Pitch:
Vanguard University is a magical adventuring academy where the characters are college attendees, typically ages 18–22. The campaign spans Tier One through Tier Four play. Open-minded, gregarious beginners are welcome, though the game itself leans toward intermediate levels of roleplay and action.

Players should be ready to share ownership of the story, jumping in with creative ideas that deepen the plot without sidelining other characters. During Session Zero, you will create a team-focused character who specializes in a field taught by one of Vanguard’s four remaining colleges: the College of Restoration and Vital Studies, the College of Battlecraft and Martial Fitness, the College of Rhetoric and the Strategic Arts, or the College of Thaumaturgy and Destructive Spellcraft.

Together, we will tell the story of a group of future adventurers who grow into the heroes Vanguard University needed all along. The campaign aims to evoke the whimsy and wonder of a magical school, the social anxiety and stress of college life, and the darker unease of traditions and institutions that quietly preserve a harmful status quo. The campaign blends adventure with mystery, rewarding curiosity, emotional investment, and attention to the world’s unanswered questions.
