=Welcome to the world of Sunlight Falls=

In January 2012, we started playing D&D as a group, starting with [[Safe Words | the Safe Words]] games! Khris wrote these games with a specific narrative and were arranged into a “Season 1” and Season 2". After these games, the original line-up of players changed and we transitioned to other games. Our final [[Safe Words]] game happened in 2017. With the success of these games, later in 2012, we introduced the [[Pick-Up Games]], which are usually one- or two-episode games with a loose ongoing story structure. These mostly involved the [[Lents Irregulars]].

In 2017, Khris introduced the [[Explorer’s Club]] games, which were geared for newer players but also helped transition us from playing D&D 3.5 edition to the 5th edition of the game.

In 2018, we played our first campaign, [[Shrine of the Coyote]]. This campaign was written by Khris and lasted for either five or six games.

In 2019, we played our first published campaign, [[Curse of Strahd]]. Khris modified a lot of the module as written, including changing the Vistani into the [[Visitani]]. Many other problematic aspects of the game were left in.

In 2020, while staying at home during the pandemic, we began our first online campaign, [[Descent Into Avernus]].

In 2021, we began occasionally playing [[Dungeon of the Mad Mage]] as an online-only game.

-In January 2012, [[Khris Soden]] convinced a group of friends to play D&D, starting with the [[Safe Words | the Safe Words]] games. Khris wrote these games with a specific narrative and they were arranged into a “Season 1” and "Season 2". After these initial games, the original line-up of players changed and Khris transitioned to other games, introducing the [[Pick-Up Games]], which started as one- or two-episode games with a loose ongoing story structure. These mostly involved the [[Lents Irregulars]] and evolved into an ongoing narrative centered around the town of [[Lents]].

-In 2020, while staying at home during the pandemic, we began our first online campaign, [[Descent Into Avernus]]. [[Descent Into Avernus]] is another D&D published campaign, and has been played with only minor cosmetic changes. In April of 2021, the first "in-person" [[Descent Into Avernus]] game was held in [[Katy Asher | Katy Asher's]] backyard.

-==A Brief History of the Sunlight Falls setting==
+==Player Characters==
-The Sunlight Falls calendar is based off of the first appearance of the holy light at Sunlight Falls, with year 1 marking the first year anniversary of the appearance of the light. Our D&D games started in [[year 317]], and the current games are set in [[year 324]]. Some of the major events of recent Sunlight Falls history follow:

+* Eugenia Trill
-* [[Year 317]]: The town of Powell's Camp is renamed as [[Lents]] in honor of the farmer that saved it from eminent destruction by the nearby Elven community of [[Yllodah]].
+* Gabilan

+* Samel
-* [[Year 322]]: A calamity in the fall or winter of the year happens to the nearby town of [[Cheater's Holler]], leading to the death of most of its populace. The destruction is so thorough that outsiders won't discover the horrors until the next spring.

+* Torq
