Dungeons & Dragons 5e, Level Up Advanced 5th Edition | Campaign

About the adventure

"They say the story goes something like this: gods found the world, claimed it, banished the evil ones, and gave magic to the people." - the orc continues cleaning his tools as if he'd told this story a thousand times - "Then the people got greedy, see? A war broke out. The biggest one this world has ever seen, they say. The Prime ones, the Betrayers, mages, and common folk like me and you!" - he stops to look you in the eye - "And some lucky bastards - or unlucky depending on where you stand - were chosen to champion the gods. Each champion represented one god. Except for Alyxian... He was chosen by three." 🏳️‍🌈 LGBTQ+ Friendly | 🦺 Safe Space | 👫 Welcoming All Genders | 🔞 Adults 18+ Only In this adventure, you will find: ✅ Ruidus, the red moon ✅ Ancient Heroes and New Rivals ✅ Buried and forgotten history ✅ Plenty of enemies to throw your frustrations at Are you an experienced player looking for a long-term campaign?

I may not be able to select every tag for this review, but Miguel truly checks every box as a DM. He has an innate talent for not only creating immersive, story rich campaigns, but facilitating a truly welcoming and engaging experience. He’s an insightful and enthusiastic educator, and a true professional in the community. I cannot express how much fun I’ve had during my time exploring the world he sculpts for his players.

If you're looking for a Game Master who truly elevates the tabletop experience, Miguel is the one. He’s not just running a game—he’s crafting a world where your choices matter, where actions carry weight, and where every player is given space to shine. Whether you're stepping into your first session or you're a seasoned player, Miguel creates an inclusive, welcoming environment where roleplaying feels safe, immersive, and deeply rewarding. One of his greatest strengths is his ability to read the table—knowing exactly when to bring a moment of emotional depth or excitement to the forefront. Even during breaks or downtime, he has a way of gently guiding everyone back into the story, keeping the energy and immersion alive. If you’re someone who wants to build a character whose decisions truly shape the narrative and impact those around them, Miguel is the GM you’ve been searching for. He brings meaning, connection, and genuine care to every game he runs. I’d recommend him to anyone—without hesitation.

I think most of the reviews here summarizes quite well what makes Miguel such a joy ti have as a DM - his world feels alive where the players' actions have consequences, good or bad. The NPCs are wonderfully presented and so effortlessly evoke a multitude of emotions that makes you invested. The storytelling keeps you on your toes and makes you want to come back every week for more. But I think that the one thing I especially want to commend Miguel for is the ability to have the important conversations, whether things in a group are working or not. I have played in a multitude of campaigns, paid and free, but being able to sit a group down and talking things through is something that is often lacking. Having a DM who is willing to create a space where it is okay to be vulnerable and honest without fear of judgement and be met with the same is such a rare quality. And that is a major reason why I find that Miguel is a wonderful DM. I've often seen DMs claiming to create a safe space, but never have I had someone committing to it the way Miguel does. So not only can you be sure to have an absolutely amazing experience in a game run by Miguel, but you can also be certain that any concerns you have are taken seriously. If there is one DM I will recommend to someone else, Miguel will be the first that comes to mind!

How will character creation work

Characters will start at level 1, and character creation will happen during Session 0 in one of two ways: - (Recommended if you have some experience) You bring a character idea already, and I'll help you create it using DnD Beyond; - (Recommended if you have no experience) You select from a list of characters I have already created before tackling character creation. Character Creation rules: - Classes and Subclasses from the Player's Handbook, Xanathar's Guide to Everything, Tasha's Cauldron of Everything, and Explorer's Guide to Wildemount; - Races from the Player's Handbook and Monsters of the Multiverse; - Ability scores are determined by rolling 4d6 and dropping the lowest or using a modified standard array (17 15 13 12 10 8). Characters need approval from the DM before getting into the game.
