Hypatia's Breath of Books: Newbie Friendly Mini-Campaign w/ Paul

Campaign: Weirdbridge
Adventure: Hypatia's Breath of Books
Setting: Forgotten Realms

From the street you see two buildings fused into one structure: a dignified red-brick hall with a steep gabled roof and arched stone entry, and a low, charcoal-brick cube slipped onto its side. A pair of towering trees frame your view of the entrance, their branches knitting a green canopy over the sidewalk. Hanging above the heavy oak doors, a sign carved with the face of noble dragonborn breathing. Instead of fire, pages and pages of books fly from its mouth. Once inside, you breath in the comforting smell of ancient leather, old paper, and burning lamp oil. Before you, a dust covered labyrinth of shelves, old books, loose scrolls, and stacks of pamphlets.

Adventure fills the pages of these books. Peruse the shelves to find what's in store for you and your party.

Character Creation.

• We will follow the DND4N rules for character creation.
• I hold character creation sessions every four weeks. Join us to get started your character.
• Our first session will include building our characters, but please feel free to put some ideas together beforehand.

Who are you? You've come here to uncover a long lost secret, find the answer to an old question, or rediscover a story that hasn't been told for generations. You are either lawful or chaotic good. For a table with new players or new-to-each-other players it is best for all characters to be good aligned.

Seats at the table. The suggested tip for each session is $30 and we are capping the table at 6.

• This mini-campaign will have 6 regular players.
• Once the table is set, it may open up every now and then to those on the waitlist on a session by session basis for players to "guest star" if regular players cannot attend.
• Feel free to join the waitlist in case a spot opens up and you are ready to join at the last minute.
• The DM reserves the right to decide party make-up (Players and PC Levels)

You Meet in a Tavern. We will be meeting at the Chapel Pub on Killingsworth in North Portland.

Agenda: As I said, our first session will focus on character creation and session 0. After that:

• 11:00 - Play
• 2:00 to 2:30 - Find a good stopping point

Safety Tools. For gameplay at the table:

• All players are welcome at this table and will be respected
• Hard Lines: This game will not contain physical violence towards children, animal cruelty, party-initiated torture, inter-party violence or betrayal, or any sexual themes.
• “Pause for a second”: If at any point you feel uncomfortable or don’t agree with the direction the game is going
• Content themes and warnings can be found below.

This game is PG-13. Depictions of fantasy violence, infrequent body horror, disturbing images, possible brief romantic situations, FREQUENT PROFANITY (I curse a lot), some crude humor, emotional thematic content, and possible death and grief.

Your DM. Showing up to a Meetup event where you don't know anyone can be a lil scary. If you'd like to get to know the DM a little, I am a 46 year old data nerd that got into DnD because of a TikTok. I am from the Midwest but moved out here for the clouds and the rain (not joking).
