Overview & Creation

Adventures delve into dungeons deep and venture into forests dark, relying on their skills, companions, and fate in their search of fame and coin. In doing so they often change their lot in life and become the thing of legends.   You are no adventurer, at least, not yet. You a but a lowly commoner with aspirations for something greater; whether that be to earn enough coin to retire and live comfortably, gain a noble title, or become a legend. The only surefire way, besides being born a lucky bastard, to do any of these things is to become and adventurer.   So sharpen that stick, grab that bag, and kiss your loved ones goodbye. You're headed off to a dungeon, to try your luck and make a name for yourself or die trying.
