Co-created with AshMcGivern
Adventure Squad is about five to-be friends trying to make name for themselves on the continent of Ederaveth, a world plagued by unstable inter-dimensional tears and overpopulated by adventurers trying to do the same exact thing. This group will tackle (with whatever grace they can muster) mysteries such as: magic swords, hiring freelancers, income taxes, how to date people, giant monsters, self care, family found and how to run a successful business!
We are inspired by D&D, Pathfinder and Role Playing Games with big open worlds that encourage players to create their own narratives. We want to capture the situational comedy of D&D campaigns, while also telling a compelling story.
The best way to get a feel for the characters and world is check out the comic at https://adventuresquadcomic.com/
Setting
Ederaveth is the name of the continent/planet, a mostly a generic D&D fantasy setting with some "homebrew" worldbuilding (just so its different enough from WotC)
- interdimentional rifts pockmark the planet, very little is known about these rifts and whether or not they can be traversed. Monsters pour through theses rifts regularly posing a constant and renewable threat.
- Solar punk; a very slow industrial revolution - they have trains, running water, electricity, etc (early 1800's tech) that's all powered by magic and/or magical resources rather than fossil fuels. Magic is still very prevalent so advancements in science, medicine and technology is very slow and is mostly only seen in cities and large towns that have the infrastructure for it.
