Tone
This game will be a serious dragon hunting and monster slaying campaign. That's not to say that there will be no humor, but keep in mind that some characters will be motivated by revenge, that destruction is rampant, and the economic situation is a sorry state. Resources will be low, particularly currency. You may end up bartering for goods, selling off magic items for mounts and equipment. The area is kind of bleak at the moment, and it's up to the party to bring prosperity and hope back to these lands.
Will be tracking encumbrance, food, arrows, time spent, vision types, etc. So trying to keep it as close to realistic and gritty as possible.

Important Info/House Rules
There will be a few rules systems in use as necessary; one of the most important is the downtime system. Downtime is further explained in it's own page, but the gist of it is that you can use free days to retrain, build property, make money, or a variety of other options. Downtime will also lead into making and customizing your Keep, and if desired, settlement that springs up around the keep. Rather than using the Stronghold Building Rules to build a keep we will just add rooms as in the Kingmaker rules; this just unifies the system and makes it easier to represent.
Also available will be contacts for tracking favours and political sway within the new country. Reforging is used to conserve raw magic and upgrade your personal gear, and retraining is used to get the most out of your character by tweaking it to your needs as you play.
