Region: The Sunless Lands
System: D&D 2024 with Homebrew 

50 years ago, the rule of the Great Republic came to a fiery end. 

A terrible Cataclysm struck, tearing a hole in every plane of existence, destroying the imperial heartlands, slaughtering the old ruling class, and sealing a quarter of the world’s population away within a great, impassable Veil. Within the confines of this hidden world, however, life persisted. Gods and humanity came together and rebuilt the world, defying the savage and primal forces that plagued a land without seasons, without warmth, without the stars, without a sun. This new world of eternal winter, frost, and night was a desolate place filled with wars and raiders and the chaos of broken magic which mutated and corrupted the landscape, until the arrival of the Artificial Suns. Now, the world exists in a precarious balance. City states, lit by their own Stars, claim political dominion, and hold peace at a knife’s edge. 

You take the role of recruits for the Sable Sentry Adventuring Co., an organization lit by the Star of Ránograd. Gather together to help maintain this delicate peace, discover the mysteries of the Cataclysm, explore the ancient Powers of this world, or delve into the legacy of the Old Republic. Upgrade a shared bastion base, swap between parties, and work together in a grand company of adventurers at the turning point of history. Will you discover the mysteries of these Sunless Lands, will you stay the blades of those seeking war, or will this be the final era of this shattered world?

A Shared World, a Shared Party.
One of the primary goals of this club campaign is to emphasize the shared nature of the shared world. To achieve this, ALL players will be part of a shared organization, pursuing a shared goal. The following campaigns represent different ways of achieving this one goal, and to this end, players are encouraged to migrate between tables frequently. For example, if you are a skilled rogue in Michael’s game, and find out that your skills can help the current dungeon crawl in Alex’s, you are encouraged to swap over for a few sessions in order to ensure that dungeon crawl’s success. If you’re a player in Teague’s game, but Mitchell’s campaign is about to enter your hometown, you are likewise encouraged to swap over, providing information and resources the party otherwise would not have. In a way, you can consider every player in this shared world a member of one large, subdivided party.

Region: Valeris
System: D&D 5E(2024)

Valeris has always been a land of the impossible, where dreams and reality blend with magic as prevalent as clouds in a stormy sky. This has been known since ages obscured by time, their existence proven only by the metallic remnants of their enigmatic machinery. And it will be true as long as the vibrant peoples of this land live on. 

But the people of Valeris find themselves in a growing sea of chaos, in desperate need of adventurers to answer the call and dive into the depths of That Which Was, and to decide What Will Be. Dive into the forgotten history of the continent, quell the ever-changing stories of the House of Memories, encounter wild magic, or explore the dreams and nightmares of the people of Valeris. 

So step out from the bustling megalopolis of Xera and wander through the lush Virid Wildwood. Break port from the maritime power of Lorinth to sail and bring trade across the pirate-infested Celestite Seas. Get lost in the Perdit Dunes only to stumble into the mirage of the debaucherous city of Noverus and its artful people. Visit Rem, the Land of Dreams, and meet the mythological beings who reside there.

Material and Beyond
The Hero's Journey will cover both the material plane and Rem, the Land of Dreams. Our goal is to merge familiar tropes and stories with new twists, all wrapped up in a neat bow of interconnectedness. We have put a lot of work into making both Valeris and Rem feel truly alive, so be prepared for the world to respond to you and your actions, be it for better or worse.

Region: Novaysk
System: D&D 5e 2024

In the last half century, the city-state of Novaysk has culturally, industrially, and socially revolutionized 

The city of Novaysk has lied awake since its recent uprooting of its 13 House nobility into a democratically elected parliament led by Governor Mindala Hirsi, who proudly bears the city's mantra, "Only Death will stop Us", when voicing public support. This massive change comes at a time of swift industrialization and a sudden influx of magical ability within the populous, rapidly leaving the city of the past behind. With so much, many denizens are concerned with the revolution's impacts on its culture, such as its longstanding funeral rites conflicting with the magic of necromancy. 

You, a humble resident, merchant, or tourist of Novaysk, often find solace in a drink or two in the city's favorite tavern, Bill's Foaming Goblet, and occasionally take a glance at the job board posted within. Whether it be a heroic spirit, midlife crisis, or need for cash, you've found yourself taking a gig to fight Vampires, Ghosts, Cryptids, or even a Lich! In any case, you'll have your work cut out for you in desperate attempt to finally get a good night's sleep in this lively city.

Small Setting, Cohesive Storyline
Returning to the Club Campaign days of old, Novaysk is a small setting-- very small setting!-- where parties between our four games will heavily influence each other. Whether that take the form of disturbing news headlines, bans on trading magical gemstones, cameos, crossovers, or canon one-shots, you'll have to collaborate the campaigns to unravel Novaysk's mysteries. Good Luck!

