Mean Streets and Bright Lights in the City of Towers.
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
Want to see a demo video of my gaming style? Check out my level 20 gameplay demo here: https://youtu.be/Ufd9eqELr2E A conspiracy against the city, maybe the world, is exposed! A triad of ancient evil moves to secure a power buried deep beneath the foundations of Sharn. This is a dark day for the City of Towers. Epic threats require epic solutions. Are you an honest gumshoe that worked your way up from the dark alleys of the lower wards, and now fears nothing? Or maybe you prefer wheelin' and dealin' in Skyway, where you can actually look down on the people whose lives you are toying with every time you strike a bargain. One way or another, when someone needs a special kind of problem solved, they come to you. The world of Eberron features all of the familiar D&D tropes like Wizards, Elves, Goblins, and of course Dragons, but set in an early modern, steampunk type world. After a hundred years of warfare, a hundred years of constantly creating new ways to kill each other, a tenuous treaty has allowed the people to begin building towards an uncertain future. This campaign will heavily emphasize the Pulp Action and Film Noir aspects of Eberron. Think of movies like Sin City or Big Trouble in Little China for the general vibe. This is a high level adventure, join us as we face epic tier enemies and reach level 20.
Weekly, Fridays at 8:00 PM Eastern/5:00 PM Pacific 2014 Rules. As of March 09, 2025 group is level 17 and consists of a Custom Lineage Genie Warlock, Halfling Crown Paladin, Half-Elf Arcane Archer Fighter, Kalashtar Death Cleric/Necromancer Wizard and Human Assassin Rogue/Gloomstalker Ranger

I was looking to join my first adventure and sifted through StartPlaying for a DM, I was not disappointed. The particular game I was joining would require me to have to jump in near the endgame of the campaign. In less than 24hrs I had a response and a date for a session 0. From beginning to end, the process was seamless. I definitely recommend Brian! He should be your next DM. He runs multiple campaigns and I am sure that any one of them is bound to satisfy your level of comfort. Give him a shot, I know he won't disappoint. From songs to music videos, or videos summarizing your session, the attention and effort he puts in running his campaigns go above and beyond.

Flexable, puts effort into the storytelling. Some days are more story, some days are battle royale.

I'm two sessions in and having lots of fun. Encounters feel balanced but challenging enough where they are not boring. Fun interactions with fellow players and NPCs. He goes out of the way to make interactive side content that enhances the story.

How to prepare
Prefer a video demo? Everything you need to get set up can be found here: https://youtu.be/_6SyrnIG9HQ Your top priority is to have a working microphone, headset, and stable Internet connection. If you have those, I can help you with anything else. A camera is nice, but not necessary. You will need free accounts on roll20.net and dndbeyond.com. You will need to join the campaign on both services, I will provide links. I strongly recommend, but do not require, using the browser extension "Beyond 20" which allows you to use Roll20 and DnD Beyond together. You can find it here: https://beyond20.here-for-more.info/install
What I provide
I will be supplying all official DnD books via DnD Beyond. I will have prepared maps and tokens that we will use with the Roll 20 Virtual Table Top (you can use your own token if you want).
Gameplay details
Eberron is a setting that favors fast-paced combat. If the rules are unclear, I will make a fast call (usually but not always in your favor) and look up the details later. Roleplay is encouraged, but never required. First and third person RP are both equally fine. We will use the built in Safety deck on Roll20, featuring Red (Stop), Yellow (Caution), and Green (Go) cards. There will be moderate levels of violence, including murder. Themes include discrimination against minority groups, immigrants, and war veterans. Minor romantic/sexual references (PG-13 level) are possible. Language will generally be PG-13, but may drift into soft R-rated.

How will character creation work
We will be using DnD Beyond to host character sheets. Point buy abilities, avg HP, can use either standard equipment or Gold purchase. All official material is allowed. No homebrew, 3rd Party, or Unearthed Arcana without prior approval. No evil characters without discussing it ahead of time, either in session zero or privately if joining later. You may create a character ahead of time, but please be prepared to make changes based on group consensus.
