About the adventure
"Two years under this curse leaves only two kinds: Cowardice or Conviction. Which are you?" -Azaka Stormfang 🌳🧟🌴🦕🌧️🐅🌿🦎🍃🦖🌋🐉 Chult's Jungles are Full of Zombies, Dinosaurs, Magic and Adventure... and Dinosaur Zombies. You ready to Romp? 🦖 Fight Ferocious Fauna 🧟 Kill HOARDS of Undead 💀 Enjoy a Bleak-Yet-Humorous World 📍 Complete The Omuan Atlas 🔍 Deduce the Forbidden City's Location ✨ Dispel the Death Curse ⏳ But can you outrun it's creeping clock? 🌳🧟🌴🦕🌧️🐅🌿🦎🍃🦖🌋🐉 The Death Curse is killing the world. Many who die arise as undead, and any who're resurrected waste away. With death, souls are reaped away now, collected by the curse. But Chultan arcanists have managed to trace where they go... deep into their untracked jungles. From Nyanzaru an expedition mounts, one that could be the mortal realm's last gasp of air.... Tomb of Annihilation is a daring, hilarious, meaty, and dangerous adventure. I'll present you with tactical challenges, sweeping story, and roleplay opportunities all in equal measure. An absolute romp, Tomb is a D&D lover's adventure, and one you can change the face of as I'll welcome weaving your character's story into the very fabric of the experience. Additionally, I improve the adventure with my own personal designs as a professional D&D designer. I've designed monsters and adventures for this game professionally for years, including multiple publications now available on DND Beyond! I address many common complaints levied at Tomb of Annihilation, with modifications including: 🕒 A slower timeclock to allow the party to properly explore Chult 📚 Softening and foreshadowing the tonal shifts found late in the adventure 🏵️ Highlighting Chult's locals and culture to bring it alive as more than just an adventure map ⚰️ Creating narratively justified opportunities to continue your character's story beyond death 😈 Active villains (shhh, secrets) Experience Tomb of Annihilation like never before! Weave yourself into legend in this high-stakes story of daring and wits. Will this be the end of the Material Plane? Will you return heroes to all the world? You decide. Blaze Your Trail 🔥 ~Run by an Official MCDM 5e Designer~

About me
DND Beyond published Writer/Designer (check out MCDM's Flee, Mortals! and Where Evil Lives), bachelor's in Communication Studies with a focus on small group communication from the University of Washington, and over a decade running tabletop RPGs. I'm a narrative-heavy GM with deep rules knowledge, and a healthy understanding of when to bend them! My favorite things are to stir what my players give me into the main story of the campaign, and those wild moments where the whole table smiles wide. I've a strong knowledgebase of the rules, but I'm also flexible and adaptable, able to roll with any punch you throw at me—there's no rails where we're going! With over a decade of experience running TTRPGs, I've game mastered for live actual play shows for years now. I've played heavy tactical, to soap opera, to comedic romps, to deep character exploration. Every game of every style deserves a fun narrative through line to underscore the game. My favorite games to run are D&D 5e, Fabula Ultima, Blades in the Dark, and Quest, but I'm also a rules-text devourer. I love to learn new systems and introduce them to my groups. As a freelance writer and rules editor who focuses on player-facing options and monster design, I can make your wild homebrew character concept a reality! Stemming from my communication degree, safety is the foundation of every one of my games. I highly prioritize open lines of communication and want us all to have a great time playing a game that's fun for everyone at the table.

Creating your character
Our Session 0 will have relaxed time for everyone to ask questions, chat about PC-to-PC and PC-to-World bonds, and button up characters. We'll jump into the action by Session 1!
Friday Evenings (Pacific Time) Currently: Level 12, Elite Ability Score Arrays, One Bonus Feat, 2024 Rules, Backwards Compatibility Welcome. Reviews from THIS GROUP: — "Nat has a great blend of RP and combat. He also interacts with each character, asking questions in a way that invites RP and opportunities for each of us players to flesh out our characters!" — "This is a GM who wants his players to have a really great time and get to do all the things they want without taking away the fun of anyone else. He is creative, fun, and just all around a wonderful human being. I could not recommend him enough. Play his games. They are awesome." — "It's just a great way to get into D&D, having a DM that knows his stuff and reminds you of things you can do."
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Discord and mic required, with camera sharply heightening the experience. I'm running this game with a cloud-hosted Foundry Virtual Tabletop, and a Zoom call (no downloads). I also content share the DND Beyond Legendary Bundle, so no need to buy sourcebooks. IF YOU'RE NEW(ER) TO D&D, ~don't sweat it~, I'd love to help ya out, and I'll have pre-made characters on hand.
What Nat! brings to the table
A Foundry VTT world ready to augment this story, a paid Zoom account, a DND Beyond content sharing-enabled campaign, a game designer's perspective, thousands of hours of gamemastering experience, and the intention to have a lot of fun together!