Region: Cindara
System: Pathfinder 2nd Edition 

Long ago, a great civilization thrived in Cindara. Now all that’s left is dust. Falling to ruin has made the inhabitants of this once Utopian land into marauding maniacs of the waste. Now they must fight daily to survive not only against their fellow survivors but also against the unforgiving land that this has turned into. During the day, inhabitants wage road wars against each other for supplies and scrap. At night, you hunt for shelter, and if you are unlucky enough to find any, you are hardly heard from again. The Citadel has become our beacon of salvation in these trying times. They provide food, water, and shelter. But due to the ruling class, it is hard to gain any of those in abundance unless you fight for them and claim your stake. There are many places like this out in the wasteland. Some are more dangerous than others. Do you think you have what it takes to survive this desolate wasteland? Or will you just be another victim of the harsh sands of fate?

A Path to... Gambling?
Journey through the wastes of the Continent of Cindara and learn of the deep and dark history that has transpired to turn it into the ravaged and warring land that it is today. Start out as a lowly peon and rise to the ranks of Hero, or Villain, in this wasteland reminiscent of media such as Fallout and Mad Max. Road Rage takes place using the Pathfinder 2e system (along with some homebrew). Exactly like DND, except the numbers are bigger and the outcomes/consequences are larger. Road Rage embodies both together to create a true Gamblers' Dream. So get in your War Rig, buckle in, and get ready to gamble your rolls and your character's lives in the unending chaos that is the campaign of Road Rage.

Region: California, 1942
System: Call of Cthulhu 7th Edition 

War has begun. 7 months after Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor, paranoia grips the West Coast as if it happened only yesterday. Just when the country managed to recover from the Depression, another tragedy rears its ugly head. Many have been drafted, and many more support the violence from the Homefront. The United States has entered into the Second World War and the fear of another attack on California and her cities has gripped the state. That fear is a prime opportunity for unsavory individuals to take advantage of that paranoia for their own selfish purposes, human or otherwise. 

Even still, the War is not what the people of California should be worried about. A darkness approaches beyond understanding, with potential to uproot all you hold dear. People seeking to exploit the masses for their own purposes. Places that torment and break those who enter. A madness that shall claim the minds of all should it not be stopped. 

You will not be prepared for what must be done. No one ever is. But it will be your task regardless. I have faith that humanity will prevail, but whether it does falls on you. I wish you luck, for it is the only force in this world that will protect you. 

Embrace the Terror In A Classic System
For the first time in recent memory, Club Campaign can be enjoyed in the classic horror TTRPG Call of Cthulhu. In our shared world you can have a unique experience of disempowerment and the fracturing reality brought about by the iconic Sanity System. Play on Earth in a historic setting with your investigators in the gripping world of the Cthulhu Mythos, with some personal touches and unique threats. With strange aeons, even death may die. Enter if you dare. 

Conscious Resonance (Teague)

Themes: Roleplay, Problem Solving, Combat, Perception, Ideology
Time: Mondays, 7:00 PM
Region: The Sunless Lands
System: D&D 2024 with Homebrew 

Note: In case you skipped it, this game is a part of The Sunless Lands. This is a single branch of a larger party. You should look at other pitches within the Sunless Lands, and weigh this pitch with the understanding that you may be interacting with all of our games. 

30 years ago, a great evil threatening the Sunless Lands was struck down. In their final moments, they prophesied the destruction of everything. That’s why the Sable Sentry Adventuring Company was created, and that’s why it needs you to join the cause. That prophesied end is coming, and there’s finally a lead as to what’s causing it; anomalies have been popping up all over, but especially in the Free City of Ranograd. A subtle magical influence, but certifiably there. Your new bosses are sure these abnormalities and this prophesied end are connected. 

That means your job is to resolve these anomalies and learn more about their source. Enter the world just beneath the one we witness, into the twisting turns of the collective unconscious, and experience reality as we see it. Identify the abnormality, purge that corruption from the minds of the people, and return to the real world before you lose your own mind. 

It won’t be easy. Whatever’s causing all this is likely truly bizarre. After all, there’s just one law that binds everything in this world the same — from the smallest insect to the greatest god, this one truth unites them all: Perception is Reality. 

Perception is Reality. And something is watching. 

Pieces to the Problem (Avery)

Time: Wednesday, 7:00 PM
Region: Valeris
System: D&D 5e/2024 with Homebrew 

A barely-weathered letter with a pale blue stamp has found its way into your hands. Perhaps it’s delivered by a finely-dressed and impatient courier after giving you a once over, maybe it's tucked among your belongings as if it was always there, or perhaps you just saw it left behind on some table in a tavern. However you found it, the letter invites you to an opportunity for some coin in the short turn, but also possibly a job beyond that. 

Dear Opportunist, 

Valeris has always harbored strange anomalies—peculiar artifacts, inexplicable events, places that defy reason. But now, chaos reigns. Dreams slip into waking life, the dead dance without necromancers, pigs take flight, food fights back, and illusions become tangible. The balance of the world is unraveling, and I intend to set things right, with your help. 

I seek capable hands for this endeavor, and yours are precisely what I need. Know that all who show will get the opportunity to help on a job to stop a rogue giant in the mountains just east. And for those who particularly impress me, a more long term position will be offered with many more benefits available beyond the coin. 

If you are intrigued, come to the Deima University Kavan Dining Hall in Deimors on the 2nd of this next month. Further details will be shared then by my associates. 

