About the adventure
The Horror Beneath Mistledale... ------------------------------------------------------------------- The party is currently levels 8 to 9 and are at roughly the mid-point of the campaign. Still plenty to go! If you want some higher level play - this is it! ------------------------------------------------------------------- Something strange is afoot in the Dalelands. Spellcasters have vanished, throwing the land into chaos, and heroes are needed to uncover the truth. Navigate from serene countryside to the treacherous Underdark, meeting enigmatic characters and battling formidable foes along the way. In this world of ancient secrets and power struggles, teamwork and wit are your greatest allies. Are you ready to uncover the hidden depths of "Night Below"? Join me for an unforgettable adventure! Night Below (1995) is, perhaps, the first lengthy story based campaign; a format that modern players of 5e are now very familiar. I will be taking this classic campaign, updating it for 5e, and moving it to the more familiar setting of the Forgotten Realms. This will be a challenging game! It will be lightly house-ruled to make it more challenging, and keep the tone that was present in the earlier edition when it was published.

About me
Greetings Travelers, I have been playing and running games since near the beginning of the hobby in the late 70's when I was a wee lad in middle school. Not mired in the past; I appreciate what the modern games have with regard to mechanics, but bring to the table some of the difficulty and grittiness in the earlier styles of play. If you thought WoW Classic was a great idea, I'm your guy. I have a degree in Medieval Studies and continue to do festivals and reenactment work; where I joyfully work as an entertainer playing the captain of a company of mercenaries. While I don't intend games to be a simulation, I do like them to feel a bit grounded. Even a published adventure will have my own spin to it. I would run 5e D&D, with some light house rules to give it a slightly earlier edition feel - nothing that would make the game seem unfamiliar, and also enjoy running Call of Cthulhu, or its more government conspiracy variant, Delta Green. I am working on a possible homebrew campaign, and the published adventures I will run will likely be less known third party titles. I look forward to playing with you!

Creating your character
Character sheets will be assigned on Roll20 and they will be rolled up on my Discord server using the native dice roller prior to play beginning. I'll be available to chat there, either voice or messaging, about character concepts and answer any questions.
We'll be playing every Tuesday starting around 7pm U.S. Eastern Time. I wouldn't mind streaming this game. I will only do this if every player agrees and everyone has cameras and is not afraid to appear on camera. (I've come to learn that seeing everyone makes the experience better for the players and the viewer if it is viewable by the public.)
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You'll need a microphone and some sort or speakers. I prefer that players have a headset with a microphone since that reduces background noise and echoes. If players are interested in doing this as a stream for Twitch and YouTube we will all need webcams.
What GM_Devon brings to the table
I am reworking the original campaign top to bottom with new maps and updated monsters and encounters.

How GM_Devon creates a safe table
Rather than a Session 0 with all players present I will be covering most of these details, as well as character creation on my Discord Server. I like the game to be fun and accessible for everyone, and prefer games with minimal to no sexual content. I just think that makes it comfortable for everyone of every orientation.
