Rise of the Drow (Tuesday)
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
On the longest night of the year, when darkness gives way once more to the growing light, a ceremony takes place. A greater darkness is coming, unlike anything before. Do you have what it takes to survive, and bring light into the cold dark? The dark elves of Toril have a long and fraught history. Often forgotten, frequently feared, they exist and even thrive deep beneath the surface of the earth, in the mysterious and forbidding caverns and passages of the dreaded Underdark. The bitter and dark deity known as Lloth, Mother of Spiders, has always resented the relegation of her children to the cold, unforgiving environs beneath the upper lands of light and plenty. Those that follow her twisted teachings become as twisted and bitter as she, and delight in chaos and destruction. A Drow matron, beholden to Lloth and consumed with a lust for power has made a pact with soul consuming entities that require great sacrifices in return for unimaginable power. Who will stop the mad spider cult from seeing the culmination of their plans to plunge the world into darkness. Is it you, adventurer? Experience this incredible mega-adventure spanning levels 1-20 and taking you across the surface and into the depths of the world. Adventurers will meet unique denizens, battle horrors of the Underdark, explore epic locations, and fight to stop the rise of the Drow corrupted by the dark and twisted influences of the evil spider goddess, Lolth.

I do have other time slots potentially available, just ask! The game is capped at 6 players, so everyone has a chance to have all the time they want in the spotlight.

Additional details
How to prepare
Each player will need to have Discord with working audio input and output. A webcam is nice too, but not required. DroidCam is a great app that turns your phone into a webcam. Each player will also need to download and install Fantasy Grounds Unity, which you can obtain at www.fantasygrounds.com. The Demo (free) version is fine, as I have an Ultimate license.
What I provide
All of the core rulebooks and many optional ones will be available through D&D Beyond and Fantasy Grounds. I will provide an immersive experience utilizing everything a powerful VTT has to offer.
Gameplay details
Exciting and dramatic homebrew rules to give you more roleplay ideas and structure, and make combat gritty and brutal. Lots of role-playing and social interaction. Learn how to use Fantasy Grounds, play D&D, and pick up techniques to fully immerse yourself in an amazing story. Combat is tactical and fast paced. The heroes are heroes!

How will character creation work
Characters are first level, and stats use the Standard Array +4. Pre-generated characters are also available. We will be using a mix of methods to flesh out your character, including the Sword Coast Heroic Chronicle as well as techniques learned and adapted from my years of performing at Renaissance festivals. There are a lot of house rules that will be provided to you. Character concepts will be discussed, primarily via Discord, both before, during, and after Session 0, with all character generation finalized prior to the first game session.
