What was once bountiful farmland, forests and marshes, is now a vast wasteland full of ghoulish mockeries of what once made the land so beautiful to move across 15 years prior. Nothing rots in this now accursed land. The dead no longer waste away to nothing, but instead linger to watch the living who dare cross this vast stretch of land. The land and towns outside the once great city of Crucible are a ruin of patch-worked cratered lands from the great meteor called Shard. It descended from the heavens and brought with it ruin and the undead. The Shard mists bring the living and the dead to state of undeath. With the fall of the Capital, the Republic of Revelo is just now coming out of the chaos which followed in the wake of the great calamity. Opportunity now awaits those who would travel the Craterlands to the city of Crucible. A city of skyscrapers and floating islands, it is the alchemical and industrial hub of the Republic. It now offers a grim prize for those looking to collect shard or lost treasures in the city. The Shard brought wrath and undeath but it also brings life and a strange new type of magic called Necromancy. With it, death can be reversed for better or for worse. Whether you have come back to Crucible to reclaim what was yours, Kill the undead for the holy orders of the Passions or just seek the vast treasures and knowledge inside Crucible. We will see what awaits you.

Why pay to play? A lot of games have the issue of having flaky DM's and players, meaning that either players just drop out whenever for whatever reason and DM's just stop running the game. And it's common knowledge that when people put money on the line they tend to take things more seriously. I have been running professional games now for over 11,000hrs, It has been 2 years now that I have run the game as a job. With well over 40 players combined in my games you will join a community of other players. * current size of the community Payment and Refund Policy My standard rate is 13.5$/Session per person for a 3h game . If it so happens that the players would like to extend the duration of the sessions by an hour, I would charge an extra 2.5$ per person If you are ***happy with the game***, and see yourself playing for some time, you can pay ***50$ for a full month*** (4 Games) of playtime. (***Not including game extension***) **Refunds for sessions will occur for the following reasons:** - Session zero and Character creation are free. - You are expected to pay for the game regardless of if you are absent or not. - After every 12 session you get 1 an absence without having to pay, even working retroactively - If there are technical issues with Roll20 that cause the game to be cancelled. - If the DM is forced to cancel a session for any reason. As the DM, I reserve the right to accept, deny, or remove players from the game, as well as the right to cancel the campaign at any time. Should any of these extreme situations occur, outstanding subscription balances will be refunded in full to all effected parties.
