Story:
The grind of heavy wheels against the gritty trail grows more tiresome with each step as you slog on, weary and parched. The loud rush of the nearby salt river mocks you, its waters undrinkable. Suddenly, the soldiers around you clutch their spears, alert. A hauntingly beautiful melody fills the air—a hymn that evokes memories of a distant home, laced with the promise of death. Then, a large rock crashes down from the treeline, killing a soldier instantly. The melody twists into shrill screeches, andthe grind of heavy wheels is replaced by the clash of steel. Minotaurs and harpies swoop in, aiming to seize the barrels of water you were sworn to protect. This is life outside of Al’Kirat, where water is precious, no road is safe, and death lurks around every corner.
The setting for Sands of Doom takes place in the Torn Lands, a land devastated by a catastrophic event two thousand years ago. This calamity obliterated its inhabitants, leaving behind a cursed, desolate Wasteland. Today, it is a tainted realm filled with savage creatures, vast deserts, and the remnants of ancient civilizations. Only exiles and beasts reside here, cast out from more 'civilized' territories.
The adventure begins in Kirat, a region located on the westernmost edge of the Torn Lands. In this harsh region, beastfolk and tieflings struggle for survival and control over dwindling sources of water. Meanwhile, an endless stretch of cursed dunes slowly and meticulously advances from the east, where terrifying monsters and undead wander its tainted red sands.
Notes:
This module is survival-heavy, days, food, water, ammunition, and spell components will all need to be tracked. Planning and preparing for the travel will be crucial, and if you dont plan well enough there very well may be consequences that come.
My name is Phrough (pronounced 'Frog'), and I'm starting up a new campaign that started with the level 1-11 module Sands of Doom, and after the module is complete, it will be a homebrew adventure to level 20.
I've previously DMed several 1 and 2 shots, as well as a nearly weekly 4 year long campaign that came to a close recently, and now I want to do another, if you want to know anything about me feel free to dm me with your questions. I'm looking for either 4 or 5 players for a weekly game, as I already have one from the previous campaign of mine that wants to play in this one, with my only requirement being that you are at/over the age of 18.
Game time is not set in stone yet, but we are looking at it being Sunday afternoon to evening, Monday evening bi-weekly, or Friday evening as those are the times my current player is best available. If this is a game that might interest you please fill out the form attached, and I'll get back to you if I have any questions or to let you know you're accepted.
This post will be open for applications up to March 13th, allowing for anyone enough time to apply to play, once the 4 or 5 are selected then a session 0 will be planned.
