The Slack of Many Things suffered a great loss in August. Our beloved DM, Player, and friend Rades (Mike Eng) passed away suddenly to a brain aneurism. Our world has been rocked, and with it the foundations of the game we’ve played together since 2011. Our friendships, however, are not dissolved even by something so enormous as grief.
In the absence of Mike, and seeking for something to focus on, Fuzz, a longtime player and original member of the group, had the idea for a campaign in a new world with new gods and a new setting.
We don’t have assured characters yet, we’ve not even really figured out what classes we’re playing (though many of us have ideas), but coming in 2022 sometime, the world of Velathris will open up to us, and we will set foot on a new adventure together. Fuzz is DMing for the first time, so the campaign will likely start with a 6-8 session “intro” arc, and then we’ll see how it’s going.
For now though…
Tucked between the Savadorn Mountains in the west, and the Guardian Forest in the east, lies the nation of Velathris. A once insular country, Velathris has since opened itself to the world, both figuratively, and literally. The Great Collapse—a monstrous landslide that completely dissolved miles of the Savadorn Mountains 1200 years ago—brought the first waves of change to the land. In the centuries that followed, the cultural landscape changed nearly as much as the physical landscape did.
It is here, that your journey takes place…
