I have a quote on what needs to be done but it seems excesive. Would love to hire an independent (licensed) electrician to do some side work mainly running an outlet outside.

D&D 5E Campaign: The War of Shadows

Campaign Information

Content Warning & Table Expectations

This campaign is intended for players 18 years of age or older.

Nytheris is a dark fantasy setting featuring themes of horror, war, religious extremism, political oppression, death, undeath, eldritch corruption, psychological horror, and moral ambiguity. Mature themes will be present throughout the world and story.

While mature and potentially disturbing subjects may exist within the setting, graphic descriptions of sexual violence, abuse, torture, or similar triggering content will not be narrated in detail. Such events may be implied as part of the world's history or ongoing conflicts, but they will not be the focus of scenes at the table.

Player comfort is important. Boundaries, expectations, and safety tools will be discussed during Session Zero.

Looking for Players

I am looking for 5 players to explore the world of Nytheris and help tell a story shaped by their choices.

This is not a DM vs. Players game.

My goal is not to defeat your characters. My role is to present a living world, meaningful choices, difficult situations, and the consequences that follow. Together, we will create a story that none of us could have written alone.

Character Creation

Allowed Content

• All official Wizards of the Coast races
• All official Wizards of the Coast classes
• All official Wizards of the Coast subclasses

Restricted Content

• Gunslinger-style classes and firearm-based content are not permitted.
• Firearms do not exist within the setting of Nytheris.

If you have a character concept outside official material, feel free to discuss it with me and we can review it on a case-by-case basis.

Backstories

A character backstory is required.

It does not need to be lengthy, but it should answer the following questions:

• Who are you?
• Where are you from?
• What do you want?
• Why would you risk your life to pursue it?

Whenever possible, your backstory will be incorporated directly into the world and campaign.

Game Style

This campaign heavily features:

• Psychological Horror
• Gothic Horror
• Political Intrigue
• Moral Dilemmas
• Investigation
• Exploration
• Character Development
• Consequences for Choices

Combat will absolutely be present, but not every problem can be solved through violence.

Many of the greatest threats in Nytheris are ideas, secrets, beliefs, and fears.

Expect difficult decisions, competing truths, and situations where there may be no perfect answer.

Schedule

Tentative Schedule

• Weekly Campaign
• Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday
• Start Time: Approximately 6:00 PM EST

The final day will be determined based on player availability.

The War of Shadows

For seven hundred and fifty years, the world has been dying.

The dead do not stay dead.

Vampires rule an empire sustained by blood and broken promises.

Holy armies burn entire cities in the name of salvation.

Ancient horrors whisper from beyond reality itself.

And somewhere in the darkness, a Fey Queen watches kingdoms tear each other apart.

Most people believe the world is divided into good and evil.

They are wrong.

The undead king who commands legions of corpses claims he seeks eternal peace.

The vampire emperor who taxes blood from the living may be the only thing preventing genocide.

The holy church that promises salvation has burned more innocents than monsters.

And the eldritch horrors waiting beyond the veil care nothing for any of them.

You begin not as heroes, but as survivors.

Perhaps you are:

• A refugee fleeing a crusader advance.
• A mercenary hired to protect a blood caravan.
• A grave robber searching ancient battlefields.
• A deserter.
• A heretic.
• A prisoner.
• Or something far worse.

Whatever your past, you will soon discover a terrible truth:

The war everyone sees is not the real war.

Something older is stirring.

Something that existed before vampires.

Before liches.

Before kingdoms.

Before even the gods themselves.

And every battle fought between the living, the dead, and the damned is feeding it.

The question is no longer who will win the War of Shadows.

The question is whether there will be a world left to inherit when it ends.

Themes

• Gothic Horror
• Psychological Horror
• Political Intrigue
• Moral Grayness
• Religious Extremism
• Cosmic Horror
• Survival Against Impossible Odds
• Mature Themes

How to Apply

If you're interested, please send me a DM with the following information:

Age:

Gender Identity (optional):

Time Zone:

Years of D&D Experience:
(New players are absolutely welcome.)

Preferred Race(s):

Preferred Class(es):

What do you enjoy most in D&D?
(Combat, roleplay, exploration, investigation, horror, political intrigue, etc.)

Tell me a little about yourself:
Nothing too personal—just enough to help me get to know the person behind the character.

You understand that I am not Matt Mercer and likely never will be, right?
(There is no wrong answer here. I just want to make sure we're all showing up with realistic expectations.)

Character Concept (Optional):
If you already have an idea for a character, I'd love to hear it.

What day(s)/Time(s) work best for you?

My goal is to build a table of players who are interested in collaborative storytelling, character development, and helping create memorable moments together. Experience level is far less important than being a good fit for the group.

Personally I have never even tried Jade Garden as Max Orient is my favorite Chineese around and I don't visit the J-Mall often. Plus the prices are so reasonable.

First the owners and opperators are absolute perverts. My wife worked there and was consistantly sexually harrased by them.

Second, Yes, they have rebranded to just pie kitchen. BUT for years they opperated under homemade ice cream and pie kitchen. Yet most if not all pies are made in a factory and shipped to them and none of the ice cream is "homemade". This is illegal and false advertisment for their product.
