About the adventure
📖Learn to Play DnD step by step and join an epic campaign! Now in the 2024 DnD ruleset,📖 "Tom is a great GM. I am returning to D&D after many years away, and he has been very helpful and patient as I learn the 5e system. He is always willing to explain anything you are confused by. I have never felt like I was being guided down a path, and while I am sure that my group has surprised him at times with our choices, he seems to always be able to adjust on the fly and go with us down some crazy paths." - Matthew 🗺️Exploration of the UnderWorld🗺️ 🕵️A Mystery Unfolds, an evil returns 🕵️ 💜Protect the World💚 About the Story An ancient enemy returns. Not just content with taking over the UnderWorld, they want to control the topside World too. What drove the Drow to this? Why do their ambitions drive them to the surface world, far from their dark god? Is the recent upheaval in Exandria responsible for their new found plans? Or have these plans been festering for a long time? When the Drow attack the village of Rybalka where you're staying in, you will be asked the question: Will you stand against them or flee before their might? In this epic adventure set in Exandra you'll have to twart the evil plans of the Drow and their allies or let them conquer the surface world. This tale will take you from lv 1 to lv 15 (If you complete all the side quests to Lv 20) so strap yourself in for a longterm memorable campaign from 3rd party publisher AAW adapted to the world of Critical Role. Wheter you are beginner to D&D or a veteran, I'll happily help you along with character creation, learning the rules, learning Foundry and any other aspect of the game

About me
⏰My Timezone is CET/CEST (Brussel-Europe)⏰. And yes I do sleep at night.😂 If you want to know who Tom is and what he brings to the table in regards to his Storytelling style, have look below or send a personal message via Startplaying Games or visit The Gaming Peeples Discord channel via this link: https://discord.gg/nEGMMRmtNz ☀️ ABOUT STORYTELLER TOM ☀️ 42y-He/Him🍟 Greetings and Salutations, I'm Tom from the sunny country of Belgium (Antwerp) where I live with my girlfriend and our 2 cats Louis & Minnie. Besides living a 'normal life', I'm a Storyteller with a passion for over 27 years of non stop telling tales. I love playing in roleplay Heavy, sandbox orientated campaigns, with focus on player character development, who make the world their own. While interacting with interesting and engaging NPC's with their own unique stories and silly voices. Plus I love adding lot's of improv and unexpected solutions to many obstacles our players face during our stories. In 2021 during the Pandemic, I landed in a burnout, due to my work taking over my life. Running over 60 to 70 hours per week for a job with no benefits nor any thanks given. So I decided that in May 2022, that all would change and I would build upon my passion for storytelling. This with my own brand The Gaming Peeples.

Creating your character
🛡️Characters will begin at Level 1. 🛡️🛡️We'll use the point buy system or the roll system, this is up to the players. We decide this as a group on Session 0. 🛡️🛡️🛡️If this is your first campaign, I would recommend keeping your race, class, subclass & background choices to the playersguide manual. But should you want to play something from another official WoTc source, reach out to me and I'm sure I can accommodate. In addition, the Tome of Heroes book from Kobold press can be used. As will Kibbles Crafting Guide to replace the 'normal' crafting rules. Both books will be made available during game play sessions. 🛡️🛡️🛡️🛡️Homebrew idea's will have be submitted prior to game start or prior to session 0 and will be approved on case by case basis. No Legend and UA content is allowed. 🛡️🛡️🛡️🛡️🛡️Any additional concerns or questions, send me a private message.
