The Lost City of Pyre: An Intro Campaign

Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign

About the adventure

New Adventurers Wanted! New to Dungeons and Dragons? Don't know where to begin? Fear not! As your Dungeon Master, I will be your guide into incredible worlds and stories. We'll work together to create a unique adventure that's impacted by the choices you make as players. I will help you create your characters and build an exciting world for you to explore, but as you go on adventurers, make alliances, fight enemies, and search for the Lost City of Pyre your decisions will directly change the game. As for our story, it begins by following the footsteps of adventurers who set out 10 years earlier, including someone close to the party. This expedition never returned, so now we embark seeking to find not only the Lost City of Pyre but to find out what happened to our ill-fated forerunners. The journey will be difficult. We will travel through swamps and frozen mountaintops in our quest, but in the end who knows what secrets we'll uncover...

He is such a creative story-teller and works really hard to take his player's thoughts, opinions, and ideas into account! Really good at adapting his GM style based on the players' wishes and experience with the game, and his world-building is brilliant!!

Caleb will work to understand your wants in any campaign, and encourages everyone to work on their characters and come up with creative solutions to problems. He's good at getting players to engage with each other and to stay engaged with encounters, which is a big plus if you have a new group or novice players. Extensive and expansive world building are always included, and he has experience with numerous RPG settings and is an avid consumer of fantasy literature; he's well-equipped to DM for D&D if that's what you're looking for, but other role-playing games are right up his alley, and he may well have played them before.

He's a great dm that ran a really tight nit campaign. I really enjoyed the entire experience.

I've been playing with Caleb for years now, and he's always is looking for new ways to change up gameplay and really customize it to whatever experience his players are looking for. He builds excellent lore and it's always a blast!

Caleb creates an immersive experience with fleshed-out worlds and characters, exciting and perfectly-paced storylines and twists, and mystery and intrigue that draw players in during every single session. I’ve played in several of his campaigns and have loved every one of them. He’s also a very patient and skilled teacher so if you’re a beginner, he’s the GM for you!

Additional details

How to prepare

You will need a webcam and mic. Webcam is welcome but not required; I find they help engagement. Discord account needed for video chat. D&D Beyond account highly suggested, but a physical character sheet is acceptable. No rules to read beforehand. I will help explain anything as we go!

What I provide

D&D Beyond Content: Basic Rules Player's Handbook Dungeon Master's Guide Xanathar's Guide to Everything Tasha's Cauldron of Everything Volo's Guide to Monsters Others, feel free to message. Rule guidance: I try to play Rules as Written, but can often be persuaded to play Rules as Intended. The rule of cool is great! Just don't rely on it completely. If there is an action that shows creativity that will be rewarded! Just don't expect to break rules all the time to do so.

Gameplay details

I care deeply for the health and safety of my players. During our session zero we will discuss any hard and soft boundaries you will need to have an enjoyable time. I will send a document over that will allow you to rank your priorities in the game and to mark down any possible triggers we should avoid.

How will character creation work

Characters will be made during the first session, stats will be rolled 4d6 drop the lowest with the opportunity to instead use the Standard Array. Characters will preferably be generated on D&D Beyond to allow for easy management, but I will allow pen and paper as well. Anything published by Wizards or the coast is fair game except the Hadozee race as I find them problematic. Starting at level one!
