About the adventure
Your character is a deadly dark elf. If you love the mechanics of this game, the story-telling, and the drow culture, and you've been searching for a space that celebrates your ideas for character customization, this is the campaign you've been waiting for. Play in what I like to call a web-box, where every action you take matters and affects other simultaneous groups. Survive the intrigues and bloodlust among the most powerful factions of Faerun: the houses of the Dark Elf Empire. You belong to House Fey-Branche: artists of magic, entertainment, and intrigue. This is the family with the most scores to settle with others. You are joining a group that has achieved: - Defending Menzoberranzan from the siege against Gracklstugh and the Scoured Legion - Elevating drow culture within and beyond the Empire through theater and architecture - Invading surface kingdoms in the name of Lolth. Unleash your darkest potential!

About me
I was nine years old when I was introduced to the marvelous world of Dungeons and Dragons by my older brothers. It was amazing for me how I and my fellow players could have the experience of being the main characters of an exciting story. Soon I wanted to share this with everyone, so I became the forever Dungeon Master of all the school and job places throughout my career. This love for tales that TTRPG gave to me turned me into a scriptwriter in my adult life. All the joyful fun that happens around the table during a game session also had an impact on me towards comedy. I currently work at two tv shows (One comedy show and one D&D show) in Mexico. I also have been a professional GM for five years now. With these jobs, I happen to be a very happy man. I'm bilingual, so some of my games are in English, and then some others are played in Spanish. A lot has happened in the world over the past few years, things that have changed how we face our life and how we see ourselves. So mental health is also a big issue for me. My games are focused on creating a connection between the adults we are now and the inner child that fuels our day-to-day life with the energy of JOY.

How Omar, the Cartesian Roach creates a safe table
- My version of Menzoberranzan comes from the love of R.A. Salvatore's novels. I like to dive deep into Drow culture. Here the party plays as part of one of the eight Ruling Noble Houses. First trying to survive as a self, then as a clan, and finally as a kingdom during the most chaotic era of this great city. - Inspired by Salvatore, I bring a lot of Mario Puzo's Godfather's mood to the table, as well as some inspiration from TV shows like Game of Thrones, Succession, and Mordor-like darkness LOTR. - If you already know how to play D&D 5e, please note that I use a few variant rules in my games in order to make them feel more lethal.
