Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign

About the adventure

The library fortress known as Candlekeep calls to scholars, historians, sages, and adventurers who crave knowledge. Perusing its vast collection of books, scribbled into which are the answers to the mysteries of the ages. Many of these books contain their own mysteries—each one a doorway to adventure. Dare you cross that threshold? This campaign will run the entirety of the Candlekeep Mysteries game book, as you explore 17 adventures found within books on the shelves of Candlekeep which run from level 1-16.

This campaign is a weekly adventure that runs from levels 1 to 16 as you delve into the worlds within the books found at the Candlekeep library fortress. All levels of experience are welcome, and feel free to run wild with character creation!

Anya is the best GM I've played with, period. If you are lucky enough to be in her games prepare for fun, comedy and great story telling.

Anya was awesome! She led four inexperienced players through a holiday festival one-shot module that she'd written. She was super patient, enthusiastic, supportive, and willing to go wherever we wanted to go. An absolutely perfect Christmas gift, thank you Anya!

Anya made my first time playing an amazing, safe and fun experience! She took the time to answer questions, gives the opportunity to get creative, was very encouraging throughout, and made sure everyone was heard! Definitely would recommend and look forward to adventuring with her again¡

So, I did a one shot as a way to get back into DnD. Haven't played in almost 10 years. The one shot was really fun. Anya did not bog everyone down with rules. She only brought up rules as we got to them, like knowing when to roll for an attack and when to roll for damage. Also, the description of visuals of settings, people , and the monsters were great. It was a fun session and I have no problem recommending Anya as a Game Master to anyone.

Anya is a phenomenal game master who brings fantastic storytelling (amazing reveals!) and great characters to every session. Her ideas are creative, well set-up, and well thought out. She runs my favourite game with my favourite table. I love having Anya as a GM and will happily forgo other game masters in favour of her games! ^_^ She also is sure to be respectful and uses good safety tools. And she's very nice! <3

Anya is without a doubt one of the best GMs I’ve ever had at a table. She‘s so supportive of player creativity, allowing us to fully engage in the world building with her, and thus get completely immersed in the lives and experiences of our characters. She also makes a really safe space for us all to play in, making sure lines and veils are respected.

Additional details

How to prepare

Basic webcams (optional) and mics are perfectly fine! This isn't a streamed Actual Play, and the important thing is that we are able to see each other and understand one another. (Note: not required for Play-by-Post games, which are played on my Discord server!) Please have a basic understanding of the rules of 5e, but you don't need to be an expert by any means! That's what I'm here for. You are welcome to have your own physical dice to play with, or you can use virtual dice on websites such as D&D Beyond or even just Google's dice rolling system.

What I provide

I will bring a whole host of LGBTQ+ NPCs, maps, and a fascinating, mysterious adventure for the characters to explore.

Gameplay details

We will discuss the Lines & Veils list in session zero with names stripped away to be anonymous. There will be no graphic gore in this game, as it is one of my lines, and will be at most fade to black. If at any time a player needs to modify their Lines & Veils, they are absolutely welcome to message me privately and we will pivot/update that information accordingly. We take one 10-minute break in the middle of my sessions.

How will character creation work

Characters for this game will start at level 1 and can be created on your own on D&D Beyond. If you have any questions or are new to D&D, I am happy to meet with you for a half hour to build your character with you! I use the 4d6 method for stats, where you roll 4d6 and drop the lowest number for each roll to determine your character's stats.
