About the adventure

In the world of Everden, nestled between the mighty Crest mountain range and the vast marshes of the Mokk Fields, lies a mystical forest known as Humblewood that hums with the Great Rhythm of nature, where the Birdfolk and Humblefolk have lived in peace for centuries. ...but now the fires have come, and the Woods have been thrown into chaos. You are one of the denizens of the wood, living life day by day making as much merriment as you can out of it. But when the flames come to your doorstep, when your home and all you hold dear is in danger, when there is no one else who will stand... Will you answer the call? Enter the wood as one of the birdfolk or humblefolk. Magical, anthropomorphic animal races emulating creatures such as the fox, the hedgehog, the raven, the owl, and many more. Experience a tale of heroism, adversity, mystery, magic, and cottage core vibes as you explore the wood, meet colorful characters, fight dangerous elementals, come face to face with the bandit coalition, and uncover the mystery of the fiery fate that has befallen the wood in this 1-5 level adventure, featuring an immersive and handpicked soundtrack for the journey to come.

Legendary. I have never had before, and will likely never have again a DM as good as Jam. His ability to create a world that the players feel a part of and deeply care about is unrivaled. Incorporating player backstories into the weave of the world, S+++ voice acting, and enhancing the module into something truly special. Jam's games are experiences you remember for the rest of your life.

Was my very first dnd campaign and by far exceeded my expectations. Jam the bard has the best voices and storytelling that make the whole experience surreal and immersive. The whole game was very beginner friendly and overall made my week everytime we played. A top tier experience, dm, and campaign.

My partner and I are beginners to D&D, and Jam has made the experience a lot of fun, and has been patient and understanding with our anxiety and lack of knowledge, always willing to answer our questions and help us understand. Just like the reviews before ours have said, the voice acting and character development is wonderful, and we’ve become attached to a lot of the NPCs because Jam gives them so much life. We very much look forward to each session and it always ends with laughter and feeling like we accomplished something, even if it was only learning the correct way to grow onions. We definitely would recommend trying the experience for yourself!

I was surprised when Jam said he wasn't a professional voice actor. Every NPC speaks with a different voice. Most distinct enough to recognize as a specific character. He added a voice modulator in our last session and made a prophecy frightening! His incredible voice work aside, Jam also happens to be a lovely man. He enjoys listening to his players roleplay in the world he curates. He fosters player creativity. Jam, above all, genuinely cares about the group dynamic and whether or not everyone is having fun.

Jam has an impressive talent for breathing life into NPCs and painting vivid pictures with his descriptions. He's a fan of the characters and gets excited by creative player ideas. He'll run with those ideas and, when the characters fail, can come up with satisfying consequences that push the story forward.

Jam's improvisational skills are extremely on point. He can twist any curveball his players throw at him into an engaging experience that is not only fun in the moment, but reinforces the narrative as a whole. Every single NPC encounter feels multi-dimensional, and interacting with even the most minor of background characters is so compelling and entertaining. Jam is not only fantastic at making sure his players are having fun, but it is also very clearly having a blast himself, the energy is infectious!

Additional details

How to prepare

A decent microphone is a must. After that, you'll need a Roll20 and a Discord account, both are free! Lastly, reading chapter 1 of the setting book will give you a better understanding of the setting and feel of the wood's denizens.

What I provide

- Voice acted NPCs. - A handpicked soundtrack. - Detailed maps and handouts. - An enthusiastic and fun loving DMing style. - A learned understanding of the rules. - Access to campaign character resources. - Custom Heroforge miniature and portrait. - One fantastic adventure!

Gameplay details

Roleplay and exploration are main stays of the campaign, with frequent bouts of combat and mystery throughout. And a little bit of puzzles mixed in, as a treat. This is a heroic fantasy of unlikely heroes coming together for the good of all. So a loner rogue with a penchant for murder might not be the best fit for this campaign. We'll be using a combination of the Roll20 VTT for gameplay and Discord for audio and communication. Whether beginner or veteran, the door is wide open.

How will character creation work

I will be hosting a session 0 to get to know everyone and build your characters. Characters will be starting at level 1. On request, pre-generated characters are available, but session 0 will still be a great help. The campaign will be set in in the Humblewood campaign setting, as such, only character races from the setting are allowed. I will provide a link to the setting book upon your entry. If you are to read the book, please refrain from reading anything beyond chapter 3 If there is a species of creature that is not featured in the book but you would like to play, I can work with you to either re-flavor an existing race or create a new one.
