Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Journey in the Jungle: The Tomb of Annihilation

About the adventure

Death is broken. That which was once dead walks again, and those who have escaped death's clutches are rotting from within as a mysterious ailment drags them back to the grave. The magic of resurrection fails to return any from beyond, even their spirit cannot be contacted. All signs point to the Jungles of Chult, a recently re-discovered land teeming with strange plants, creatures, and customs. Many treasure hunters and adventures flock to Port Nyanzaru to explore the new land will you be among them and search for what has broken the cycle of death? Tomb of Annihilation is a 5th Edition Dungeon's and Dragons hardcover, while the main focus is combat and exploration, role play and diplomacy can get you far. I will also be using some custom items for convince encounters and traverse encounters from Wyvern Game's Stargate SG-1 RPG to add flavor and depth. This is not an Adventurer's League legal game, but may feature content from the League modules in addition to the hardcover.

How will character creation work

Characters may be created by requesting a time for the Fantasy Grounds server to be opened for character creation. Characters should follow the standard Point Buy or Standard Array rules. Unearthed Arcana and Homebrew races or classes require prior approval, please see below for the list of books I own, if you want to create something from a different book please let me know and I can add it to my FGU resources. Additionally characters will pick one magic item from the DMG or Griffon's Saddlebag of Very Rare or Legendary quality for an item that will level with you.
