Game Design and Summary

This Zelda Campaign will use a pbta hack of dungeon world and take place vaguely on the breath of the wild map with fun extras added in. We will be playing hot and fast when it comes to dice rolls, The group is of expereinced Lit rpers so the rp will probably apear to be one from the outside with invisible dice rolls handled on our discord with dice bots.

• The Map

• 
  we're gonna defeat a bbeg guy who isn't Gannon. A guy who thinks the interlopers were right. He wants to resurrect Queen Ambi, reconnect with the twilight realm and destroy Hyrule. This is bad. Because you live in Hyrule.
  
  This Story takes place on the map of Breath of the wild but ignores much of that games plot. Notably castle town is alive and bustling!
