I was worried that most of the cantrips and 1st level spells seem to be blood... based... and I hadn't really thought of a way to rp that... with an ashborn... but I think I got it sorted lol... took me a minute to see it. But I'm good now.
I'll be blunt. I'm definitely postponing the campaign for now. I'm going to try and get back to reading, but I've done almost none in the actual book, and less than half of the DM guide.
Everytime I try and get things going something happens that forces me to delay or my life falls apart around me. I just haven't had the energy, mental health or time to really get my feet under me with this.
I'm going to hope this won't be more than a month or two delay but the world feels like it's conspiring against me.
