Circles of Alexandria Campaign Setting: Alexandria, a land that lives in the shadow of a long-dead ancient empire. System: D&D 5E (excluding 5E 2024 content) Gameplay: Roll20 with voice on a Discord server. Character Level: 2-14 Scheduling: Wednesdays at 8:00 PM Eastern Time Language: English This campaign is for 4-5 total players. --- Plot Overview In the rural outskirts of Alexandria, your party stumbles upon a malevolent cult of mages. As would-be heroes, you will find yourselves entangled in a perilous quest to thwart the silent ruin of the continent. Background Alexandria, once the mightiest empire in Avalon, was unified by the legendary warrior and sorceress, Sarah Alexander. Her rise to power, fueled by vengeance and a pact with Eos, Goddess of the Dawn, transformed her from a liberator to a conqueror. Now, centuries later, the land is rife with tension between the followers of Dawn’s Light and the remnants of ancient cults. --- About me and the game I have been an RPG player and GM for over 13 years. While I’m new to running games on Roll20, I’m excited to give it a shot and tell a great story! Here’s what you can expect from my DM style: Intrigue: Deep, meaningful interactions with NPCs, personal secrets, and complex politics. Exploration: Hidden locations, puzzles, and lore galore. Gameplay: While there will be ample combat, the focus will be on storytelling. Ultimately, we are telling the story of a group of companions who will grow, learn, succeed, and--sometimes--fail. The Rule of Cool: If a character's response to a situation is fun, it's probably possible to try even if not technically within the rules! Tone: The adventure will have tense and perilous moments, but the core will **not** be heavy, gritty realism. Expect moments of humor and camaraderie. Player Agency: Your choices will shape the story, and I encourage creative solutions and faithful role-playing. Inspiration: This adventure uses the Rise of the Black Coven module as a base, with heavy modifications. More revamping will likely be done as the adventure continues to better fit the player characters so that you can tell the greatest version of your story. -- If you’re interested in joining, please post below, and I will reach out to you via PM.
