Tangia

Between the nothingness of space, stars break the brittle silence.   Some of these pools of light and noise were chosen to be the home of divine creations, collecting bodies in their orbit both large and small.   In the dark ebony of night, one such body - a Gv2 class star - collected a series of planetary bodies to worship it in orbit. During the collection period, the Divine placed a special planetary body in its orbit approximately 150 million kilometers from this star. It is the third closest planet in orbit.   Sol III, sometimes called Tangia by its inhabitants, is a land filled with wonders and magic, a world of discovery and adventure.  

Not quite the same

  In early 2018 I was (re)introduced to the world of Dungeons & Dragons, a world that I had avoided in my youth claiming that Fantasy didn't interest me. Somewhere in the vastness of promotion of the 5th edition someone mentioned that D&D was little more than cooperative storytelling - and that is what hooked me and reignited a passion for world building.   Storytelling is a passion. World building is something that was left behind in my youth. Both have now been brought together as I DM and play several times a week.   Sol III is the world for many of the games that I DM. In some ways it is similar to the Toril of the Forgotten Realms. I use some of the lore, cities, and creatures from the campaigns and other written materials, but also have begun to home-brew this world into a unique creation.   So far, two longer campaigns have occurred here - neither of which has reached its full conclusion. We began the first when I operated a toy & game store during the summer of 2018. I started an after school D&D club shortly before summer break that year and ran a series of camps for D&D during the summer.   That fall, as school returned, adult players became interested as well and somewhere between July and September of that year 7 adventures began the adventure "Out of the Abyss." Over time, players changed and when the store shut down, our location moved - but we continued almost every Friday night.   Out of the Abyss is essentially in two parts. As we concluded the first, we took a break from that campaign to enjoy a delve into "Waterdeep Dragon Heist," which, for our characters was set in the city of Ogdale. That campaign will come to a came during August of 2019 at which time, we rejoined our Abyss characters for their next step.   In June 2020, in the midst of a nationwide pandemic, 6 players completed the book portion of Out of the Abyss at level 15. Sometime in the future, the plan is to complete the journey to level 20 for those characters. Until then, 5 players and I are playing each week - exploring the political ins and outs of the continent of Raxxadia.
