About the adventure

Come and investigate what is going on in this great city, that has even enemies becoming allies.

About me

Hello everyone, I am Michael and I have been a Dungeon Master for four years, in that time I have ran over ten campaigns for many new players and have one on going for the past two years. I enjoy having a laugh at my games and letting players discover the world that awaits them and all it's secrets. As a DM I like to help create stories with my players that brings them the most amount of fun while playing. I see myself as a DM that views the rules as more of guidelines and will work around them to create a interesting game with my players. I focus mainly on 5th edition modules with my own little twist and homebrew ideas to make our games just a bit more of a unique experience. I enjoy playing with both new comers and veterans to the game to create a fun and safe space to enjoy D&D. I will also work to ensure that it is a safe space for all players. So let us start an adventure together, what do you say?

Mike is by far the best GM I have ever had the pleasure to game with. He is fair and easy going, and he knows the rules very well. But when there is a situation where the rules don’t make sense he goes by the rule of cool. He allows the players to be creative and because of this we have on occasion royally screwed up his plans. But that is where his skill with improvisation kicks in and the game continues on smoothly. Give Mike a chance no matter what the campaign is, you won’t regret it.

Me being a first time player joining a campaign/adventure into the D&D World, was a little scary going into it. But Mike made everyone feel welcomed to the point for us to be more open and make a lot of jokes with each other, which made the adventure amazing from the get go. But after getting deep into Mike's adventure, he would put us in trails/battles that would perfectly match the group. Which then made the story more rich for the players. All in all, if you want to play D&D and looking for a DM. Mikes the one. The True BOSS.

Michael is a very easy going GM allowing players freedom to explore their characters within the vivid world he brings to life. If you enjoy having fun pushing the limits of the game or just exploring both your character and the characters of your party members you will no doubt enjoy him as your GM! He has made my gaming experience truly unforgettable as an exceptional GM.

Michael is a great DM, and he makes me feel that my backstory truly matters by fitting it into the world of the story perfectly. I really enjoy the fact that we have the time and resources for role-playing, as well as challenging combat which makes me feel that I am able to use my character's ability to the full most. Joining Michael in one of his games would be one of your best choices if you want both character development and combat at the same time.

Character creation
Creating your character

When you decide to join, think of a character concept and message me the idea. We will have a session 0 to talk about backstory that might connect to this campaign. I will send you a link for D&D Beyond to join this campaign with your character and we will make our level 1 characters right there. To message me about your amazing ideas you should friend me on Discord.

The current party

This campaign will start at level 1 and will be played through the higher levels D&D. Starting with smaller adventures but of course as your characters level up, so will the campaign. So if you always wished to try this campaign or figure out what this story is about then feel free to join this adventure. I'm sure that we will have a fun time together. This campaign is currently at level 5.

What to expect
Preparing for the session

Players will need a Discord account and add me as a friend and i will add you to the server for this campaign. A microphone and headphones if you wish to list to the background music, a way to open links to view the combat maps, and a account on D&D Beyond. The D&D Beyond account is free and will help me see your characters as well as it's an easy tool to use. Also on discord a video camera is optional but will be encouraged as its a fun way to see reactions for an easier roleplay experience. Feel free to bring your own dice to play but if you don't have any there are many digital options we can try. A quiet space is encourage to sit and play this game so there are no distractions for you or other players.

What DungeonMike brings to the table

I have the module as well as many other sourcebooks to bring you a fun adventure. I will prepare the maps, the items, the ambiance, and all other things to make this a fun time.

Safety
How DungeonMike creates a safe table

This game contains a good amount of graphic violence as well as some naughty language. I would rate my game as a PG-13 rating with just a bit more language. Before the game I will request that each player fill out a Consent of Gaming form to help me know what to stay away from. During the game we will be using the open door safety tools as well as good communication should anything upset or trigger a player. Bottom line is that respectful behavior is required at all times. Disrespectful, hateful, hurtful language or behavior will not be tolerated and will be grounds for immediate removal.
