About the adventure
We’re halfway through one of the most immersive and compelling pre-written adventure modules ever created, crafted by Critical Role’s own Matt Mercer. This is a story of epic proportions, and though we’ve lost a few players due to life’s twists and turns, the adventure must go on. If you’re ready to step into the spotlight, join us and help bring this incredible tale to its climactic conclusion. Centuries ago, a mythic hero from Exandria’s past became ensnared in a prison of his own making, a labyrinth of psychological torment and despair. Now, you are called to embark on a journey to rescue him from the shadows of his mind, rekindling his hope and unlocking the secrets he holds. What makes this campaign special? It’s more than a game. It’s a collaborative story where every decision shapes the narrative. You'll step into a world rich with lore, face unforgettable challenges, and leave your mark on Exandria’s history. Whether you're drawn to complex character arcs, gripping moral dilemmas, or the thrill of epic battles, this is your chance to shine. The ending is in sight, but it won’t happen without you. SPOILERS: We are currently in the actual Netherdeep as a party right now, facing the deepest recesses of the past!

About me
Hello! Pull up a chair, friend. This world is sorely in need of stories worth telling. A bit of lightness, a bit of courage, a bit of clever wordplay. There's nothing like a roleplaying game to draw out the best in us, and also to let us explore parts of ourselves that rarely see the light. That's why I play. I hope you'll join me! I’m always learning and growing, and I try to read as much as I can about D&D, game design, history, politics, and storytelling. I am a big fan of Dimension20, especially seasons where Aabria Iyengar or Brennan Lee Mulligan are the Dungeon Master.

Creating your character
We are currently at Level 10! Please create a character on D&D Beyond before the session. You can roll for your ability scores! My preferred stat method is: You can roll on D&D Beyond, and if you get lower than 72 total in the dice group, you can reroll once. If you still don't like your results, you can use Standard Array or Point Buy. Standard Array is the safety net if the dice fail you. Please do not roll more than 2 dice groups.
Every Thursday night! We're currently at Level 10 out of 13, exploring a sunken ruin! It's a great time to join the campaign.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Required: ✅ Microphone ✅ D&D Beyond account ✅ Discord account ✅ Roll20 account ✅ Beyond 20 extension (available on Google Chrome or Firefox) Suggested: 🙏 Webcam // I don't require anyone to use a webcam if they don't want to, but it will absolutely enhance the experience of the game if we are all visible to each other. Faces are great for improv! Please familiarize yourself with the rules and with your character abilities before the game. I'm available to talk about the safety tools, the fantasy world we'll be playing in, and about our characters' relationships to each other before we play!
What Isaac brings to the table
I have a Master Tier D&D Beyond account and a Plus Monthly Roll20 account, so all your digital needs will be taken care of. No matter your experience level, I set a welcoming, inviting tone at my games. Your questions are good, your baggage from your last game is not too much, your experience matters to me! Pull up a chair, friend. I’m a musician and an artist at heart, so I love incorporating graphic design elements, musical soundtracks and ambient noise, beautiful maps, and character art to enhance the experience of the game. I think the biggest thing I bring to the table is a flair for the dramatic. I was a musical theater kid in high school. Character voices. Storytelling. High drama. Heartrending conflict. This is the stuff I like. Very much. I try to keep a good balance of combat and roleplaying (40-50% of game time) with some exploration and puzzles thrown in for flavor (5-10%). Sometimes one session ends up with more of one than the others, and I’m happy to adjust based on feedback.

How Isaac creates a safe table
I have a digital RPG consent form I will distribute before the game so you can anonymously let me know what lines and veils you have before we begin. I also use X cards. If there's ever any part of the game that makes you uncomfortable or crosses a line (whether you put it on your lines and veils document or not), you can use an X card to pause the game, and we'll talk through how to move the game forward from there!
