Skarr Awakened: The Adventure Begins

Introduction

The God of Destruction is stirring. Stop him or join him. It's your choice.

Skarr Awakened is a series of adventures that form a modular campaign driven by player choices. Each one changes the story creating a unique experience for every party. Every adventure is packed with custom monsters, magic items, curses, traps, and story elements that expands the World of Oranth, giving the party more options to explore. This Kickstarter contains...

• Unique modular adventures that create a choose your own path narrative
• Early Adventures span levels 1-6
• Custom Monsters and Magic Items
• NPC and Guild tracking mechanics
• An expansion to the World of Oranth setting

Player choice impacts everything about this adventure! It dictates their character morals, letting players escape the restrictions of a normal alignment chart and allowing them to grow and change with the world they play in. Their actions influence the attitudes of NPCs and Guilds they interact with creating new allies or enemies.

There are no ticking clocks or encroaching deadlines. The party is given time between each adventure to further build their story and create an experience unique for their group. They can explore their backstories, build something new in the world just for them, or follow any of the open quest seeds found in each adventure. They have the time to explore Oranth and uncover its countless secrets!

Knights of the Shadow Realm is the original introduction to the World of Oranth. This impressive introduction to the setting comes with a massive levels 1-20 adventure intent on stopping a tyrannical deity from overthrowing all of existence! This book contains...

• An introduction to the World of Oranth setting's deities, histories, guilds, and more!
• A full level 1-20 adventure filled with world travel and surprises.
• Over 50 custom monster stat blocks.
• 5 custom 5E subclasses.
• 4 custom races.
• and SO MUCH MORE!

Gribble's Guide to the Academic Adventurer has 7 custom 5E subclasses focused on growing knowledge. From battle tactics to spiritual manipulation, from the obsessive machinations of weaponry to the master of the skies, this book shrouds itself in the theme of academia. It contains...

• A brand new school of magic (the school of kinesis) with over 20 new spells!
• New guilds for the party to join and boons for rising in a guild's ranks!
• A guild building mini-game for the party to create an establishment of their own!
• Unique stat blocks of each subclass for the GM to use as allies or rivals!

Meet the Crew

I'm a frontend web developer during the workday and a creative daydreamer the rest of the time. I've worked alongside several creatives in the TTRPG community to help them bring their projects to fruition and headed projects of my own to bring the World of Oranth to as many people as possible. I'm a layout artist, game designer, writer, illustrator, cartographer, and general jack of all trades. I've successfully run Kickstarters for Knights of the Shadow Realm, Gribble's Guide to the Academic Adventurer, and A Player's Guide to Oranth. I'm constantly looking to expand the Oranth setting by creating new and exciting products to make memories at tables for all aspiring adventurers.

When I’m not wearing a lab coat working as a Biochemist, I spend my time writing, designing, and running Dead Box Games. We publish weird and immersive TTRPG content thoughtfully crafted to inspire unforgettable stories. Dead Box Games has kickstarted Goblin Teeth, Bleaksprout, and Spirewitch, with more projects currently in development. Recently, I’ve had the pleasure of contributing writing and design for a number of projects, including Devoured Labyrinth, Pocket Saga, Raptor Ruckus, and of course, Skarr Awakened.
