About the adventure
The Primordial Temple The fortune tellers have gone mad! A great portend has shown the Temple of Elemental Evil will appear in the Crystalmist Mountains within a fortnight! Only those brave enough to enter the elemental chaos should attempt it, for it will fade back into the Primordial Planes within hours once it has appeared. Will you get trapped and damned to a life in the Elemental Planes, or will you escape with treasures from exotic places? A special private adventure for players of the Greyhawk Lives! campaign. You should create a 7th level character for this adventure. You do not have to play previous adventures for it to make sense; its written as a one-shot in a series of one-shots. This is a "Mixer" game. Its intent is that players can mix-and-match groups with new friends across our groups. This adventure will not give XP, but will give money, favors, and homebrew items not otherwise available to the campaign. This is a $10 adventure. All of the proceeds will go to boost "Vecna's Secrets", a library of DM books and monsters on Roll20 so the DM can have a broader access to content when creating games.

About me
Hail and Well Met Gamers! Some call me... Jeremy Jordan. I am an old gamer, game designer, RPG enthusiast, and have always held the belief that a game should be fun. I have worked on a lot of projects over the years, mostly D&D related. I was a Delegate for Wizards of the Coast, in addition to one of their convention staff. I helped launch 4th and 5th edition D&D, and have been playing since 1st edition. Recently I helped design and launch The Land Roleplaying System, based off of the best selling Chaos Seeds novels by Dr. Aleron Kong. In 2022 I moved 1000 miles from my player base to Florida, and am looking to once again run games for anyone willing to share a story with me. I'm happy to run D&D 3.5/4/5 for any group, and am currently setting up campaign terms for The Land Roleplaying System. I have an established Roll20 account with decent macros- please contact me if you would like to set up a gaming session. I tend to be corny - and I'm more about having fun with players than beating someone up over a ruling - and I will do my best to ensure we all have a good time.

Creating your character
For this adventure, characters are pre-made. In a closed group of six friends, I'd be happy to let everyone play whatever they wanted, but in a "pick-up" group of strangers, the pre-made characters are well rounded and work as a group. If you don't understand what that means as you are newer to the game, don't worry, all you need to do is show up and we'll give you a character and teach you how to play. We will also allow the players to determine who plays which character, in the chat before we start the game.
Things are getting strange in the World of Greyhawk! Play the Stranger Things Starting Set with us, and learn to play Dungeons and Dragons in an adventure written by Mike Wheeler (or, so the author claims), co-written by his friend "Will the Wise". You will help a local noble fight a monster that has been terrorizing the countryside, and make some awesome friends in the process. We will teach you how to play, and all in-game materials are provided.

What Jeremy Jordan brings to the table
Everything Else. I have the adventure, pro accounts on Roll20 and multiple other platforms, and lots of fun. I am running a weekly Greyhawk D&D campaign that this can feed into if players want to keep the fun going after this.

Safety
How Jeremy Jordan creates a safe table
I use several API's (program scripts) to speed up combat and make it easier to understand for newer players. I'm not very rules heavy if it slows down the game, but I will advise players that don't know how to play, or players that are unsure of what they should do if things slow down. As I have over 30 years of DM experience, I have a lot of improv techniques to keep things going, but I always advise players to look past their character sheet and imagine what they would do in that situation.
