Escurian Explorers
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
Deep below the surface world is a heavily guarded secret - the great cavern of Escuria, the Escurian sea and the denizens that call it home. Once the seat of a great Drow empire, it now lies fractured with factions both old and new vying for power, but where there is struggle there is also opportunity. That is where your characters come in - whether you want to be scrappy mercenaries looking to make your fortune, haughty nobles playing the great game of politics, bold heroes seeking to save the world, or nefarious villains seeking to twist it to your will, Escuria is ripe for the taking. This is my homebrew setting full of rich characters and varied locations that I have been developing in ongoing games for over three years, and I have built it to be as versatile as possible to allow for a variety of genres of campaign, from standard high fantasy, to horror, to grimdark, to swashbuckling adventure. We will tailor the adventure to what your party wants to play, and we can switch between the various genres too.
Game style
Roleplay Heavy
“Roleplay Heavy” games place the focus on the story, the characters, and the world they live within, and tend to lean hard into the various roleplaying elements of the game. These games will frequently find the party talking with NPCs, exploring the personal elements of their backstories, or even having emotional moments around the camp fire.
Fortnightly sessions (every two weeks) Party is level 7: * Warforged Echo Knight Fighter/Storm Sorcerer * Longtooth Shifter Fighter/Path of the Beast Barbarian * Human Rogue/ Hexblade Warlock * Changeling Eloquence Bard * Reborn Death Cleric

Additional details
How to prepare
Ahead of the session you will need to have a working webcam or microphone and a pair of headphones, a Discord account, a roll20 account, and a computer capable of running both Discord and roll20 at the same time. Because we are using roll20 you will not need physical dice or character sheets, though you are welcome to roll physical dice if you so wish.
What I provide
You will have use of my roll20 compendium, including all the major 5E sourcebooks. You will have custom tokens made of your characters, as well as custom made overworld maps and battlemaps to help bring the world of Escuria to life. I have a professional audio setup and a HD webcam so you will be able to hear and see me clearly during the sessions.
Gameplay details
This game will be tailored to the specific wants and needs of the group, and as such we will have a full session zero before the campaign to discuss Lines and Veils, a PVP Flag system and use of the X-Card, as well as what specific vibe we want for the campaign. I send out a spreadsheet to all of my players ahead of this explaining all of these safety tools and am always happy to discuss any queries or additonal safety tools we want to put in place via discord ahead of the session zero.

How will character creation work
I start the players at level 6 to ensure that you have a few abilities at your disposal without it being too overwhelming for newer players. If experienced players want to make their characters ahead of time I am open to them doing so, as long as they message me to discuss it first. If players either need help making characters or simply want to wait until the session zero I am also happy to do character creation as part of the session zero.
