What is a living campaign?

A living campaign is a shared campaign setting for an rpg with a codified set of rules for the campaign that govern how to build and advance characters as well as how the campaign will handle rules elements of the setting. Campaign staff create, distribute, and manage new adventures in that campaign setting, allowing players all over the world to play their living character in the same campaign at various venues anytime, anywhere. New players are ALWAYS welcome. We'll have pregenerated characters available in case you aren't able to make one yourself.

Ashes of Athas (AoA)

Type: RPG - Living Campaign
System: D&D 4e
Experience: None required, some would help.
Materials: Pencil, Dice, You will need to either grab a pregenerated character on-site or make a level 3 AoA character in advance following the character creation rules in the AoA Campaign Guide.

Welcome to the world of Athas, where the crimson sun drenches a blasted desert landscape and savagery is a way of life.

Ashes of Athas is a continuing 4e D&D campaign set in the world of the Dark Sun campaign setting. PCs will take up the mantle of heroism in a grim world where simple survival cannot be taken for granted. At gaming conventions throughout the year, these heroes will shape the world of Athas while they grow in power and prestige - or die trying.

When we begin, your character has been asked to aid a secretive faction of the Veiled Alliance in the Free City of Tyr against an unknown assailant.

Live the Story - Ashes of Athas is a single campaign told in a series of Chapters, each at a large gaming convention (Currently D&D Experience, Origins, and Gencon). Your character will experience a coherent story of struggle and (hopefully) triumph in the Tablelands of Athas.
Play Together - Each Chapter consists of a set of 3 adventures set at a specific level - if you're just getting started, you'll make a character close to the current level of the campaign.
Change the World - Every chapter is part of an evolving story where *your* choices can change the world, and the efforts of *your* character determine the shape of future chapters.
Leave the Tolkien at Home - Ashes of Athas is a massive shared-world campaign set on the harsh world of Athas, a scorched desert where might rules and life is just another resource to exploit.

In the years since, the Spellplague has ravaged the world, changing the way magic works and leaving many bearing strange spellscars (even the great Elminster of Shadowdale!) Abeir and other realms have new peoples and problems with them. As Netherese, Zhentarim, and Thayan agents plot and scheme, who will stand against them, against the petty thugs roving the countryside, and against the horrible plaguechanged monsters whispered about in the alleys of Waterdeep & taverns of Baldur's Gate and glimpsed among the ruins of Neverwinter? A living campaign for players of all skill levels that will determine the fate of Abeir-Toril.
