Cincinnati Adventurers Guild

The party has traveled to the Outlands, where the cosmic clockwork of the multiverse has ground to a halt. The Great Modron March—a routine planar pilgrimage—has been prematurely triggered, sending millions of mechanical beings into a chaotic, destructive frenzy across the planes. Starting at level 10.

The party has found a short cut to catch up with the Modrons in Archeron! They have gone back to Sigil to take a direct portal to the Mines of Marsellin through the Streetsweeper's Yard to find R04M and reunite him and his Modron Crucible Jonny. With this reunion they can find the complete plans of the Thay Wizards, the Dragon Cultists, and their various faction allies to release Tiamat from her prison.

The Cultist and Thay Wizards are determined to stop them at any cost and relentlessly chase the party through the cosmos.

Create 3 10th level characters from any 2014/2024 edition
On creation of your 3 character variants you need to ask these questions:
1. The Turning Point: What was the greatest decision or turning point in your character's life?
2. The Alternate Path: If your character had made a different choice at that turning point, how might their life—and by extension, their class or abilities—be different now?
3. External Expectations: How would they be different if they had made choices based strictly on what others expected of them?
4. The Idealized Self: What is something your character wishes they could change about themselves, and how would the "best version" of them be different?
5. What is your character's signature possession or physical trait? This is an immutable icon—like a distinct scar, a specific pessimistic personality, or a beloved token—that remains constant across every single version of you.

Glitch Mechanics:
• The Trinity Rule: Each player creates three different versions of their character at the start. While they share the same level and core soul, each incarnation can have a completely different appearance, race, class, or gender.
• Death and Resurgence: When an active incarnation dies, a new variant reappears nearby shortly after. This newly incarnated character typically has no memory of what happened to the previous version or why they are in their current situation.
• Unified Progression: All incarnations share the same level and advance together. Narrative-wise, while one version adventures with the party, the others are assumed to be adventuring on different planes of existence, gaining equal experience.
• Inventory and Items: Items typically do not duplicate. If a character dies, their equipment remains on the corpse; if the new incarnation is a different class, their starting uncommon magic item might shift to something more suitable (e.g., a +1 Sword becoming a Staff of the Warmage).

*Standard array, point buy, or 4d6--drop low method

• Max HP for: roll or take the average HP (whichever is better) for level.
• Rare Items: 1 permanent piece (such as a +2 weapon, Cloak of Protection, or Amulet of Health).
• Uncommon Items: 2 to 3 permanent pieces (such as a +1 weapon, Winged Boots, or Pearl of Power).
• Common Items: 1 to 2 flavorful or utility items (such as a Cloak of Many Fashions or Potions of Healing).
• Consumables: 2 to 4 temporary items (spell scrolls, higher-level potions).

River bandits are raising havoc on the Green Moon River and Captain Artham Sutton is feeling the pressure.

The Swamp Rats raided his steamboat, stole a VIP's luggage, and fled to their hideout in Sunken Hill. Now the passenger is holding Sutton responsible for its retrieval and his job is on the line.
Getting to the Swamp Rats is no easy task but the 500 silver Sutton is offering can make it worth your while.

A simple job set in the muddy swamps of Sunken Hill where nothing is ever simple...

For those familiar with the grim-dark blackened metal TTRPG Mörk Borg, this is its acid western cousin Frontier Scum where you play not as heroes but as scum who will do anything to survive. It is a d20 roll-over system with different character backgrounds and classes to choose from providing you the opportunity to bring your own flair to the character. I will bring pre-generated characters, rules reference sheets, and extra pencils and pens.
