Deck n Roll Games Night - Friday 28th August

New to D&D? This table is for you. We'll be playing Phandelver and Below, the adventure designed as the way into the game, and it earns that reputation.

You'll start as hired escorts guarding a supply wagon on the road to Phandalin, a rough-and-ready frontier town with a missing dwarf and more goblin trouble than it can handle. Something far stranger is stirring beneath its streets, but that's for later.

No experience needed. The rules get explained as we play, and dice, character sheets and miniatures are all provided. Just bring yourself.

After retrieving a skin-bound phylactery from a lich's lair, a harrowing heist that cost Harper leader her life, Setting sail aboard The Brazen Pegasus, being plagued by haunting nightmares of a coin-eyed "Ant Hag", a pirate raid that stripped your non-essential gear, and a catastrophic attack by the dragon turtle. Drowning you in the ocean. You have reached Port Nyanzaru. YAYYYYY

Phewww its ALOT

Up Next: God only knows !!!

Setting
Vampire is set in the World of Darkness, a darker modern-day version of Portsmouth & Hampshire. Players will encounter both real-world and fictional locations and NPCs, all with a gothic horror and supernatural twist.

What to expect
These adventures use the 20th Anniversary Edition of the game, which is smoother and easier for new players to pick up. Each adventure blends investigation, social manipulation, horror, and action.
Each session is self-contained as a mission given by powerful NPCs within the city’s vampire society. Think GTA with fangs.
These adventures are set in a permeant world, which means things players do has a lasting effect. You kill an NPC, they stay dead in later sessions.

Characters
Your PCs are new young vampires. For brand new players who've never played Vampire before, pre-made characters are available; just add a name and you're ready to dive in. For more experienced players who want, you can make your own characters (with GM approval).
As these adventures are designed to be stand-alone, players can come and go. Returning characters can gain experience, boons, and influence over time to become stronger in later adventures.

Please Note
Please be aware this game is not D&D, it's Vampire: The Masquerade. It is suitable for beginners, and all rules and how-to-play will be taught by your GM. If you wish to bring your own dice, this game uses up to ten d10s. For those already familiar with Vampire, this session uses the classic ruleset.

Having survived the treacherous journey across the seas by hanging onto planks of wood and newly purchased books, the party find themselves in The Sour Vintage.

Kyrah, the Poet, has called the party over and explained that a Giant Boar has been laying waste to The Heartlands, slaughtering everything in it's path. Kyrah is an agent of The Oracle, who believes great destinies await the party though great deeds must be accomplished first.

Will the party manage to track down The Giant Boar? Which of the gods and Titans deserve it's sacrifice? What was that thing mentioned about the Oath of Peace?

All will* be revealed in the next session, Odyssey of the Dragonlords.

*Due to the chaotic nature of players sitting at the table, the term "will" is interchangeable with "might".
