About the adventure
"The evil lich-god Vecna has unearthed secrets he can use to unravel and remake the multiverse. Stopping Vecna will require working with three of the multiverse's most famous archmages, traveling to far-flung locales, and rebuilding the legendary Rod of Seven Parts. "Vecna: Eve of Ruin is a high-stakes Dungeons & Dragons adventure in which the fate of the multiverse hangs in the balance. The heroes begin in the Forgotten Realms and travel to Planescape, Spelljammer, Eberron, Ravenloft, Dragonlance, and Greyhawk as they race to save existence from obliteration. "A Dungeons & Dragons adventure for characters level 10-20." Join this high-level, high-stakes, high-story exploration of a game spanning 50 years of settings, lore, and fun. As a longtime DM, Connor has the background in the game to deliver a smorgasbord of flavorful experiences that let you sample the stories and tones of different D&D campaign settings while creating space for you to forge your own stories. Connor focuses not only on telling the best dang game out there, he creates spaces where players themselves find friendship with the others they play with. Not to mention at the end, Connor mails his players a gift package with thank you notes, cool swag, and things to ensure the experience is memorable.

About me
PREMIUM EXPERIENCES, FRIENDSHIP & ALL BELLS AND WHISTLES - RELIABLY DELIVERED! This is what you receive when you share one of my tables. I am a 30+ year facilitator of RPG games and public play events (including conventions), with over 40 production credits both written and streaming for Wizards of the Coast, DMs Guild, Grim and Perilous Games, and more. I promise top quality experiences delivered completely and safely with accents, sound effects, vibrant description, and even cosplay. Learn more about me, including viewing my products at: http://thehealerdm.carrd.com/ I provide mental health services to youth and families in a public school, so while I predominantly run games for adults, I am very comfortable switching gears to run for kids and families. The skills required to share the game with kids are a little different, and I'm happy to introduce your family to the world of gaming. Experiences I Offer? * Long-term campaigns (with thank you gifts at completion, for real) * One-shot adventures I have published (or am looking to publish with your help) * Company events * Child and adult birthday parties * Celebrations and special events * Gaming learn-to-plays Why Gaming? I enjoy the creativity of this hobby. The shared stories of triumph over adversity build powerful bonds between players. Many of my friends today I made around a gaming table or at gaming events. The connectedness this hobby creates is good for the soul, even offering healing. I promise my campaigns will deliver these to you. Why Hire Me? Every gamemaster on this site is unique. I bring my own set of skills to the table that make me a great pick for the right group. * I am a mental health therapist. The skills that make you a good therapist - communication, listening, understanding, collaboration, empathy - make you an amazing Gamemaster. A lot of my real world work is with kids and families, and I enjoy running games specifically for children and families. * This Master Ain't Sitting on a Mountain. I ran thousands of games (well over 10,000 hours of playtime) and contributed much to the industry, resulting in better player experiences. I am proud of my experience, but I remain a normal and approachable guy. Players meet up with me at cons all the time, and I promise a meal if we can make it happen. * No Holds Barred Gaming. You will feel like Batman because you will have all the cool toys. I share Zoom Pro, Syrinscape soundboard, Roll20 virtual tabletop (when requested), and online play resources (such as a complete D&D Beyond library, or through Google Drive). For D&D, we will use high production value versions by Beadle and Grimm's when available. On campaign completion, I even mail cool swag for players to keep as mementos! Kind & Safe Spaces My charity and advocacy work is well respected in the gaming community. I founded D8 Summit Charities, a 501c3 charity connecting gamer donors to local causes. I speak often about the homeless and the hungry and the sick, and the difficulties marginalized voices and veterans in our society face. Many games I run are explicitly for D8 Summit Charities and other worthy causes. I create specialized safe spaces for minority gamers, children, the neurodiverse, and gaymers. I may offer a discount for marginalized players and veterans upon request.

Creating your character
Character concepts will be determined during our Session 0 using a "creation as play" method. Characters will start at Level 1 and will be made on D&D Beyond before Session 1 using directions shared at the Session 0.
This game is anticipated to start on July 25.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players should download the following software and have accounts for the following software. Only free accounts are required, as the costs of all subscriptions are bore by the DM. * Zoom * A browser (Chrome or Firefox) with the Beyond20 extension installed and enabled * Roll20 * D&D Beyond Players should have access a computer capable of running the above software simultaneously, as well as a working mic and camera. As a campaign for somewhat experienced players, you should have some familiarity with the game. However, game concepts will continue to be taught and maintained throughout.
What Connor S - The Healer DM brings to the table

Safety
How Connor S - The Healer DM creates a safe table
Players can expect a fun and light gaming experience with a few challenging sequences and high drama. Plenty of opportunities for comedy, wonder, and spectacle are available. Safety tools are critical to ensure this remains true. You can expect safety tools to be seamlessly woven into how the game is played - you might not even notice them happening. Session 0 is mandatory for all players (even late arrivals). Each game starts with a mental health check and ends with a discussion of the game. Players will be given opportunity to confidentially share their lines and veils, and the X card can be played in a number of easy ways. In short, a safe environment where players can build community and explore the game world will be fostered.
