About the adventure
We thought it was a simple heist. Get in, slay the dragon, and find the treasure. It was not. Weeks, months, years, who knows? Time doesn't quite flow right around here. We were looking for something, how did we end up as students in a crazy magic school? Waterdeep: Dungeon of the Mad Mage is a classic dungeon delve where you can encounter anything in the worlds of D&D. We've taken that and turned it upside down (usually not literally). In this adventure you'll encounter mecha battles, sentient constructs, time travel BS, horrible puns and an insane Spectator that sells ice cream. This will be a long-term campaign covering levels 1-20 using the modules Waterdeep: Dragon Heist and Waterdeep: Dungeon of the Mad Mage. We will skip a few holidays and special events and of course life happens to all of us, but overall it will be very rare that we miss a session. Current Roster: -Captain "Madhouse" Mira: Tabaxi Swashbuckler Rogue: Once a feared pirate captain, Mira has become the heart of the team. She often worries about her son, a capable sailor in his own right. -Samiam "Sam": Owlin Clockwork Sorcerer: There is much more to Sam than meets the eye. He is a scion of divinity with great expectations. He spends his free time tinkering with Dweomerecore's pneumatic tube system. -Seraphina: Aasimar Divine Soul Sorcerer: In the bleak grey world that is the Underdark, Seraphina was raised by a Mind Flayer 'family' and subjected to grueling tests to prove her worth. Maybe she's finally found a real family in the madness. -Syn: Changling Undead Warlock, Bard: Warlock pacts are strange things. Sometimes they involve blood rituals or sacrfiices, Other times just a lot of reading. Syn is the heir to an undead empire that is more corporate boardroom than graveyard. -Sheldon: Tortle Assassin Rogue, Arcane Archer Fighter, Fathomless Warlock: Trained from birth as a heartless killer, has Sheldon escaped his past? Or brought it with him?

How to prepare
Prefer a video demo? Everything you need to get set up can be found here: https://youtu.be/_6SyrnIG9HQ Your #1 priority is to have a working microphone, headset, and a stable internet connection. If you have those, I am always happy to help you through everything else. You will need access to Discord for voice chat. This can be on your computer or mobile device. Video chat is optional. You will need free accounts on dndbeyond.com and roll20.net. You can choose or build your character on DnD Beyond ahead of time if you like. If possible, you should also install the browser extension, "Beyond20" which will make your life much easier by letting you use DnD Beyond, Roll20, and Discord together. If you need help getting any of these set up, please contact me and I will be glad to help you out.
What I provide
I will be providing a private Discord server, virtual maps and tokens via Roll20, and all D&D sourcebooks, which I can share with you on dndbeyond.com.
Gameplay details
This campaign leans more into roleplay and storytelling than a typical dungeon delve. The mix of combat and roleplay can vary between sessions. Content may include violence, swearing, and mild sexual references and innuendos. Content will generally be PG-13 level, but the language in particular may approach Rated-R territory. I have a potty mouth. We use Roll20's built in safety deck with red(STOP), yellow (Caution) and Green (GO/approve). Real life bigotry of any kind (racism, sexism, homophobia, etc.) will not be tolerated.

How will character creation work
You may create a character ahead of time, but please be prepared to make changes at your first session. Based on Session Zero discussion, for this game we would prefer no evil characters. Character Sheets will be hosted on DND Beyond. You can use the Roll20 sheet if you like. But if you do, you will not have access to my compendium, which is hosted on DnD Beyond. You may use any official, published D&D material. No Unearthed Arcana or homebrew without prior approval. Use either Point Buy or Standard Array for abilities. Average Hit points. Start with standard starting equipment. If you are joining at a high level check Discord or message the DM about additional gear. If you don't know what any of that means, it's completely okay. We'll be happy to help you get started.
