# Adventuring!
Adventuring! is a fantasy campaign run in the Forgotten Realms, circa 1372 DR. It is currently being reorganized as a
play-by-chat game. Information about the previous attempt, which stopped before it could get momentum, is kept
[here](previous).

## Characters
* [Elyan Gareth](elyan-gareth) is a brash exiled gunslinger [warrior] who crafts unique objects.
* [Ghorin](ghorin) is a clever mystical sorcerer [adept] who separates mind from body.
* [Sydney](sydney) is an exiled doomed drifter [explorer, with combat flavor] who never says die.
Players are welcome to create a character for the game and rotate in and out as time allows. See [Character
Creation](character-creation) for information on making Cypher System characters suitable for the campaign.
## Current Events
* The campaign is starting up, starting in [Reddansyr](https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Reddansyr) in the Dragon
Coast.
## Maps and Current Location
See the right-hand side of this page for the current hexcrawl map. Unexplored hexes will be revealed as the game
progresses and rumors are discovered, the wilderness is explored, etc.

### Hex Key
* **0209: Teziir (small city, 10,944)** --- a major trade city on the Dragon Coast ruled by merchants, boasting a
diverse group of temples and shrines to nonevil divine powers, but nevertheless plagued by a thieves' guild
infiltrated by the Night Masks of Westgate.
* **1009: Reddansyr (village, 608)** --- a small town known as an information clearing-house and a fair-sized temple to
Oghma. Giant's Folly is the significant festhall (located inside an overturned boat) where information is exchanged
freely (or for a price).
## Resources, Notes, etc.
### Play-by-Chat Structure and Guidelines
Adventuring! will run on a 48-hour tick system where players will have 48 hours (ish) to get their updates in, converse
about strategy, ask questions of the GM, etc., and then the GM will update with outcomes and move the game forward. More
details can be found [here](play-by-chat).
### Cypher Tables
Treat all cypher types as manifest by default. Roll a d20 and use that result for which table to roll on (they're all
built as percentile tables, so you can roll d20 + d100 for both together).
| Roll | Origin/Type |
|--------|-------------------------|
| 1--4 | *Core*/Manifest (p.382) |
| 5--8 | *Core*/Subtle (p.383) |
| 9--11 | *Godforsaken* |
| 12--20 | *Core*/Fantastic (p.382 |
Most instances work in the game and could be represented as at least one kind of physical item, or roll on the cypher
form table in *Godforsaken* (which would be a combined roll of d20 + d100 + d100).
