Description
A completed, fully fleshed out Undead GM campaign with stickies for Game Masters to navigate it with ease.
My 5th, best, last and favourite campaign, in which i combined everything i learned, i consider it my legacy, it took me years to finish it.

Description

7th Ward is a combat focused 'evil' dungeon crawler. By evil i mean you are playing the bad guys, but only player characters are supposed to be evil, not players themselves.
That means that you still work together as a group towards a common goal, you don't do PvP or backstab your teammates.

The main emphasis of this campaign is quick progression(which is a breath of fresh air in DOS2 GM mode), balanced but challenging combat, rich loot, cool story with top notch vignettes(30+ with custom Borders), exploration, and social interaction.
There will be rewarding secrets, unlockable merchants, impactful ingame choices and dice rolls with consequences.
The aim was to achieve a certain aesthetic feel/look/theme for the whole campaign, so the tone/mood/vibe is dark, grim, and sinister, with closed spaces like dungeons, sewers and caves.


''You are servants of an Archlich, who reanimated you to do his bidding in the conquest of other races and to act as his group of infiltrators and assassins.
Your soul is bound to his wishes and commands, at least for now..
Thou it would seem like you have free will, it would be wise of you to obey his orders.
You are to serve as his elite task force that come into play when sheer numbers do not tip the odds in favour of the numerous undead army.
He summoned you to aid him in the search of a forgotten relic that will help him ascend to godhood - the mysterious 7th Ward.''



Concerning combat, AI is playing the enemies to improve the speed of battles(we all know how they can drag on forever in DOS2), and you can help too by planning your next turn while others play theirs.
As a GM, jump in from time to time, mostly during boss fights, to add your bit of 'flare' to it.
As a player, be careful how you initiate the fight, the outcome might depend on it. Help your party members, share the loot and don't hog the vendors for too long. Communicate with your team on what you plan to do next.

Character creation rules
Undead race is a requirement
-The party is starting at lvl 1, with +1 starting skill, not in rags, max level is 10
-You get to have BOTH Play Dead AND your race skill(Flesh Sacrifice, Dragon's Blaze, Encourage or Petrifying Touch)
-Each of you get a unique Seal Amulet at the start that gives a source skill depending on your class(choice of 10)
-On start you vote if you as a party want to share highest Bartering value, and if you do, you periodically remind the GM to equalize it

Restrictions
Thievery, Lone Wolf talent(unless not a full party), Dome of Protection(until late game), Telekinesis in combat, Conjure Incarnate, and running out of and re-entering the fight

Difficulty
Moderate/Hard

Type
Story / Combat Oriented / Replayable / Light Roleplay

Duration
2 sessions(~4 hrs each) or a longer one-shot(~8 hrs)

Other/Trivia
-my motto when i was making this campaign was 'quality over quantity'
-has very high replay value due to the itemization and variety of available builds and gear combinations
-interesting unique/different team, status, healing and surface dynamic because you're all undead
-Bone Dust is a secondary currency used to level up your gear, or get a respec or permanent attribute boost
-ideal for your first GM campaign either as a Player or Game Master, beginner friendly, while also having a high skill ceiling and potential for veterans of DOS2
-DOS2 Definitive Edition version, no mods required, making it easy and simple to setup with very fast initial load time

Any feedback would help a lot since i plan to make balance, polish and content updates.
