Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Lunchbreak Heroes presents: Sleepless in Scarsnik

About the adventure

The residents of the remote mining town of Scarsnik are no strangers to long hours and working late into the night to ship gems and ore and meet deadlines. But over the past week, no one has slept, and the people of Scarsnik are losing their minds to sleep deprivation. Sent in as a group of investigators, you must uncover the reason for this sudden change. Will you find what's gnawing at the poor people of Scarsnik, or will your greatest fears devour you alive? This is a oneshot adventure for 4-5 players at 5-6th level.

How to prepare

A microphone will be a necessity, webcam is optional though I do prefer using them. I will use mine so I can convey my story to the players better. If you are uncomfortable with being on webcam, you do not have to! A headset is highly recommended. Please have a look at my table rules beforehand, and feel free to ask any questions before we start. As for dice, you can use the DnDBeyond digital dice, or physical ones if you prefer. I like to work with an honor system, so I trust you are honest about your dice throws. You will only need a Chrome (or chromium-compatible) browser to run my oneshots, no additional software needed.

What I provide

I will bring an amazingly detailed world to play in, with maps designed by the amazing DM Andy. If you sent me an image of your character, I will make sure it will be turned into a token before we start! No image? Give me your best description and I will do my best to make a token that suits your description, before we start!

Gameplay details

Before we play, I will invite you to my personal Discord, and share three short survey lists with you covering the lines and veils you might wish, as well as some player expectations so I can tailor the story to suit your needs and wishes.

How will character creation work

Your characters will be limited to level 5 or 6 (depending on party size), and should be created before the Oneshot starts. I highly prefer character sheets through D&D Beyond, but if you make a PDF that is fine too! You are free to pick any character and class combination, though I always do advise to check with the rest of the players if you are unsure of your choice. If you need help in creating your character or if you have any specific questions for creation, you can ask them to me or eachother through Discord. A separate channel will be made for your game!
