====== Tales of Home ====== {{:ship.png?680|}} The [[planes|Inner Planes]] of existence have been ripped and torn apart into fragments that float like islands hanging in the [[Aether]]. These "[[Shards]]" of the Feywild, Shadowfell, and Elemental Planes, each with their own alien secrets and adventures, lie just a voidship's voyage from the few remaining points of civilization salvaged from the ruins of the Material Plane. The deities have gone silent. The prayers of the devout are no longer answered by the gods--only the miracles performed by true heroes suggest they still exist. This is the universe of Tales of Home, the successor to the [[https://theadventurers.academy/wellmet|Hail and Well Met Campaign of 2024]]. There are [[Shards]] to explore and secrets to uncover. What's your character's role in this grand story? Join your friends Rachel, Cosimo, Declan, and Rew for twelve months of casual sandbox adventures held in the //**Legendary Tier**// theme room at the Adventurer’s Academy. Each session of this [[#open table|Open Table]] style game is a self-contained one shot running in a shared campaign universe that includes all other //Tales of Home// adventures. New players can join for a single session and have just as much fun as returning veterans. ====== New Players ====== Is this your first time playing in a //Tales of Home// adventure? If so, please bring your own ninth (9th) level character or arrive ten minutes early to choose a pre-generated character. Dice and a miniature to represent your character are welcome but are **not** required. Unless you talk with the Dungeon Masters first, please construct your character using only the //Player’s Handbook// (2024) ("5.5"). Generate Attributes using the point-buy system or use the standard array. Returning players are welcome to play characters from any previous //Tales of Home// game session, but it's not required.

On each game night, anyone can play because while the campaign world is consistent each game session is self-contained and episodic. Our game masters create exciting and intriguing locations to explore, and the players all decide why their characters are there. While an open table doesn't necessarily have the focus or intensity of a dedicated campaign with the same player characters each and every week, it gives players a whole lot of freedom to come and go as they wish, encouraging new styles of play. ====== The Story So Far ====== * [[Session 1]]: Storm of Vengeance 1 * [[Session 2]]: The First Test * [[Session 3]]: Open Road * [[Session 4]]: Search & Rescue * [[Session 5]]: Xander's Mad Magics 1 * [[Session 6]]: Waterlogged * [[Session 7]]: Road Work Ahead * [[Session 8]]: Why Did the Dinosaur Cross the Road? * [[Session 9]]: Spelunk & Capture * [[Session 10]]: Storm of Vengeance 2 * [[Session 11]]: Until Our Roads Meet Again * [[Session 12]]: Assassination Attempt * [[Session 13]]: Mount Celestia * [[Session 14]]: The Road to Emmaus * [[Session 15]]: Roadhouse * [[Session 16]]: Quiet As Snow * [[Session 17]]: Gantra [Status: MISSING] * [[Session 18]]: A Choice of Allies * [[Session 19]]: Road Closed * [[Session 20]]: Gamma Gala * [[Session 21]]: The Crossroads of Devils and Daeva * [[Session 22]]: Secrets in the Sands * [[Session 23]]: Casino Road * [[Session 24]]: Peace in our Time * [[Session 25]]: The Jarxis * [[Session 26]]: Fortress of the Road-Scarred Void * [[Session 27]]: Roadside Carnival * [[Session 28]]: Entangled on the Warlock's Road * [[Session 29]]: The Heart of Criostalun * [[Session 30]]: New Moon * [[Session 31]]: Allies at the Fallen City * [[Session 32]]: Taking the Wrong Road * [[Session 33]]: The Road to Shadow (Part I) * [[Session 34]]: The Crystal Monster and the Lunar Dragon * [[Session 35]]: The Road to Shadow (Part II) * [[Session 36]]: Down the Wrong Path * [[Monday RP]]: Dockside Discoveries * [[Session 37]]: The Gourd Life * [[Session 38]]: On the Road in Hot Pursuit * [[Session 39]]: Get Off My Lawn * [[Session 40]]: All is Revealed * [[Wednesday RP]]: Rescuing a Wooden Tit * [[Session 41]]: The Road to Ruin * [[Session 42]]: The Subjugator * [[Session 43]]: Demogorgon Appears * [[Session 44]]: The Deep End * [[Session 45]]: Pancakes and Pickles * [[Session 46]]: The Rat in the Bananas * [[Session 47]]: Roadkill * [[Session 48]]: The Cult of Cyric * [[Session 49]]: Rest in Peace * [[Session 50]]: Rough Road to the Dark Messiah * [[Session 51]]: Taking the High Road * [[Session 52]]: Wedding of Keeka and Valorian * [[Session 53]]: The Great Cyrinishad Heist * [[Session 54]]: Breaking the Breakers * [[Session 55]]: Spilling the Beans * [[Session 56]]: The Power of Love and Friendship * [[Session 57]]: Siege of the Welmet * [[Session 58]]: End of the Road * [[Session 59]]: The End of Gamma Co * [[Session 60]]: Aurora ====== Characters ====== Please create a link and tell us more about your player characters here!
