Splinters of Faith [ EDIT ]

This game has been retired! That means it's no longer being run.

An ancient Undead Lord has escaped his shackles, and only you can prevent his reign of terror!
🗺️ Follow an adventure that takes you to unbelievable temples both ancient and forgotten.
🐉 Test your strength and cunning against the servants of Orcus and other dark gods.
🌴 Explore a variety of environs from thick jungles to frigid ice sheets and all in between!

What starts with the most innocuous quest imaginable will quickly reveal itself to be but the start of a grand adventure. You will search high and low for the ancient secrets of restoring a holy artifact, one that must be reforged to wage battle in the eternal struggle between Good and Evil. Be not afraid, for your quest is true and just.

Using the Hyperborea 3e system we will explore this campaign using a streamlined and flavor-packed hack of AD&D. This campaign is intended for first level characters to advance all the way to twelfth, which just so happens to be the level limits in the system!

In this game you will experience:

🛸 A game system inspired by Weird Fantasy pulp fiction.
⚖️ A balance between role-play, combat, and exploration.
👨‍⚖️ Neutral referee who prefers intuitive rulings to strict rules.
🐉 Evocative combats with life-or-death stakes!

Come and join me on this once-in-a-lifetime story! Here's what other players have said about me:

🎙️ "What really stood out about him as a gamemaster was his ability and willingness to allow player character actions and decisions to matter."
🎙️ "Charles runs flavor rich games that are always full of surprises. He pivots fantastically between different tones, and he understands the rules of each system without handcuffing the game to them."
🎙️ "Charles is a FUN, patient, and supportive GM who invests time and effort into new players without letting the table become a classroom."
