Anthanos
In the Shadow of Gods
The sun breaks out across the even plain as the two forces behold one another. Their coloured banners ripple in the wind. Their battle horns sound out across the lines. All around, helms are donned, spears sharpened and blades readied. The untested young king of the marble city stands tense on his mount. His eyes fixed on the enemy and the great city behind them. This is his moment; he will carve it in blood.
Meanwhile far away a seer tosses in her sleep, her mind filled with images that are to numerous to count. She begs for the sweet release of waking but is trapped in the darkness. She knows now; this is their moment. They will destroy everything.
Hi, I’m Badger a writer, ancient historian and dungeon master with a huge amount of experience in worldbuilding and roleplaying. I am completely inclusive to LGBTQ+ and everyone is welcome at my table no matter your background. I endeavor to have each player feel welcomed and included, whatever path they choose. If you are looking for an engaging and fulfilling story in an incredible homebrew setting then I am the DM for you.
Roleplaying games are all about the journey and it is something I put at the forefront of my campaigns. I put huge effort into making an engaging and immersive world where you connect with a truly adaptive story. I put all my passion and hard work into creating the best possible experience for my players. I want you to have a story that makes you laugh, cry, and everything in between. So that by the end you will have a journey to remember long after the dice get put away.
An adaptive and immersive world
the world will shift and change with your actions as you move through it and your legend grows. You may become a glorious hero or a well-renowned trickster or even a fear-inspiring madman the choice is up to you.
Interesting homebrew mechanics
Things like glory and godly relations make this game unique in a number of ways. Bargain with the gods for better gifts or suffer the long journey of recovering from a terrible wound. Nothing is without consequence.
Fun and engaging RP
All NPCs are thoroughly fleshed out and realistic characters with their own wants, beliefs, and feelings. They will react and develop around you dependant on their own wants and desires.
Developed Factions and Cultures
There are over 9 major cultures in this world, each one with many intertwining minor factions within. For example, the Mysthric city-states are actually composed of 10 minor cities each with their own culture attitudes and way of life. From the wild Indonesian style pirate dwarves of the Dunn Isles to the distant Isles of Misty Culunoc there is a huge world at your feet. If you want to learn more about the factions check out the faction tab.
Not Just a Mythology Reskin
Many mythological settings simply recreate the mythology with different names. That is not the case here. each culture is inspired by a particular mythology and culture but great lengths have been taken to make this an original and unique setting.
No Two Stories The Same
I do not run any modules and all my stories are completely unique and in the hands of my players. When you join a session with me you can be sure you are entering a narrative never before experienced by any other.
Fromer Players
DND is nothing without a compelling storyteller and Matt is a master storyteller. Once a week, I get to lose myself completely in his immersive and intricately detailed world. I laugh, I cry, I laugh till I cry… It’s the best!
Badger creates incredibly complex and dynamic worlds filled with fascinating characters. He’s a skilled voice actor and amazing storyteller. He’s also incredibly inclusive as a DM – as a queer female D&D player it was wonderful to encounter non stereotypical representation of female characters and LGBTQ+ characters in the game. I would strongly recommend Badger as a DM to any player.
Without having enough words on this review to do it justice, I must state that playing in Matt’s game is beyond a unique experience. From the day I first sat at his table, I’ve felt taken into account and pampered with an original and mysterious world to interact with. The immersion and excitement I’ve experienced session after session combined with the kindness and companion nature of Matt, always leave me craving for the next one.
Badger is a fantastic DM. During one of the more difficult times in my life. I spent every weekend roleplaying in his game. It was something I could truly look forward to every week. He created a world where my actions had effects and consequences. NPC’s had life and conscious, mysteries were abound and discoverable, RP was astounding, combat was fluid and engaging, and every player had a chance to shine.
