About the adventure
The Mad Mage Halaster is rumored to be immortal, and his dark dungeon complex spans for miles beneath Waterdeep. Since adventurers keep flinging themselves into his lair for riches and glory, he has decided to host a violent game show ...where he scries upon a team each season and broadcasts their deeds and misfortunes across the multiverse to a live audience! Inside his sinister game show, you must face horrifying monsters, traverse hazardous terrain, and overcome overwhelming hurdles that Halaster has hand selected over centuries unknown. Should you survive, you will be granted more gold than you can count, abundant magic items, and instant celebrity status across all of the known Material Planes. Maybe even a chance to stop the games altogether if you find and infiltrate the final level! Sit in for a few sessions or see if you can survive the entire game show gauntlet!

About me
Are you looking for a relaxed DM with Storytelling AND Customer Service skills to run your D&D campaign? Look no further! As a pro DM, my top priority is that everyone has a great time while also conjuring up compelling characters and challenging combat for all to enjoy. I really love nothing more than weaving a great story and I make sure that everyone has a chance to shine at the table so that each of you can bring YOUR stories to life. You are the heroes, not me. You can always expect a nice blend of combat, exploration, and RP at all of my tables! For safety protocols, I have a professional history as an in-game support lead for online MMO's... along with over a decade of bartending so I have no problem recognizing potential situations and addressing them in a timely, professional manner. My contributions to your table: -Epic Lore with 40 years of Dungeons and Dragons knowledge. I was beaten up in the 80's so you could play this game today! -Legendary DND Beyond Subscription. ALL the D&D books for you to browse for free at your leisure! -Foundry VTT. So many custom maps, sounds, effects and animated backgrounds for immersive storytelling! -Customer Care with a background in video games, television, storyboarding, theater, fine art, bartending, and customer support! **TL;DR: if you want a warm, funny table with a professional DM who has a deep well of stories to share... grab a seat!!**

Creating your character
Depending on your group, your starting level may vary. Please have a couple of character ideas ready to go in Session 0. If you want to make a character previous to Session 0, make one at your group's level and then please allow patience for those still building a character during the intro session. We will be using Point Buy (27), all character races and options, and using 2024 rules. Any character idea is fine as long as it makes sense with the group. Starting magic items will usually amount to 1 Rare or 2 Uncommon items. If you are joining after Session 0, we can discuss the current level of the party and adjust your character accordingly.
**STABLE GROUP LOOKING FOR 1 MORE!!** You are now a willing contestant in a wicked game show. Your team needs to do everything it can to survive the legendary Dungeon of the Mad Mage. Use your wits, your weapons, and a bit of luck to boost the ratings of Halaster's psychotic spectacle; and maybe you can get close enough to the elusive evil wizard and wrap the production once and for all... This campaign is absolutely gonzo, so expect lots of combat, puzzles, prizes... and plenty of laughs! Current Contestants [Level 13]: High Elf Bladesinger Satyr Bard Deep Gnome Ranger/Rogue Aarakocra Monk Dragonborn Champion

How streetshaman creates a safe table
Session 0 will allow for group composition, character discussion and creation, and the campaign overview. We will also discuss the safety tools during Session 0 as well as the table rules and Start Playing Games policies. Once the party is complete, and all questions are covered we will all join the tabletop for a brief Foundry VTT overview.
