About the adventure
(If your group Speaks French, let me know :D) Synopsis: Tonight, a ceremony of light is taking place on the surface. Meanwhile, a world away in the city of spiders, a drow matron solidifies a pact with soul-consuming entities who require great sacrifices in trade for unimaginable power. Drow eyes turn to the surface. If you like the Underworld, Monsters, Drows, Dwarves, Mushrooms & spiders this adventure is for you! for this part of the adventure (book 1) your characters will be able to progress from lvl 1 to level 5-6! Beginners are welcome! Myself being a rather "medium lvl gm" I'm not used to seeing a lot of special dilemmas that we may encounter during these sessions so let's learn together! GM open to customized traits/weapons if your character's lore calls for it (validation required) I aim to keep our sessions as a comfortable place where everybody feels welcome. I reward originality (actions/roleplay) with the "Inspiration" mechanic as well as some house rules/rewards for original actions

About me
Hello there! I've played in the past as a player in different little campaigns with my friends. But then, a Thirst for becoming a professional GM for my friends grew stronger and stronger. I bought a software, attended some classes, read lots of books, played through some oneshots and GM some as well which brings me here today. Keep in mind: English isn't my mother tongue (French is), however, I own a Cambridge C1 certificate in English

Creating your character
All the information will be detailed on my Guilded Server, which is filled with docs concerning additional Races & Classes/Archetypes available. The characters will start at lvl 1. If the player has experience with D&D5e and creates his own character I will set a one-on-one session to validate his character and import it to FGU, Otherwise, a one-on-one Session will take place directly on the FGU software to create the player's character together. (pre-gens are available)
What to expect
