Dear Lady,

I write to you with news from Brevoy. I will be brief as to not take up too much of your precious time, but I feel that current events warrant the time to bring them to your attention.
I have been mingling with the local nobles here and it’s been going well, though rather boring at times. Things changed a few weeks ago however when Lord Medvyed decided to claim the lands south of his city, and requested volunteers for this campaign. So I made it known, subtely, that I would be interested in joining such a venture. So not much later I was approached by him and was asked to join, which i of course gracefully accepted.
The rest of the group consists of another few nobles…though apparently they give the noble title to every bum or peasant here…and some local ruffians. I guess not many really worthy people saw profit in this venture. But I do. The chance to carve a part of this land out for myself, and as such for your greater glory? Let Medvyed think I do this for him.

So I’ve quickly taken matters in my own hands and under my capable leadership things have gone quite well so far. We’ve taken up residence in a local tradingpost, which has a good strategic placing to scout out the surrounding lands. They have been harrassed by a local gang of bandits though for the past times, and the first day we were there, some of these bandits showed up. I dealt with them swiftly. One has joined us, the other two I had hanged to make an example.

After wards we went into the wilds to do some chores for the locals…tedious work but it gives a change to explore the surrounding lands and get some goodwill from the locals, which will come in handy. To be short, we destroyed a local Mite infestation, located a silver mine, and forged an alliance with a local group of kobolds, the sootscale tribe. they’re a superstitious lot, which will come in handy later on.

I will send you more relevant information when I have it.

your faithfull servant

Lady Ulrika

Wondering how to get started? Here are a few tips:

1. Invite your players

Invite them with either their email address or their Obsidian Portal username.

2. Edit your home page

Make a few changes to the home page and give people an idea of what your campaign is about. That will let people know you’re serious and not just playing with the system.

3. Choose a theme

If you want to set a specific mood for your campaign, we have several backgrounds to choose from. Accentuate it by creating a top banner image.

4. Create some NPCs

Characters form the core of every campaign, so take a few minutes to list out the major NPCs in your campaign.

A quick tip: The “+” icon in the top right of every section is how to add a new item, whether it’s a new character or adventure log post, or anything else.

5. Write your first Adventure Log post

The adventure log is where you list the sessions and adventures your party has been on, but for now, we suggest doing a very light “story so far” post. Just give a brief overview of what the party has done up to this point. After each future session, create a new post detailing that night’s adventures.

One final tip: Don’t stress about making your Obsidian Portal campaign look perfect. Instead, just make it work for you and your group. If everyone is having fun, then you’re using Obsidian Portal exactly as it was designed, even if your adventure log isn’t always up to date or your characters don’t all have portrait pictures.

That’s it! The rest is up to your and your players.
