About the adventure
For a group of 4 -5 players starting at level 5. Heavily combat-based campaign with experience points progression. The flow of the game is lighthearted and open to new players. The campaign will run through 23 levels of the Dungeon of the Mad Mage which will include encounters with all the popular races of the Forgotten Realms universe. I like to see creative characters from players and I reward roleplaying with inspiration points. I appreciate both comedic and serious fantasy characters. Race and class choices are unlimited and a player can bring any addon Dnd books including Unearthed Arcana.

About me
Hello, I have been a DM for about 6 years. My games are full of fun, excitement and hours of entertainment. I like leading a group of 4-5 players through long campaigns over the span of 6-10 months. Looking forward to seeing various backstories with both serious and fun shades

Create your characters on your vault in roll20 and when you get an invitation you could import it into the game. Feel free to multi-class or choose rare race builds(unearthed arcana included)
