Level Tiers indicate the recommended character levels for the adventure. It indicates that a party of four within the level bracket should be able manage.

Regions define the play space of the adventure and where in the world it happens. The terrain and environment where events take place. As the Dungeon Master expands the world, regions may be represented with hex maps that include notable landmarks for player reference.

Faction Objectives are optional goals tied to specific factions. Completing them can grant additional XP and Renown. Not all adventures include faction objectives, and some may require the party to support one faction over another. The Guild will never officially support an evil faction; missions involving such alliances occur outside the Guild’s scope.

Example: Shadows in the Hollow

Tier 1, Bedrovia and Ausburg (Blackroot Hollows)

Merchants traveling through Blackroot Hollow have begun to vanish without a trace. Survivors speak of strange lights in the trees and whispers in the dark. The Guild suspects a supernatural presence or organized bandit activity.

Objective. Investigate reports of missing travelers along the forest road and determine the cause. If possible, eliminate the threat and make the route safe again.

Joining a Party

Each Sunday, the Dungeon Master posts a vote with the available dates and times they can host sessions. Players vote for the days they are available. When at least four players have voted for the same day, that session is confirmed and the adventure will take place.

If multiple adventures are available at the same time, the players who have formed the group will vote on which adventure they want to undertake.

The maximum party size is 6 players, although a party of 5 players is preferred for balance and pacing.

Games almost always begin at 18:30 UK time, unless otherwise stated.

A log may be written in character or out of character, but it should clearly include:

Where the adventure took place.

What the party set out to accomplish.

Which characters and important NPCs were involved.

Which factions were involved.

What the party discovered.

What threats were defeated, escaped, or left unresolved.

Which characters received magic items.

Adventure logs are the primary way knowledge spreads across the campaign. Information learned during an adventure is not automatically known by other characters unless it has been shared through a log or roleplay.

Well-written or particularly useful logs may be rewarded with bonus XP at the Dungeon Master’s discretion.

Downtime

Each compleated adventure rewards a character with ten days of downtime. They can then use this to rest, train, craft, but most imporantly it lets players use there bastion facilities if they are level five or higher.

Donwtime is covered in more deatil in the Downtime Guide.
