About the adventure
Come sail the Sword Coast, from the grimey ports of Luskan, to the growing power of Baldur's Gate! Sail to the Moonshaes and beyond, perhaps finding Evermeet! Salty Dogs, Sea Elves, Kuo Toa and Krakens all await in the Sea of Swords! Seek your fortune, become part of a crew and eventually own a ship, or a fleet of your own! This is an episodic, character driven adventure where your goals will dictate the plot and light hearted ocean themed campaign! This game is welcome to people of all backgrounds, genders and orientations. If you have any issues with inclusivity, this may not be the game for you! Characters must be built in D&D Beyond (I'll send you the campaign link) and linked with Beyond20. You will have access to the full library of WoTC published materials. with classes, races and subclasses appropriate to the setting available. About Me I'm a DM with over 20 years of experience who's been playing since 2nd Edition and I strongly believe that the player's write the story with their choices and decisions, I'm just the editor that makes sure every player is getting the role they want in the story. While I sometimes may be using published materials, I'll often tailor the module to the players. This means that your choices in character creation will help shape the story, and veterans who may have played the adventure before might get a surprise or two! I believe in RAW and RAI, meaning your spells and abilities will do what they say they do, but I also support and encourage creative applications as well. I won't punish you for your build or your creativity, instead I'll find ways to make you feel challenged and awesome! I'm a fan of rich, fulfilling narratives, memorable characters with unique personalities and stories that will change based on your decisions, but I'm also a seasoned vet who's fought a battle or two and loves dynamic tactical combat. Depending on who is in the group and what your preference is, we can focus on either (or both!). We can play a session without a single roll of a die, or we can wage glorious battle through a gauntlet of cunning foes. The game you want is the game I'll bring to you!

Creating your character
Rolled Array. Level 5 Characters. 2024 Classes/ Origin Feat if your background doesn't provide one. All WOTC and D&D Beyond Partnered Content. Homebrew, Unearthed Arcana, D&DOne and 3rd Party Content is subject to approval.
We are using the D&D Beyond Materials, including Partnered Content, running mostly 2024 rules, but Homebrew may be approved upon review. One character is playing a Dragon Class they have homebrewed themselves and I have reviewed. The campaign is fairly epic and spanning longer time frames, but with some heated and intense combat. It utilizes the Franchise Rules from Acquisitions Incorporated, Downtime rules from Xanathar's Guide to Everything and an array of rules from various published sources, with a splash of homebrew from myself.
