About the adventure

Wrin Sivinxi has seen a ghastly glow coming from the ruins of Gauntlight Keep. While she has always been a bit eccentric, you've never known the elf's visions to be false. Thus have you come to the small village of Otari on the southern coast of Starstone Isle to investigate on her behalf. A band of brave heroes once slew a wicked sorceress in that old keep, long since fallen to the ravages of time. "That was nearly 500 years ago," the village leaders reassure you. "There's nothing left there that could pose any real threat." But time does not heal all wounds. Some lie forgotten, hidden and rotting in the dark. What then has been festering beneath those ruins all this time? After all, you have never known Wrin's visions to be false. Abomination Vaults is a campaign which takes players deep into the twisting caverns lurking beneath the ominous Gauntlight lighthouse over character levels 1-10. As a megadungeon, much of the game will take place below ground: fighting monsters, dodging traps, and mapping out the vast subterranean structure. Between excursions, retreat to the town of Otari to tend your wounds, take stock of your spoils, and get to know the people whose fates lie in your hands. The history of this place is built on tragedy. Will your own tale follow suit, or will you triumph over whatever chthonic horrors lie beneath?

How to prepare

A microphone and free Discord account will be required for voice chat. No other programs are necessary, as the game will be hosted on Foundry.

What I provide

I provide a Foundry server with the official module conversion, including maps, handouts, and splash art, as well as a private discord server for voice chat, out-of-game discussion, and color commentary.

Gameplay details

In addition to the content warnings below, the campaign also touches on topics of scientific experimentation on humanoid subjects. During Session 0, we'll discuss all the available safety tools and how best to handle such sensitive content as a table. My tables have a zero tolerance policy for any behavior or language that makes other players feel unwelcome or unsafe

How will character creation work

During Session 0, we'll go over character concepts as a group. Feel free to come with something in mind or feel it out with everyone else. Characters will begin at level 1, and where possible we will be using the remastered rules. This doesn't rule out older character options which haven't yet been updated, but anything that has will use the newer version. Any Uncommon options will need to be run by me for approval, and Rare options will require buy-in from the whole group as they can sometimes be disruptive to the narrative.
