About the adventure
In the foothills of the great Dragonspire Mountains, remote towns are being raided by a normally peaceable group of orcs. The attacks have been brutal, but rumor has it that those who were taken captive are in for a worse fate. The local authorities are overwhelmed and have put out a call for brave adventurers to put an end to the Orcs' reign of terror. Will the party answer the call and save the towns from destruction, or will they fall to the orcs' brutal tactics? Explore the rugged and mysterious land of Ebrule, find out what got the Orcs so riled up, and put a stop to it before more innocent people are harmed.

About me
Life is short. Let's play Dungeons & Dragons! Hail adventurers! My name is Reese Millican and I have been playing D&D for over twenty years. I love it so much that I figured why not make a few coins while I'm at it 😁? If you would like join me in this epic journey, then read on. I love many aspects of role playing games, but my favorite by far is character development. Bring me a character with a lovingly crafted backstory, and I'll give you a world where they can overcome the odds, laugh in death's face and learn who they really are along the way. I believe that every one of us has an inner child which we suppress due to the responsibilities of adulthood. D&D and other roleplaying games allow that inner child to come out and play. It's good for the mind and the soul. I would love to have you at my table, virtual or otherwise. I'll see you in the game!

Creating your character
We still start at level three. Please use the point buy system. You can come with a progenerated character or use session zero to talk with the other players and determine what you want to play from there. Once you generate a character please send it to me via Discord. If you need help creating a character please DM me. I recommend you have it saved as a pdf or some other format in case DnD Beyond crashes.
Please message me for the discord link. This adventure is for EVERY OTHER THURSDAY, not every Thursday as it says in the link.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
All you will need is a mic, the ability to view your character sheet, access to discord, and your own dice. I will be posting pictures of a physical battle map on the discord chat. Be prepared to commit to a regular, weekly Tuesday night session. This campaign is fine for beginners to experienced players, but probably not ideal for someone who has never played before. It is expected that you know how to play a level three character with some degree of confidence. If you have never played before and would like to join, please reach out to me!
What Reese Millican brings to the table
I bring a discord server, battle maps and cutout minis, as well as 20+ years of DnD experience.

How Reese Millican creates a safe table
In the young kingdom of Caspia, the distant Dragonspine Mountains remaining foreboding and unknown. To "go over the mountains" means to do what someone has never done before. It also means to go a little crazy. In this campaign players can expect to do a bit of both! In the world of Ebrule Orcs are no more violent than any other race and have existed in relative peace with the Dwarven and Human kingdoms for decades. However, something has gotten them riled up and they are starting to attack the remote towns of the Dragonspine foothills. Your job is to find out why and put a stop to it. Expect a fair amount of tactical combat, exploration, mountainous terrain, isolation, wilderness travel and survival, and unraveling an ancient mystery. In our session zero (which will be free, every subsequent session will be $15.00) we will discuss our expectations for the campaign and the characters together, and what our lines and veils are. I anticipate EVERY OTHER Tuesday Night from 6:30 to 9:30 PM Eastern time, although going a little over is fine. DM me with any questions, and I hope to see you in the game!
