EPIC League - The next chapter within the Shattered Storm

If you have frequented EPIC or enquired about Dungeons and Dragons, you’ve likely heard of EPIC League and if you haven’t then be informed on what you’re missing out on!

What is EPIC League?

EPIC League (EL) is a yet another form of organised play for Dungeons & Dragons… with a twist: Each table is a different town and adventuring party in the same world! This means actions and choices you make affect other tables around you!

The story and adventures take place in the Demi Plane of Thoroz – outside the Forgotten Realms, Eberron, Tal’Dorei or any other established D&D universe, though adventurers may originate from any of these universes.

Adventurers and other brave souls are dragged through the veil by some unknown power and now must struggle to survive the harsh unforgiving landscape that is Thoroz. The world is inspired by prehistoric Australia, dark fantasy, and the Dread Domains of Dungeons and Dragons (featured in ‘Curse of Strahd’ and ‘Van Richten’s Guide to Ravenloft’). One of the main storytelling elements employed in this season of EPIC League is the mystery of the unknown, so it would be a major spoiler to reveal any more details here

What has happened in the campaign so far?

That’s a lot to cover, each table is a different town and the towns so far have been focusing on rebuilding after each one was obliterated by a dragon attack. The towns have spent the last couple of months rebuilding society and thwarting different dragon-worshipping cults.

There are also seemingly paranormal shades, ghost-like entities that naturally inhabit the plane and observe the goings-on. Shades have been discovered to be able to pose as normal humanoids and have been known to attack individuals and copy their abilities.

The last but pivotal point that has been central to the story so far, is the Everstorm. An ever-present storm that encompasses the entire world and reacts violently to goings-on in the world.

When is EPIC League?

EPIC League takes place EVERY Wednesday night with games starting at 6. I can promise as a Dungeon Master (DM) that runs a table, the DMs put so much time and effort into establishing world lore and interacting with each other’s tables behind the scenes to give the most enjoyable experience to all of the Leagues players.

Your Friend and Ally,

The website got a facelift

It has been busy busy busy behind the scenes here at EPIC Ipswich over the past fortnight. Prep work for the Benevolent Owners shared vacation, juggling the change in the store's layout, new til systems, new television menus, and becoming increasingly popular. This isn't even factoring in the change in menu, or the upcoming events planned. We have been busy and you can trust I'll give you, loyal readers, a store update once we get time. In the meantime, our website has been updated by yours truly. When I first did the original website home page I had the essential elements, with a lot of my working hours, I've been making the website more streamlined and more friendly to our bandwidth. Please note, that the game pages are still to be updated to provide you more information about what we do here. In the mean time, anticipate big things on the horizon. I saw some streaming gear in the offices.... I suspect it will have something to do with videos on the social media end....

What is Adventurers League?

Adventurers League is a standardised and regulated form of Dungeons & Dragons . It uses the rules as written in the official D&D books, so you don't need to worry about any homebrew rules. Character creation is limited to the Players Handbook and one other source, which means you don't have to worry about anyone making characters that are too game-breaking, as well as all the possible worlds you can end up in are all published D&D settings To put it simply, Adventurers League takes all of the guesswork out of D&D. The stories are already written, the rules are plainly outlined, and everything is structured. So it is a great place to learn as a player and even as a Game Master Each session is a short self-contained 2-4 hour story, though some will make callbacks to other stories you won't miss much if you can only come in once a fortnight instead of every week, unlike other games where it always feels like when you miss one session you end up missing ...
