Arcanum Adventuring Academy (High School D&D!)
About the adventure
Welcome to Arcanum High School, a magical institution where the students are gifted with extraordinary powers and the staff are skilled in the ways of the arcane. But all is not well in this enchanted school. A dark force threatens to tear the school apart from within, as a rogue teacher, Professor Malleus, seeks to unlock the secrets of death and the afterlife. He has an army of undead at his command and he is using them to infiltrate the school, kidnap students and staff for his twisted experiments, and sabotage the school's operations. The players take on the roles of students at Arcanum High School, each with their own unique abilities and talents. They must navigate the challenges of high school life while also mastering their magical abilities and uncovering the secrets of the school. They will have to face Professor Malleus and his undead minions in order to save the school and its people, and put an end to his twisted experiments. Along the way, they will have to contend with rival school Ravenhold Academy, whose powerful students and instructors look down on Arcanum High School as inferior. The players will have to use their wits and their powers to uncover the truth, protect their school and its people, and stop Professor Malleus before it's too late. With the help of the school's staff, including Principal Stormbringer and the quirky janitor, Mr. Gizmo, the players will embark on an epic adventure filled with magic, mystery, and danger. Will they be able to save Arcanum High School and put an end to Professor Malleus's nefarious plans?

About me

View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
Characters will start at level 1. We will be creating characters together in session 0. We will create them on D&D Beyond using my shared library of every D&D book.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Webcam is not required but a good microphone is. While no understanding of how D&D is played is required, reading how combat works is absolutely encouraged. We will work together to make your character. Each player will only need to add a couple of extensions to google chrome (or Microsoft edge).
What Dylan brings to the table
I will bring every single sourcebook available for character creation with my D&D Beyond Legendary bundle set. I will have maps and music for ambiance and lots of individual character voices. I will also bring any and all safety tools that the group may want to use.

How Dylan creates a safe table
I will have a form for everyone to fill out that joins going over our rules and guidelines and what each player is individually comfortable with. Session 0 will go over character creation and an outline of what the players can expect in the campaign.
