HighRollers: Aerois


 * Not to be confused with the world of the same name that the campaign is set in.

Aerois is the title for High Rollers D&D's second Dungeons & Dragons campaign. The campaign is scheduled to begin on July 1, 2018.

The setting for the new campaign was revealed by Mark in the final episode of the Lightfall campaign. In the 10 days running up to the launch on 1 July, the High Rollers plan to release videos revealing new pieces of information about the series and the characters they will play. Dedicated High Rollers Twitch and YouTube channels have already been announced, allowing High Rollers to separate itself from the Yogscast Live Twitch and YouTube channels, although High Rollers will continue to be streamed and uploaded to Yogscast Live as usual. The new campaign will be available as a podcast on a variety of platforms, too.

Aerois has been confirmed to be seperate from the world the Lighfall campaign took place in.

The World of Aerois
Created by Mark Hulmes, Aerois is a world of floating cities, dangerous and wild countryside, interplanetary magic and alien technology.

In a typical D&D campaign, the world is based on the planes of existence where the material plane is the nexus of the other planes. In the Aerois campaign, Aerois is depicted as a planet (the material plane) within a system of other planets and celestial bodies (the other planes). For example, Mark describes the Plane of Fire as a planet possibly with fiery volcanic lands, while the Shadowfell could be a barren moon that now house ruins of a fallen kingdom. Starships and planar magic are used as interplanetary travel.

Trivia

 * Prior to the start of the Aerois campaign, Mark revealed in a video that he would be invoking the injury table rule from the Dungeon Masters guide for this season. This was done to introduce a greater element of danger to fights, with the possibility for injuries to impede the players.
