 ====== The Mariner Campaign ======
-The mariner campaign has a simple premise. A group of characters find themselves in possession of an ocean-faring sailing ship and they travel the world of Kyor in search of fortune and adventure. The campaign's short and episodic schedule will allow it to lean into a "western marches" style campaign, only on the high seas.

 ===== Game Sessions =====
-Game sessions will run for three hours from **9:00am - 12:00pm** on alternating **Sunday** mornings. I hope to start and end the game promptly, allowing us to get on with our day once the game ends. The campaign will last for twelve sessions - thirteen if you count session zero. It will run remotely over [[https://meet.google.com/qvy-khdw-zjj|Google Meet]] using [[https://app.roll20.net/join/8585525/T7v7Zw|Roll20 for the tabletop]]. The dates are:
+Game sessions ran Sunday mornings online using Roll20 from 2019-2020 along with a Google chat link.
