D&D with Joe invites players into a drop in, drop out campaign where everyone brings a 3rd level character. Space is limited to seven players. For questions or coordination, contact Joe Seals on Facebook or message @tydoxo (Jow S) on Discord. The adventure unfolds in a grim, politically tangled realm made entirely of sweets. Characters take on wildly risky errands for rival houses, scheme against villains and rulers to elevate their faction’s influence, or try to seize the candy-coated throne. Expect to gather resources, weave them into clever blueprints, slip into places that should be unbreachable, and nudge a fractured kingdom toward your designs. Smooth words can open doors, but knives may answer from the shadows... the Sucrosian way. The goal is to wander through strange locales, meet unusual figures, and collaborate to make this bizarre confectionary world feel vivid and grounded, even as you plunder it. Beyond treasure and renown, the unfolding story digs into the heroes’ backstories and the bittersweet core of the setting, building toward an effort to unseat the Sucrosian Overlord. The tone leans secretive and tense, with room for twists and betrayals. Social missteps might not draw blood immediately, yet an insult today could invite an attack in broad daylight later.
