About the adventure

Dive deep into the shadowy abyss with "Out of the Abyss," a thrilling campaign that tests your mettle. Trapped and bound in the treacherous Underdark, you'll find yourself ensnared in a maze of politics and survival, battling against malevolent demons and unraveling the mysteries of this dangerous domain. Stripped of tools, your primary goal is to evade the grip of the drow. Forge alliances with your fellow prisoners, but with your captors right on your heels, who can you really trust? Embark on a perilous odyssey through the winding catacombs of the Underdark, grappling with insanity, unexpected encounters, and devious factions. Delve into distinct locales, every one a standalone adventure, and carve your way through a land teeming with risks and turmoil. As you ascend from the abyss, a grander scheme unravels, pulling you once again into the Underdark where the world's destiny hangs in the balance. Will you be consumed by the enveloping shadows, or rise valiantly against the malevolent lords hidden beneath? Challenge the abyss, and strive to dominate its vast expanse. ⏱ Pacing: 1 long DM post each day in the evenings (UK time), and a shorter message in the morning to reply to any @ pings. Additional replies/posts are subject to my availability throughout the day. 🎲 Virtual Table Top: I am flexible and willing to work in your preferred VTT, I have years of experience in both Foundry and Roll20 and have more recently learned how to run games in Discord via Avrae with DnD beyond.

About me

Hi there, my name is David, and I wear many hats: nerd, nurse, father and more, but on this website the crown I wear is that of a Dungeon Master! I specialize in running 1:1 duets play-by-post games, as well as high level tier 3-4+ play. I’m based in the UK and am broadly available to talk 8 pm- 12 pm UK time, which is 3 pm - 7pm EST. This is the time window that I write most my daily posts. My pricing varies by the amount of skill and time that go into a game, where simpler games such as starter adventures cost $40 a week, and more complex games like my level 20+ games cost $60 a week.
