The Wizard's Wish - A D&D 5e Campaign (level 11)
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
The word is out. The Archwizard's Genie has been stolen, his apprentice on the run. Power-brokers from all the city-states are sending agents to collect. The gig is simple, grab the lamp and three wishes are yours. A high fantasy game of politics, pride, prudence and power. Featuring power-hungry cultists, star-crossed lovers, plenty of dungeons and more than a few dragons. An adventure for new or old players alike. Explore bustling cities, deep forests, wizard towers and crumbling ruins. A 3d VTT campaign through Talespire & discord. Set in That Damned Mage's shared campaign setting of Haven. A world bristling with magical energies, threatened by eldritch and demonic horrors. This campaign takes place in the city states of Yor. A collection of rival, sometimes allied cities with a shared founder. Each city with its own quirks and unique philosophy. This delicate power balance is threatened with the loss of a wish granting Genie, stolen by the Archwizard of Narathon's rogue apprentice. This magical superweapon is now up for grabs and the protection it offered the city of Narathon from its rivals, evaporated. Will you work to restore the balance or have you greater ambitions?
Game style
Theater of the Mind
“Theater of the Mind” uses little to no visuals for scene settings and combat. Instead, the narrative imagery comes from the Game Master’s descriptions and character action and movement comes from Players’ descriptions.

Very creative, makes you feel like you're part of the world that your character is in. Fun setting and storyteller. I highly recommend that you at least try his game once, but be careful because you will be hooked.

That Damned Mage has been amazing. I joined a game that was 4 sessions in progress, and he did a phenomenal job working with me to build my backstory into the vast world he has created, introduce my character in a meaningful way, and I haven't looked back! His world and story telling are exquisite and detailed, his characters are fun and nuanced, and he is super patient and encouraging with new players without sacrificing at all the gameplay for those who have played before. I look forward to every session we play, and am bummed each time one ends. I highly recommend this GM and will definitely look to play at his table as often as I am able!

Great first session, looking forward to the next games! DM is friendly, knowledgeable, very competent and manages to keep the game at a good pace and fair for everyone.

I was incredibly nervous playing with random folks on the internet but Mage made it easy. The game was simple and loose and I was seamlessly integrated into the party via connections created by Mage. Would recommend.

The DamnedMage is a sharp improviser, a willing collaborator and an adept storyteller. They were able to fully realize important aspects of my character's backstory almost immediately, which make me (as a relative novice) feel like my player presence and character choices had impact and consequence. They consistently facilitate an electric atmosphere within the campaign, which leads to high-energy player and PC interaction, and I always leave each session excited and inspired for the next. Incredible visuals, top-tier voice-acting, and quite frankly a kind and genuine nature make DamnedMage a terrific choice for anyone looking to have a great time Dungeoning some Dragons.

I've been playing with Gavin for several years now and I can't imagine playing with any other DM. His sense of humour and dramatic beats are spectacular, and he manages combat encounters with an excellent balance of fun and accuracy. He's never been stumped by creative solutions, and always pushes his players to advance the story through their own actions and choices. 10/10 would recommend.
