About the adventure
Explore and survive on a lost island with ancient secrets from two different epochs, meet cunning pirates, devious dragons, harrowing hags, and rescue the crew of a shipwreck from goblin savages that speak only simple phrases. Discover the story of the Isle of Mnemos and how all of this came to be! Level 1-10 and up to 20. * Players accepted in established groups will have a probationary period of 1-5 sessions to ensure player cohesion.
Game style
Combat Heavy
“Combat Heavy” games emphasize the combat mechanics within their systems over roleplay or puzzle solving. There are frequent and longer battles with enemies and a greater emphasis on tactical game play.
Dungeon Crawl
A “Dungeon Crawl” is a scenario where players navigate a dungeon or labyrinth-like environment for the entirety of the adventure. It emphasizes battling monsters, collecting loot, and avoiding traps to survive to the end!
Roleplay Heavy
“Roleplay Heavy” games place the focus on the story, the characters, and the world they live within, and tend to lean hard into the various roleplaying elements of the game. These games will frequently find the party talking with NPCs, exploring the personal elements of their backstories, or even having emotional moments around the camp fire.
Rule of Cool (RoC)
“Rule of Cool” emphasizes creative story beats over sticking to a system’s rules as written. Players have the ability to push the limits of the rules or even break core rule mechanics at times if the Game Master thinks it is interesting, fun, or cool enough.
Rules as Written (RaW)
Games that are ran “Rules as Written” emphasize realism and stick to the letter of the rules, allowing players to explore creative solutions while still operating under a consistent rule set. Players have the ability to utilize the rules in creative ways to create awesome characters and moments in the game.
In this game, I'll be running the Tales from the Yawning Portal, which I've previously run as backup campaigns when players missed sessions. Some of the adventures will be my first run of the material. Most players in this game have completed Forgotten on the Isle of Mnemos. A new Lost Mine of Phandelver campaign was started and finished. The group just completed the Hidden Shrine of Tamoachan with their LMoP characters after their near defeat by LMoP's BBEG, the Dread Spider, who threw them into a dungeon containing the Hidden Shrine of Tamoachan to reap whatever treasures they might find. However, the dice had a natural 20 from a huge Dwarf in store for their second meeting, and Nezznar, the Dread Spider, along with his drow snipers, are now but paste upon the Underdark substrate! Boh'Ro, the Gnome Cleric, Neurik, the Duergar Rune Knight, and Xyrros, the Wood Elf Ranger have now emerged at an empty safe house of the Dread Spider's network in Leilon, with their bags burdened by treasures. The city of Leilon now sees the wagons of Gundren Rockseeker's copper, nickel, and silver ore trades, though what has happened to Wave Echo Cave after the party's defeat and what lies in store for them in Leilon? * Group & Military Discounts (contact me) * Premium maps and Token Art. * DM with 1000s of hours as a Pro GM running this adventure. * One-shots when more than 50% of members miss a session.

Gameplay details
Game will be kept in the neighborhood of PG & PG-13. Each session begins with an opportunity to state or discuss Session 0 topics. Players are free to pause the game (Open Door). Each hour of gameplay has a 5 minute break that anyone can call (Breaks). Debriefing will be used as necessary when players are struggling, and each session ends with Stars and Wishes. I avoid sensitive topics and describe combat encounters in comic detail. Ex: "the barbarian casts divide goblins with his wand of battle axing as they cleave from left goblin to right goblin turning 2 into 4" or "as the goblin is hit with your repelling blast, it explodes into shrapnel that strikes the goblin behind it." I also treat every session as a session 0, so if you're surprised, new, or have new ideas, you're encouraged to share them at the start of each session and to speak up if anything, technical, emotional, or otherwise, needs to be addressed during the game.
