Dungeon of the Mad Mage - For Doom or Glory! | Level 15

Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign

About the adventure

A dungeon complex beyond measure, 🏛️ And a mad mage who lives in its gloom. 🧙🏻 Will you behold limitless treasure? 🪙 Or will just find your own doom!! 💀 Below the bustling coastal metropolis of Waterdeep, lies Undermountain, a dungeon so deep and so vast, that myriad monsters roam its halls, deadly traps still wait to be sprung, and numerous factions vie for territory within. Whispered rumors speak of ancient vaults, magical laboratories, and even a small city within its depths. Many adventurers have come to Undermountain seeking wealth, glory, or secrets lost within its endless passages. Some of them have even returned alive. This time, it is your turn. You are about to enter Undermountain because you are brave, foolish, or perhaps a bit of both. It only costs one gold coin to enter Undermountain, but getting back out may cost you your life! This is a 5e campaign for 3-6 adventurers and will span from level 5 to 20. The campaign will use tactical maps for exploration and combats. This is a tale of exploration, danger, and deceit in a dungeon like no other!

Additional details

How to prepare

A microphone is required to participate. A webcam is encouraged, but not necessary. I will have my camera on, and I'd love to see you too! We will be using Discord and Roll20 to play, so you will need (free) accounts for both of them. You might want to download the Discord client as well. Dice and character sheets will be handled within Roll20.

What I provide

As GM, I will provide the adventure itself, including maps and tokens. I will provide access to sourcebooks through D&D Beyond. I can provide pre-generated characters on request. Dice rolling may be handled through Roll20, through D&D Beyond (with the Beyond20 browser extension), or with physical dice.

Gameplay details

Dungeon of the Mad Mage is an adventure story of full of vile villains, desperate fools, terrible traps, and otherworldly menaces. This game will contain elements of violence and peril comparable to a PG-13 rated film. Please let me know if there are additional things I need to be aware of to maintain your comfort and safety. Racism, sexism, transphobia, ableism, and all other discrimination will not be tolerated.

How will character creation work

We will discuss character ideas and the party's backstory during Session 0. Please send your character sheet to me at least 24 hours before the Session 1 for approval. I am available to talk through character creation ahead of time, and can provide a pre-generated character upon request. Player characters are 5th level with starting equipment (and an additional 500gp). Use the Standard Array or 27 Point Buy for ability scores. Any officially published material is available for use, and homebrew and customization will be allowed, subject to review.
