Nobody\u2019s safe from becoming a story or a mystery, and there are no heroes. Always problems but never enough solutions to go around.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Warbound takes place in the world of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eberron\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eberron\">Eberron<\/a><\/strong>, built from the carcass of a dragon deity. Two continents have been at war for a decade, but a sudden reversal causes a battalion to be left marooned on enemy territory. With no other choice, the battalion must trek through insurmountable dangers to return to their homeland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This Eberron campaign will be a low-magic setting. This means items that replicate magical effects are more common than the somatic evocation of magic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Core themes in Warbound: <strong>War, Distance, and Erosion<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Two opposing things in conflict, clashing dualities. When does the battle end? How long will the battlefield stretch before it engulfs everything? Is peace best achieved in one stead or the other?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Gaps and spaces, the distance between. How far apart can people be before they change irreparably? How far can you distance yourself from a person, a philosophy, or a history?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What do you lose during war and what do you lose after it? What has been weathered from your identity thereafter? Is what is left after the friction good? Gradual loss of integrity through attrition and resistance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>While I will be using Eberron as a basis for convenience and efficiency, this version of the renowned D&amp;D setting will be mine own. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking to witness the story unfolding, you should visit the official <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@warboundASO\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@warboundASO\">Warbound: A Steampunk Odyssey<\/a> channel, where you can find full-length recordings of sessions and bonus content, such as session zeroes and animatics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;ll see you in the workshops, inventors and <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">thinker<\/span><\/strong>s!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Synopsis Whirring gears, clacking cogs, and hissing steam; when it comes to living in Eberron, these are nonnegotiables.
