The Chronicles of Cadilon
The Chronicles of Cadilon was one of the more ambitious and fun projects we ever did at The Deck Box (in my totally biased opinion!). It was a shared D&D world, where we had 10 or more games running in the same world every week. Each Dungeon Master (DM) would write their own stories and content within the world, and each week the world would change based on what happened. If a group found an ancient tomb it was added to the map for others to find. If a group failed to find the ancient artifact in that tomb it remained there for someone else. If a group upset the king by returning and trying to pass off a replica as the real ancient artifact there might be warrants out for their arrest!
The Chronicles of Cadilon started back in early 2019. From the beginning I wanted to slowly roll out a larger world spanning story that would affect every game. The story was a simple one: A Lich from The Negative Energy Plane found a way to come to Cadilon and let loose an undead, supernatural plague on the world. The Lich first came to Cadilon and started doing some recon. I asked DMs to start to have zombies as random encounters. This was planned so the Lich would be revealed to the players in November/December of 2019 and he was going to have finished opening the bleed in February 2020 - and all this went according to plan! Four groups banded together to stop him. They searched for his phylactery, his hideout, and went together to fight him and close the bleed to save the world.
Turns out I can see the future, because we all know what happened in 2020. Way to prophetic of me, right after I had the DMs announce the zombie plague - Covid happened. Within a short number of weeks the plague from my D&D stories became real. The world shut down, and it ended our shared D&D world. I’ll admit I was a little devastated. The shared world was such a cool idea and such a big undertaking and I had such an amazing team of DMs all working together that it was sad to see it stop.
Well, I am very happy to announce that we are starting D&D again at The Deck Box! We will resume our games in a world that has survived a devastating undead plague, a world that has been locked up and closed down for decades, which means it is a world where there is mystery, ruins, and things to discover!
