Iron Kettle Presents: Ember | Open-World Cinematic

An open-world sandbox style campaign focused on gaining power through financial, political and military strength. The party will start at level one(with a few minor enhancements) and pursue local influence and gathering funds. Will you choose to purchase gear and lean into completing bounties or search for treasure among the ruins? Will you invest in a local restaurant and gather rare monster parts for fancy expensive dishes? Will you delve into small town intrigue and increase your fame through quests and manipulation?  I will likely run a one or two session intro where the party is restricted to a small town and must complete their assigned quest. If the group is happy with the world and we all want to continue, we can make any necessary adjustments and open the world up to a much larger mapped area. At that point, the group will be able to explore and jump into quests, bounties, dungeons, etc. If you can pay, you can hire contractors to build, mercenaries to fight, mages to scry. Kill and steal if you like, but beware that unplanned murder and theft can be risky, and the authorities are scary.  This campaign is set in a fairly basic fantasy type world with its own history. You can read the lore dump if you like, but it won't be necessary to play. Magic works as you would expect, deities exist, and whatever else your character might depend on won't be mysteriously absent. This campaign is designed around supporting YOUR fun adventures, and the world is there to facilitate that.  - I am aiming for 3-4 players, games on Saturday nights, and mainly play using voice on Discord and maps on Owlbear.  - There will be graphic violence and people being quite rude to each other.  - Danger is real and your character can die, but that would generally be the result of ignoring clear "are you sure about this?" moments. - Every type of human is welcome, and there will be zero tolerance for shittiness. - Sexual stuff is kept to a minimum.  - If you have anything you would like to be avoided in game(phobias, etc), send me a private message and it won't appear.  Anyone who'd like to join, please check out the application below and respond to any sections you like. New players welcome. https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vTqSonCE6_1giGIJIKV2Yj7eegyb7XQJgNe6U3R2fq7v2psUUEXHZVEdNHb8H5Dl2MsBv7CCosPBPKa/pub

The Adventure: It was just an ordinary dag in a quiet village until a powerful necromancer arrived and twisted the entire population into flesh-eating monsters. Suddenly, you and your fellow survivors are trapped inside a living nightmare. The objective is brutal and simple: survive the night, fight your way through the horde, en find a way out of the town alive. The Pitch: Brand new to D&D? This is the perfect place to start. This $10 session is designed for absolute beginners to learn the basic rules of combat, exploration, and teamwork without any pressure. Everything is fully automated on Foundry VTT so you can focus entirely on surviving the zombie apocalypse! 👉 https://startplaying.games/adventure/cmrrx8jx100fjla04x3eqj606?ref=cmpe26gha0035ji04azjpab18
