Campaign Logs
The new DF campaign started in September 2022 and is set in the same world as the previous one. This time we started at the 62 point level, using Delvers to Grow as the base. The campaign is rather unimaginatively called DF Novices. Perhaps we will come up with something better, but it is an accurate starting label. EDIT (May 2024): The group elected to call themselves Soaring Phoenix, so that is what I shall use as the name going forward.
DF Novices - Chapter One
The first adventure is a straightforward caravan job. My intent was for this journey to be a means for starting adventurers who have no established teammates to start a group by means of meeting suitable peers (each other) and be together on said journey long enough to hopefully get to like each other (or at the very least feel they can trust each other to have their backs). Once the team is formed then the party will have more autonomy over their direction and won't be lumbered with a bunch of NPCs slowing them down.

Soaring Phoenix (DF Novices) - Chapter Four
At the end of the previous chapter, I decided to skip the campaign forward a year, to allow the PCs plenty of time to train and pursue other downtime activities, as well as to give the frontier town of Bridgegate some time to expand. Several PCs elected to leave the town and the wilderness during this time, returning to home for a while, and so on. The party will regroup in Bridgegate after the downtime.

DF Khoramandu Sea
My first DF campaign was called DF Khoramandu Sea. This turned out to be somewhat over-ambitious title, as the party only ever got on a ship once. The campaign ran between 2018 and 2022, and has its own campaign log page.
