About the adventure
Your character is a deadly dark elf. If you love the mechanics of this game, the story-telling, and the drow culture, and you've been searching for a space that celebrates your ideas for character customization, this is the campaign you've been waiting for. Play in what I like to call a web-box, where every action you take matters and affects other simultaneous groups. Survive the intrigues and bloodlust among the most powerful factions of Faerun: the houses of the Dark Elf Empire. You belong to House Mizzrym, masters of slaves, charisma, and betrayal—the most loved and hated house among all my players. You are joining a group that has achieved: - Breaking the siege of House Agrach Dyrr during the War of the Spider Queen - Expelling the invading House Jaelre from Menzoberranzan - Orchestrating a hunt where the other noble houses were forced to reveal their true colors Unleash your darkest potential!

About me
I was nine years old when I was introduced to the marvelous world of Dungeons and Dragons by my older brothers. It was amazing for me how I and my fellow players could have the experience of being the main characters of an exciting story. Soon I wanted to share this with everyone, so I became the forever Dungeon Master of all the school and job places throughout my career. This love for tales that TTRPG gave to me turned me into a scriptwriter in my adult life. All the joyful fun that happens around the table during a game session also had an impact on me towards comedy. I currently work at two tv shows (One comedy show and one D&D show) in Mexico. I also have been a professional GM for five years now. With these jobs, I happen to be a very happy man. I'm bilingual, so some of my games are in English, and then some others are played in Spanish. A lot has happened in the world over the past few years, things that have changed how we face our life and how we see ourselves. So mental health is also a big issue for me. My games are focused on creating a connection between the adults we are now and the inner child that fuels our day-to-day life with the energy of JOY.

Safety
How Omar, the Cartesian Roach creates a safe table
Your safety and comfort are always my top priority. At this table, respect and care come first, no matter how dark or intense the story becomes. We’ll use a combination of tools to make sure everyone feels supported and heard—before, during, and after each session. More details on these specific tools can be found below, but in short, you can expect clear communication, space for breaks, and time to check in with one another. My goal is simple: you should leave every session feeling safe, energized, and excited to return.
