Swords of Algol [ EDIT ]
This game has been retired! That means it's no longer being run.
For as long as you can remember, the moon-shaped birthmark was just a curiosity that might get you burned at the stake. But what if, just perhaps, it was the mark of a destiny far from this wretched life? What would you do if that destiny took you by your scruff and shoved you into the adventure of a lifetime?
🗺️ Follow an adventure path tailored to evoke a Sword and Planet feel. This ain't your Feudal Fantasy!
🐉 Test your strength and cunning against ancient tombs and dungeons, and against cosmic horsemen and synthetic entities.
🗡️ Create an enthralling tale with your fellow adventurers as you are pulled onto an alien planet with a history of violence and insanity, and not only survive but thrive!
Prepare to embark on an adventure path of a creativity, ingenuity, and no small amount of cruelty. From the moment you find yourselves on another planet, you know that your life of gongfarming has now been left far behind. So take whatever weapons you can scavenge, learn your occult spells, and pray to gods that are light-years away; this is your story, your once chance to matter... so live it!
Using the Dungeon Crawl Classics rules, we will begin with a funnel and play to level five; a total of six challenging modules! We will level after each module, which are set to be a quick paced narrative. Want something that hasn't been provided in the modules? Ask, and you shall Quest For It!
In this adventure you will experience:
⚜️ An adventure path directly inspired by many of the Sword and Planet pulp fantasy novels.
⚖️ A balance between role-play, combat, and exploration.
👨⚖️ Neutral referee who prefers intuitive rulings to strict rules.
🐉 Evocative combats with life-or-death stakes!
Come and join me on this once-in-a-lifetime adventure! Here's what other players have said about me:

🎙️ "Charles runs flavor rich games that are always full of surprises. He pivots fantastically between different tones, and he understands the rules of each system without handcuffing the game to them."
🎙️ "Charles is a FUN, patient, and supportive GM who invests time and effort into new players without letting the table become a classroom."
