About the adventure

The talk of the streets and taverns has all been about the so-called death curse: a wasting disease afflicting everyone who’s ever been raised from the dead. Victims grow thinner and weaker each day, slowly but steadily sliding toward the death they once denied. Come with us and embark on an extraordinary quest in Tomb of Annihilation, a gripping Dungeons & Dragons 5E adventure that will push your limits and test your courage. The world is plagued by a malevolent force known as the death curse, draining life from the living and preventing the resurrection of the dead. To unravel this dark mystery, you must venture into the treacherous jungles of Chult, a land teeming with peril and ancient secrets.

Gameplay details

Theme: Survival, Exploration, Tomb Raiding Starting Level: 1st Mechanically, this will be standard point-buy with 27 points. I strongly disfavor stat dumps, especially Charisma, without appropriate story justification. I also disfavor gimmicky characters. There are also house rules that are in effect for this campaign that change some of the 5e game mechanics. I expect players to engross themselves in the roleplaying element and contribute interestingly to the story.
