Strixhaven | Don't Be A Fool, Come To Magic School! | 🏳️🌈 DM
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
Welcome to Strixhaven. The books float. The classes sparkle. The rivals glare. It’s a magical university where your next big adventure is between lecture halls, spell duels, & late-night café debates that might end in fireballs. 🏛️ Pick your college. Prismari. Witherbloom. Quandrix. Lorehold. Silverquill. Each one’s got its own vibe, spell style, & student drama just waiting to unfold. 🗺️ Go beyond the classroom. Solve ancient mysteries, chase weird campus rumors, & pull off magical heists with your study group. 🎓 Grow your legend. This isn’t about XP grinds. It’s about character arcs—earning trust, unlocking secrets, & finding out who you really are in a place built to challenge you. ❤️ Make it personal. Rivals, besties, awkward romances—NPCs have lives, stories, and opinions, and your choices shape how they see you. Strixhaven is more than a school—it’s where magic meets meaning. So grab your books, roll for charm, & find your place in a world that’s got just as much heart as it does chaos. Class is in session. ✨ [[Beginner & LGBTQIA2S+ Friendly]] ------------------------------------------- 📣See what Victoria has to say about my GM'ing: "Continuing our Lost Mine of Phandelver campaign, we had a balanced session filled with shopping and combat. The RP during the shopping session was so fun! The tavern we were at had amazing visuals and a collection of characters that made the experience lively and immersive. While we shared a room in the tavern, Leland used introspective character questions to deepen our bonds and prompt further RP. The combat later on was smooth and fun, with Leland's character voices, depictions, and music setting the scene perfectly. Kudos to our wonderful DM for continuously hosting such wonderful sessions! I'm literally on vacation in Hawaii and made sure to set aside time to attend -- that's how brilliant Leland is and how delightful his games and community are. "
Game style
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.
NOTE: THE GROUP IS CURRENTLY LEVEL 3 Every Saturday at 5pm Central IMPORTANT We require a 24-hour cutoff before any established campaign begins to onboard new players. This time allows us to properly introduce the player to the game and ensure they are fully prepared to join the ongoing campaign. If the onboarding process cannot be completed within this timeframe, the player will need to delay joining until the process is finalized. In special circumstances, the DM may have the discretion to make exceptions to this rule.

Gameplay details
I'll have everyone submit lines/veils/interests via a google form, then I will distribute a pdf document for the other players to have on hand.

How will character creation work
If you'd like to make a character in advance, the parameters are as follows. It must be made on Roll20 OR on DndBeyond + the Beyond20 extension if you're wanting to use the 2024 material exclusively, which is allowed, just not suggested: -Lvl (current campaign level, please ask) -Standard array ability scores -Starting equipment -Max HP at 1st level, average after that (fixed) -a bonus feat based on your background, using this guide: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ofgtj4c46M7hBe2eAViKh3ssXaXfhMdzZRgEe46Qolc/edit?usp=sharing -All WOTC content available in my roll20 library is available to make a character with, including 3rd party classes, subclasses, races, & spells from: Midgard Worldbook, Rise of the Drow, Chains of Asmodeus, Sebastian Crowe's guide to Drakkenheim, Dungeons of Drakkenheim, Southlands Player's Guide & Worldbook, Creature Codex, Tal'Dorei Campaign Setting Reborn, Deep Magic Vol. 1 & 2, The Beastheart & Monstrous Companions, The Illrigger, Empire of the Ghouls, Tome of Beasts 1, 2, & 3, Tome of Heroes, Flee Mortals, Underworld Player's Guide, Valda's Spire of Secrets, Vault of Magic, Wanderer's Guide to Enchanted Emporiums, Wanderer's Guide to Merchants and Magic, Wastes of Chaos, Where Evil Lives, Book of Ebon Tides, & Xanathar's Lost Notes to Everything Else. 127+ races. 41+ classes. Otherwise, I can personally get with anyone and help them in advance. I'd like to use session 0 to discuss safety, do some collaborative storytelling to establish relationships between PC's, and maybe even get intros to said characters. However, we will make it work!
