Club Campaign 2023-2024: Indifference of Fate
This year's Club Campaign is set on the continent of Isukari, a land plagued by war and strife of all forms. 10 DMs will be running games in the same world, with many opportunities for crossovers (like Co-Game, which happens four times a year and sees every game cross over at once!) Check the Discord server for more information. Each of the individual campaigns' pitches are as follows:
Crawling Chaos:
Hear Ye! Hear Ye!
It hath been reported that the Crawling Dungeon hath once again ceased its endless roaming and consumption, if only for a time. Now is the time for the brave and bold amongst thee to answer the call of adventure, go forth into the Crawling Wastes and bring an end to this inter planar menace. For such a daring undertaking, a sufficiently grand reward has been offered. Any who can halt the destruction wrought by the Crawling Dungeon shalt receive sovereign lordship of the Crawling Wastes, officially recognized by the many rulers of Isukari. Succeed where so, so, so, so many other great heroes have failed, and be forever carved into the annals of history. Please contact your local adventuring guild for further details.

Crimson Solitaire:
There’s a saying that all art is eternal, that what has been created shall live and grow long after the original author has set down their pen for the final time. Perhaps that is true, but why stop only one, or two, or ten, or even a hundred artworks? Why stop at all?
The ink has not yet dried for the newest script penned for the Crimson Troupe, an organization that supposedly predates the written record of this world. The credibility of such claim, however, matters little given how much of their activities have upended the very fabric of what is “real” and what is “possible” — people have gone missing, whole cities have been erected only to vanish once the novelty of their “set design” has worn off, and monsters live and die more often to the stroke of a quill than by might or magic.
The world is a stage, and all inhabitants the audience, actors, and crew. The play of today: the greatest tragedy. But perhaps you are not content with living and dying by a script; do you have what it takes to break free from the fate written for you?

Petty Larceny:
Reporting live from Arcfell, this is Tyler “big man” Crowley
Attention All Citizens of Arcfell. This morning at approximately 4:50am it was discovered that a master thief has stolen a highly powerful and experimental artifact from Arcfell Univeristy. Currently, it is unknown exactly what was stolen, but it is reported to be taken from the University's Experimental Flight Lab. We are joining you live from outside the lab with Leli “Areo” Bashford: Leading researched of experimental flight. It was crazy, I locked up for the night and when I came back to check on The Krait and all that was there was a playing card. An Ace of Spades.

Ascension:
You receive a small letter, sealed with a purple wax stamp picturing a sunrise Dear adventurer, Welcome to the Cult of Ascension. You may never have heard of us before, but as the recipient of this letter, you’ve already devoted your name to the cause. Why, you ask? Because I know your fate is in dire need of… rebalance.
There exists an all-powerful artifact, known only as the Perihelion ring, which in the proper hands, can give you anything you wish for in life. And, unfortunately, we require your assistance to retrieve it.
It will be a perilous journey, but not one to fear, as death for members of our cult is transient, for the insignificant price of a few innocent souls. All for a worthy cause, for much more lies in the balance. You can trust me in this, for I never lie, and I know what future events abound. Additionally, I am inclined to inform you that this isn’t an invitation. I’m just giving you some time to pack your bags
Graciously, Caesar Larenhale and associate, Devon An Ceryl

You are promised riches, treasures, and much more if you are able to keep Siebold from his goal: Obtaining the Eye of the Tiger.

Life During Wartime:
A lot has been going on in Isukari, but most of it has gone unnoticed in the north, which is preoccupied with its own current set of problems.
See, around six to seven months ago, the nation of Aenglia was hit by a devastating blow; its previous ruler, a dragon who had lived as part of the nation for centuries, was killed. Looking for justice, Aenglia declared war on who they believed to be the perpetrator: the northern nation of Allhilt.
Allhilt was unprepared for war when Aenglia invaded from the sea, marching across the nation’s coastal plains towards the capital. After Allhilt mobilized, it was able to stop Aenglia’s advance at the base of the country’s foothills. After that, the war became a stalemate.
And so it has remained for the last four months, while rumors began to fester and grow. Some claim that Aenglia killed their own ruler to justify the war; after all, who has an invasion force just standing by at the ready? Others allege that the dragon isn’t dead, just in hiding, directing Aenglia’s forces from the shadows. Or perhaps Allhilt really did kill the dragon, and stole the body to use in some otherworldly ritual.
Regardless of the truth, for the average resident of Allhilt, war is war and it has made the last six months AWFUL. At the moment it seems that nothing either side does can change the course of the war, but perhaps the opposite is true; maybe the scales of fate are just waiting for the right group of people to tip them.

Silence Of Witlock:
You receive a fine letter, seemingly coming out of thin air, coming from a “Dr. Gunderson”
“Dear… whomever you may be, I’ve been watching you and I see great promise for exploration!! You have skills… of a variety that I would love to have on my expedition team, an expedition to where you ask?. Well it's not too important, just a humble forest.. In.. Witlock. I know that sounds bad, but listen.. The horrible stories that you've heard about, the ones about horrific abominations wiping out an entire population of the kingdom of Witlock, those stories.. Pshh HIGHLY EXAGGERATED! There have only been a few.. hundred reports of terrible monsters that hide within the kingdom that leave the few who return with more scars than that of a warzone would. Besides the point, the point is I am offering 12,000 gold to those who expedite to the Old Kingdom, and for those who are interested, plenty of scientific and magical discoveries! It may be dangerous, but I guarantee it will provide a grand experience. Well, hopefully a better experience than the last groups..uh.. WHO ARE PERFECTLY SAFE.”