Your Future Employer and Head of Deiman Commerce,
Verrona Liaric, Phd 

(This campaign is meant to allow the players, you, to explore the rich, living world of Valeris. It takes elements from classic Dnd campaign styles but also new ideas in having a very open world tied directly to the events that may play out. The best way to enjoy this campaign will be to have good player agency with a desire to experience the whole setting!)

Blood Sun Rising (Wyatt)

Themes: Horror, Mystery, Combat
Time: Wednesdays at 7 PM
Region: The City of Novayask
System: D&D 5e 2024

A man smoking a cigar sits at a desk, its wood worn with age and the furious scratching of pen on paper. His room is adorned with newspaper clippings with headlines reading "Mircilir Mangler jailed by Private Eye Penn" and the like, but the dates are from decades past. The elderly man rests his head, looking through the cracked window into a dark and stormy sky, not unusual for this time of year, but ominous all the same. A corkboard rests behind his head, filled with headshots of suspects and testimonies of witnesses. A spool of red string sits on the shelving below it, itching to be unraveled and the clues connected. 

"Hey, you." He doesn't even look at you as you enter the room, unperturbed by your unannounced entrance. "Saw my ad did ya? About needing some muscle on a job I've been working. I'll tell ya I can barely handle myself out there on the field these days, and there’s something about this case that’s making my skin crawl." 

He slides a picture of a young woman lying on the ground in a puddle of dried blood over to you. "You see this? Estrella Vaxtov, nice girl, never got in anyone's way it seemed. Kept to her own business, was a good student, wasn't involved in any criminal activity as far as we know. There's little to no motive to kill such a nice young gal who never got in nobody's way, well except..." He produces another photo, this time a closer one of her neck as she lay on a coroner's table. There's two punctures right in her jugular. "Except if you were hungering and she seemed like an easy mark. Cops are calling me crazy, that I believe in a bunch of bedtime stories and nonsense. Well, I got a pretty good lead on the man, if you can call it that, who did this. 

"What do ya say, wanna go kill some bloodsuckers?" 

Dragon Cursed Lands (Ronen)

Themes: Combat (this is D&D), Exploration, and whatever else you all choose to pursue however you want to pursue it (dungeon delving, exploration, politics, idk)
Time: Friday 7 PM
Region: Fuckingelfland
System: D&D 5.5e (2024 version) 

While often by scholars at New Great Darklord Acerrack University this land is referred to as the Dragon Cursed Lands if you ask the local farmers they will tell you it is really the Elf Cursed Lands, which is why the truly learned call it Fuckingelfland. Following the 14th crusade which accidentally was driven off course from the old standard target (some gnomish land of which people are unsure where it is) instead hit the last remnant of the Ancient Elvish Empire of old. Despite most returning to their homelands from the Crusade the Elvish Empire is beginning to collapse showing its age as new threats surround it combined with internal conflict. These threats are continuing to evolve and you somehow will be blessed by fate to change this fact in one way or another. 

PS: That dragon curse thing will probably show up in this campaign unless you all are really good at ignoring things 

PPS: This is largely a sandbox hexcrawl game with a ton of player agency to try to have motivations

The desert wind wails, You’re bleeding out, sprawled against the cracked hull of a rusted car, sand caking the wound in your side. The sun’s a dull red in a dead sky blinding you. A shadow stands over you—coat torn, boots worn to the sole, goggles glinting. He kneels, strikes a match off your chestplate, lights some flayleaf, and takes a long drag before speaking low, like telling a bedtime story to a corpse. 

“Ya know, they say there was a city here once. Not just a city—the city. The Citadel. Spanned the whole damn continent, if you believe the historymen. Floating spires, magic rivers, roads of light. Machines that could think. People that could fly. Gods that answered mail. Some say the Citadel built itself, like it was alive. Others say it was a prison for something old. Hell, some whisper it never existed at all—just a fairy tale we tell to forget we’re dying in its bones. But the land remembers. Look around. Nothing grows here. The wind cuts like knives. Half the things crawling under the sand shouldn’t even be alive. Something happened. Something tore this place apart so bad, even time forgot what it used to be. You and me? We’re just ashes blowin’ through what’s left. You thought you could change it. Thought you’d ride fast enough, shoot straight enough, claw your way up from the sand and make this world blink first. But there’s no winning this game. Not really. And out here in the dust, you figure it out sooner or later– the strong don’t survive by luck or law– they survive by takin’. Takin’ fuel, takin’ ground, takin’ breath– from anyone too slow to stop ‘em. For you, the game was rigged from the start.” 

The figure stands, taking the last draw of their Flayleaf and throwing the butt in your lap. One final shot rings out. The wind and sands swallow your name. Somewhere behind him, engines rumble, the desert keeps on breathing and your eyes shut for a long rest.

Hello prospective home buyers, this is your favorite realtor Mitch here, and boy do I got a hella deal for you. This rustic property built in 1870 sits on 10 acres of acrid fertile land and the house itself is a comfortable 2,340 and counting square feet.

Attached to this correspondence is a little info sheet that I made about the showing I will give on the upcoming Tuesday. Hope to see you there! Address: 498 Katabasis Rd
