Step into the world of Exandria and discover the secrets of Candlekeep, a legendary repository of knowledge that was once part of the Age of Arcanum's great floating cities.

Now, the Dwendalian Empire has discovered this ancient stronghold and seeks to unlock the powerful arcane secrets it holds. But the guardians of Candlekeep are not to be trifled with, and dangers lurk around every corner. Will you join the intrepid adventurers in their quest to uncover the mysteries of this ancient keep, or will you succumb to the perils that lie ahead? The choice is yours in this thrilling new Dungeons and Dragons module set in the world of Exandria. 📯You can expect: - Weekly sessions spanning lvl's 1-20 - Custom content, side quests, expanded missions, merchants and more! - Extensive roleplaying and top tier voice acting from NPC's with sincere depth. - Challenging battles and unique monsters - Matt Mercers style of character driven immersion and story telling - If you are looking for a Critical Role like experience this is it!

About me

It all started a long long time ago in the darkest of dungeons. A Teenagers basement! As a kid of about 13 I was first introduced to D&D by my cousin. We spent countless hours in his basement rolling dice, making up grand adventures and escaping the dregs of the world outside. Since those glory days of AD&D- 3.5e life inevitably pulled us in separate directions away from that nerdy haven on our own adventures in reality. I always missed it, and I had the same problem that most likely brought you to this site. Where can I find people to play with and even more importantly who will DM? Finally with the release of 5e I decided I had waited long enough! I would take up the mantle and bear the burden of the crown so that others would have to wait no longer! I began to consume every piece of content I could find! I binged on critical role, practiced goblin voices in the shower, listened to podcasts and youtube tutorials, read every source book I could find, scoured reddit and the dms guild, and performed villainous monologues to my dog. All of it to slowly hone my skills as a storyteller, nay a story-crafter! As a musician, twitch content creator, aspiring voice actor and teacher I strive to utilize all my skillsets in my games. I have been playing TTRPG's for about 20 years and GM/DM'ing for about 10. I wont lie when I say it’s a labor of love, but I guide others to a treasure I rarely get to possess and that is its own reward! My hesitant step into the seat of Dungeon Master has become my obsession I have collected miniatures, terrain, books, lore, pages and pages of homebrew content, and a roll 20 account brimming with battle maps and adventures! I have DM'd for both veterans and 1st time players and look forward to crafting stories with you too!

Character creation

Creating your character

Characters will go from levels 1-20 in this adventure. A session 0 will provide time for choosing classes, races etc. Choices are only restricted to my shared compendium on roll 20 (I have quite a few options and most of the books). Pre made characters brought to the game after session 0 may use standard array, point buy, or roll for stats in the VTT chat all published WoTC content is acceptable. Please feel free to reach out for more details on my Discord.

The current party

Every Saturday a mixture of Candlekeep, Keys from the golden vault and a heavy dose of homebrew crafted to individual backstory in the world of Exandria! This is a long form campaign that runs every Saturday spanning from lvl 1-20! You can expect a sandbox style open world game play with robust NPC's, side quests, back story integration, heists, mysteries and more! Party composition currently lvl 9: Divination Wizard, Buccaneer Fighter, War Cleric, Paladin Oath of Ancients, Swashbuckler Rogue. The party is currently sailing the high seas off the Managerie Coast unraveling the mysterious rise of a new Pirate King, a Kraken and Otherworldly Outsiders!

What to expect

Preparing for the session

- Make a free roll20 account (link for game will be sent prior to session) - Make a free Discord account ( link for server will be sent prior to session, game info will be posted there) - Microphone required (always a good idea to test the connection through the settings in discord prior to the game, we will use push to talk to avoid talking over one another in game and eliminate possible background noise) -A solid internet connection (will make your gaming experience more enjoyable) - A webcam is a bonus but not a requirement. ( sometimes its hard to read the room as a GM if we cant see facial expression cues, but some people don't like to be on camera and that's totally fine.)

What NothingsImPaulssible brings to the table

I own the module on my Pro Roll20 account, it comes with beautifully illustrated color maps, tokens, dynamic lighting, handouts and more! (We will use in game assets for rolling dice using the 5e charactermancer) Supplemental content I also provide through Roll 20 compendium sharing: - Players handbook - Monster Manual - Mordekainen's Tome of Foes - Tome of Beasts (kobold press) - Volo's Guide to Monsters - Xanathars Guide to Everything - Tasha's Cauldron of Everything - Eberron- Rising From The Last War - Explorers Guide To Wildemount - Lost Mine of Phandelver - Tomb of Annihilation - Call of The Netherdeep - Candlekeep - Keys From The Golden Vault - Fizbans - ToB 1-3 - Journeys Through The Radiant Citadel - Curse of Strahd - Van Richtens Guide to Ravenloft - Dungeon tiles, tactical maps (Reincarnated) as well as many Gabriel Pickard quick encounter and town/city/hamlet maps, interactive maps - Spell templates, animated spell templates, animated weather effects, Asset packs for dungeon dressings. - Tokens galore for varied character and monster art. - Cze and Peku map collection (Used mostly in my home brew campaign, they are truly stunning maps) - Tom Cartos map collection ( varied and endlessly useful maps, also mostly used in homebrew)

Safety

How NothingsImPaulssible creates a safe table

TLDR- (Some content in this campaign may be uncomfortable for some players, but are highly negotiable. The most important thing for me at my table is that the players have fun and get to cooperatively build a story together that they will remember fondly. Still I feel its good to list some content aspects upfront so a session 0 will when we discuss lines and veils etc.) -Detailed content etc. I typically voice NPC's and love to roleplay, no matter what I will be doing my best at that because its what I enjoy. I prefer if you do too, but if you just want to smash monsters with a sword, grab loot and take a narrator stance when talking about your character I'm cool with that too. My expectations for players is to treat everyone including myself with the same respect they are given and to maintain general decorum and immersion at the virtual "table". Some Content may be inherent in the system, but most can veiled or not included as necessary to the well being of the players in the session - Prejudice (I avoid racial prejudice in my games because there is far too much of it in real life for my liking, but some things are inherent in the lore and system itself. ex. "you smell like and ogre" and so forth) - Slavery ( slavery and servitude or even the brutal hierarchy of only the strongest survive etc. are not central to the plot but do exist ) -Brutality ( Medieval style gameplay can be brutal and gory, it can be harsh, nature itself is vast and untamed, death and murder are very prevalent, yet they can all be easily veiled if needed. I can dial back on descriptive battle scenes, horror and the like by request) - mental assault ( many spells in D&D take autonomy away from the target of the "charm" I find that the least fun thing to have happen to a player is mind control etc. but it can be done well if handled carefully. If not it can be easily modified or omitted) There may be more and probably are. Communication is the key to success, but it is also a necessity it group play to make sure that everyone has fun. I ask for full transparency in session zero of any lines or veils, possible triggers etc. At the end of the day I care more about you having fun than about me trying to make my homebrew setting gritty/ realistic/ dark etc.
