A WORLD WAITING TO BE WRITTEN > *“The world is already moving. The question is whether you move with it… or change its course.”* Hey! We’re looking for players to join **Ashvane**, a homebrew fantasy world built around **politics, war, factions, exploration, and player-driven storytelling.** Ashvane is a dark and gritty world inspired by the likes of **Game of Thrones and Lord of the Rings**, but with its own setting, history, factions, cities, conflicts, and secrets. 🌍 A WORLD YOU HELP BUILD Ashvane has a living world with established factions, cities, political tensions, wars, and ongoing conflicts—but not everything is written in stone. Some parts of the world are intentionally left open. **Why? Because your character gets to help fill them in.** Your backstory isn't just something the DM reads and forgets. Your character's homeland, connections, ambitions, enemies, allies, and history can become part of the world itself. The story isn't simply something that happens **to** your character. **You help decide what happens next.** ⚔️ YOUR ACTIONS MATTER Ashvane is designed around player agency. There isn't necessarily a predetermined path you're expected to follow. You can make alliances, pick sides, create enemies, pursue your own ambitions, get involved in faction politics, ignore the main conflict entirely or accidentally start one of your own. The world will react to what you do. **Your choices have consequences.** 🛠️ HOMEBREW & PROGRESSION The campaign also features several custom systems designed to make your character feel like more than just their class: * 🧙 **Homebrew Items** * 👹 **Custom Monsters & Creatures** * ⚒️ **A Full Homebrew Job System** * 📈 **Job progression and training** * 🎭 **Character-focused storytelling** * 🌎 **A world shaped by player decisions** The **Job System** allows characters to develop skills outside of their normal class abilities. Through training and experience, your character can become better at different professions and develop a more diverse skillset over the course of the campaign. Want to become a better blacksmith? Train for it. Want to learn another profession? Work toward it. Your character can grow in ways that aren't limited to simply gaining levels. 🌑 LOOKING FOR... If you enjoy **dark, grimy fantasy**, political intrigue, exploration, character-driven stories, and campaigns where the DM doesn't hold your hand through a predetermined plot... **You'll fit right in.** Whether you’re a veteran player or completely new to D&D, **beginners are welcome.** Come with a character, a backstory, and a reason to enter Ashvane. We'll build the rest of the world together. Interested? **Send me a message!**

Weekdays only, a group decides on day & time Most people will probably play between 16:00 – 21:00 (GMT+0) Will be played in Discord voice chat, "Theatre of the Mind" playstyle (means no VTT) My Discord (weebseatshit) *PREMISE* You are dragged into a dangerous encounter together with other unlucky ones. Now you are bonded whether you want it or not. Since you are a witness, some people want you dead, watch your back(s) & trust no one It's a Forgotten Realms based, custom (homebrew) campaign with an emphasis on story, characters & adventures Some spells that affect game's balance & world, may be forbidden. It'll be discussed Instead of HP you have healthbars, & you don't know how big are your enemies healthbars Spells become cantrips I'll describe locations & looks with little to no details Just like with the books, i'd prefer that every player imagined their own stuff (& because there may be an info that player may not get or just ignore) Only these races are allowed: Human, Elf (Moon, Wood), Dwarf, Goliath, Tiefling (Purple, Pink, Blue), Tystling (a human with cat ears (& eyes)) These classes aren't allowed: Artificer, Barbarian, Monk, Psion A tystling is similar to a cat Monochrome darkvision Enhanced senses: smell, hearing, vision, touch & balance Soft step: walking is almost noiseless (unless a tystling has something noisy on), running is slightly quieter comparing to other races A tystling is shorter than an elf, but taller than a dwarf A tystling is slim like an elf, but lighter than an elf, with smaller muscles. That makes a tystling even more agile & dexterous than an elf, but it's very hard for a tystling to lift or carry medium heavy things

The city of Intrica lies between Poland and Germany; it was founded over 500 years ago and stands tall today. However, it has not stopped suffering its trials and tribulations. Its current one is a black hole blotting out the sun over the city. The black hole, however, is not just a black hole; it is a pocket dimension known as "The Great Selection", a Battle Royale created by an adversary of the city known as "The Silent". Within this grand Battle Royale, the winner would exit with all the powers of the other participants, meaning that if any of the very malicious beings inside of it were to win, it would spell ruin for not just Intrica, but maybe even the entirety of Europe. It is up to the agents of the Arcane Enforcement & Global Intelligence Service, aka A.E.G.I.S., to break into this battle royale and turn the odds in favor of the participants who are friendly to this world. After all, you can move a mountain if you do it bit by bit.
