About the adventure
The Age of Worms looms over the Free City of Greyhawk, and the shadows are growing longer. You have already survived the horrors of Diamond Lake, shattered the Ebon Triad’s schemes in the Free City, thwarted a black dragon’s ambush at Blackwall Keep, slain the cunning mind flayer Zyrxog in the depths of the Sodden Hold, and triumphed in the brutal Champion’s Games — stopping a monstrous ritual beneath the arena that would have unleashed an ulgurstasta upon the city. But the prophecy is far from over. Now, deep in A Gathering of Winds, the party has returned to the Whispering Cairn and the ancient tomb of the Wind Duke Icosiol. Allustan has vanished inside, strange winds howl through forgotten halls, and fragments of the legendary Rod of Law stir once more. Ancient forces of Law and Chaos are awakening, and every step deeper into the tomb brings the Age of Worms closer to reality. Can you join our party and help stop it? As the sixth member, you’ll step directly into the ongoing adventure inside Icosiol’s Tomb — solving ancient Wind Duke puzzles, battling guardians of living air, and racing against the rising tide of the worm-god’s return. From the dusty halls of the Cairn Hills to the looming threat of the Spire of Long Shadows, your choices will shape the rest of this epic campaign. In the end, you’ll help avert (or perhaps hasten) a cataclysm — and forge unforgettable memories along the way. This is your story… Join our group of battle-hardened adventurers for the continuing Age of Worms campaign! We play every other Saturday using Fantasy Grounds VTT and Discord voice. We’re looking for one committed player to round out our six-person party and face the gathering storm. Will you answer the call?

Homebrew rules
Initiative: We reroll imitative every round of combat, this is handled directly by Fantasy Grounds. Morale: Creatures make morale checks when faced with overwhelming odds and might flee the battle. Delay Turn: When it is your turn in a round you can opt to act later in the round by declaring a lower initiative. Emanation Effects: Once per round damage is the maximum. Skill/Knowledge Checks: You must be proficient in a knowledge or tool to use it. Potions of Healing: Using an action to consume a Potion of Healing grants its user the maximum number of recovered hit points. If using a bonus action to consume the healing potion, roll for results. It is a bonus action to drink a potion but still requires a regular action to administer one to someone else. Flanking: When a creature and at least one of its allies are adjacent to an enemy and positioned on opposite sides or corners of the enemy's space, they flank that enemy. Attack rolls made by flankers against a flanked enemy have a +2 bonus. A creature does not grant flanking bonus if it is incapacitated, frightened, restrained, or grappled.

Safety
How BWatford creates a safe table
Respectful Environment: I enforce a zero-tolerance policy for harassment, discrimination, or disruptive behavior. All players must respect each other’s pronouns, playstyles, and contributions, creating a collaborative vibe. Inclusivity: I welcome players of all experience levels, ensuring newbies feel supported with D&D 5E mechanics and veterans can shine tactically. I’ll provide pre-generated characters if desired or guide character creation to help new players.
