The forces of evil are individually far stronger than the forces of good, but their petty squabbles and constant infighting have kept them in check. For as long as anyone can remember, this has kept good and evil in check, leaving most of the world in relative peace. But that peace couldn't last forever. A warlord has been negotiating, coercing, and outright conquering the various evil factions, bringing them together into a single army. The forces of good, withering under such a unified attack, knew they couldn't hold out for long. In the Toria Confederacy, the last bastion of good standing against the evil assault, the Council of Wizards made a desperate choice.

Evenly spaced around the outside of the circle were charred husks which seemed to have once been robed people. You didn't know it yet, but you had just answered a call... ================================================================================ Far from Home is a True20 campaign about ordinary, real-world people transported into a fantasy-style world. The system is based on D20, so it's really easy to learn if you're familiar with D&D/D20. We use Google Hangouts for voice chat; I'm not particular about what you use for character sheets as long as it works for you and is reasonably easy to share (but we can certainly point you at some solutions which have worked for other players if you want suggestions). <a href="https://app.roll20.net/lfg/listing/15328/true20-fa" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/lfg/listing/15328/true20-fa</a>... A note for those in AZ or outside the US: The game is based in the US, so when the DST effect wears off in November the time zone will change from PDT (GMT-7) to PST (GMT-8), moving the game an hour later for those not currently under the effects of DST.
