The City of Brass! a new level 18-20 campaign
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
The City of Brass... The name conjures visions of magnificence and splendor, of mystery and timelessness. A place of wonder, a fable, an enigma, a magical fortress adrift in a sea of flame under a sky of fire, a fantasy and so much more. Home to the satrapy, final resting place of the Sultana, high kingdom of the efreet, treasury to all the races of genie, this is a place born of the dreams of the very gods of creation. This is a city unlike any found in the universe, with impossibly tall minarets, and impossibly impregnable walls guarded by the leering demon gates. Behind those gates, high adventure awaits those brave enough to test their mettle against the diabolical wit of the treacherous efreet. The City of Brass floats forever on the border of the Plane of Elemental Fire and the Plane of Molten Skies, which alone is the sole dominion of the fabled city’s cruel Sultan. A bazaar at the crossroads of the universe, the city has long been rumored amongst mortal folk to be a repository of relics both fantastic and foul. Here is a place where your greatest dreams and worst nightmares may be granted with a wish if the price is right. This is an ongoing campaign set in the Lost Lands, where our players have made it to tier 4 and are ready to continue their extraplanar adventures. We will be going on 10 adventures set in the City of Brass. Players: genie warlock Ali, undead barbarian/echo knight fighter Imonar, undead phantom rogue Alora, kenku cleric Gem-Gem NPCs: Basalt (earth elemental myrmidon), Sam (deva), Chad (Paladin of Delta Kai)

How to prepare
Players need a working mic and access to a computer. The game will be held over discord and roll20, so you will need an account on both. Players will need to make their character sheet ahead of time in roll20 or dndbeyond. If dndbeyond, they will need to have the chrome extension beyond20.
What I provide
If you play with me, you'll be playing with one of the most recommended dms on the site, as well as one of the most experienced dms for balancing high level play in 5e. I have level 16/20 oneshots I run regularly on SPG, as well as seven ongoing level 20 campaigns. Before I became an SPG dm, I was running level 11-20 adventures for years. I use unique monsters, strategies, and my vast experience to truly deliver an amazing game. If you love combat, this is the game for you! I work hard to provide an immersive online experience for my players. I use music and soundscapes to set the mood. I use imagery for theatre of the mind roleplay, and beautiful maps from various sources for combat and exploration. I am constantly improving my roll20 room with effects and visuals for you all to enjoy. I make sure to give everyone a chance for their character to shine, and play to their strengths and abilities. In my games you can expect challenging combat, great improvisation, and an immersive world to play in. I put player agency and involvement first, and I want to emphasize the fact that this game is a cooperative environment between myself and the players. I run my games RAW, or rules as written. If you have a rules question for me that I haven't come across before or forgotten about, I will pause the game momentarily to look it up and make sure everything is according to the spirit of the rules. I reference Sage Advice/Jeremy Crawford tweets, but have my own opinions as well (such as the interpretation of magic missile, shield master feat, and dispel magic). I have one homebrew rule, and that's you can bonus action drink a potion.
