About the adventure
Raise your sails and ready your blades—Rum, Rogues & Riches is a high-stakes pirate fantasy campaign where legends are made, not born. Join the Blazing Tide Dominion and carve your name into the sea itself. ⚓ Rum, Rogues & Riches – The Rise of the Blazing Tide Dominion A Pirate-Fantasy Naval Campaign of Glory, Grit, and Fire Ahoy, Adventurers—The Sea Calls. The ocean is no longer lawless—it belongs to those bold enough to take it. From tavern brawls and sea beasts to naval warfare and dragonfire diplomacy, the crew of the Haunted Halibut has risen from nobody pirates to the architects of a rising power: the Blazing Tide Dominion. Formed by the haunted Commodore Morgann “Hex” Blackwood, the fierce Ashenfang Orcs of Cindershore, and the young red dragon Morgrath the Scorched, the Dominion now battles empires, ghost captains, and monstrous legends to seize control of the high seas. But the tides are shifting—and we need more. ⚔️ What Awaits You: 🏝 Base-Building & Faction Politics Expand Cindershore, your pirate stronghold, by capturing ships, forging alliances, managing trade, and defending it from threats like the Anchored Legion or the ghost ship Bone Sails. ⛵ Naval Warfare & Monster Hunts Engage in ship-to-ship battles, sea monster fights, and daring boarding actions. Upgrade your fleet with ogre-powered siege weapons and outmaneuver your enemies. 🐉 Dragon Pacts & Mythic Power Morgrath offers protection and power—but demands loyalty and tribute. Navigate the politics of flame and lava if you hope to draw from his strength. 📦 Trade, Smuggling & Treasure Runs Smuggle goods, negotiate black market deals, and raid rival fleets. Each haul funds your growing dominion. 🧭 Exploration & Discovery Uncover ancient ruins, uncharted islands, and lost magic. Every choice leaves its mark on the world. 📜 Your Role: Position: Crewmember of the Haunted Halibut and Ally of the Blazing Tide Dominion Traits: Daring. Clever. Loyal (or at least useful). Useful Traits: Quick thinking, bold decisions, creative solutions, or the will to survive when things go sideways. 🔥 Campaign Highlights: Epic Storytelling with cinematic pacing and real consequences Faction & Worldbuilding shaped by player decisions High-Seas Shenanigans from tavern fights to sea monsters Deep Roleplay with lasting relationships and legacies 💀 Recent Events: Survived an ancient storm beast and the ghost ship Bone Sails Forged a pact with a lava-born dragon Built a pirate nation—and it’s only just begun 🏴☠️ Ready to Join the Crew? The fire rises, and the tides swell. Forge your legend in the Blazing Tide Dominion. All games are LGBTQ+ and female-friendly. No tolerance for toxicity.

About me
Hi there! I’m Archon, your Dungeon Master, bringing over 7 years of D&D 5e experience and a lifetime immersed in fantasy worlds. I love crafting immersive stories, introducing new players to the magic of tabletop RPGs, and tailoring adventures to fit each player's unique style and character. My campaign seats are priced for two simple reasons: 1. Quality matters. Every campaign is set in a custom-built world with living, breathing NPCs and dynamic storylines that weave your character’s decisions—big or small—into the very fabric of the narrative. What you do matters, and it shows. 2. A better table for everyone. My players are invested, engaged, and genuinely excited to play. The result? A welcoming, energetic, and unforgettable gaming experience. From epic inspirations like Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones to the whimsical charm of Pooh Bear and Pokémon, I bring creativity and passion to every session. With Roll20, D&D Beyond, and Discord, my games are smooth, interactive, and seamless. My games—and my Discord—are proudly LGBTQ+ and female-friendly spaces, where respect is a must and inclusivity thrives. Ready to adventure? Roll initiative and let’s create some unforgettable magic together!

Creating your character
Characters are currently level 6 and you will be too! You will be using D&DBeyond for character creation where I have tons of purchased and homebrew content Though it's mostly all available to you, please ask before you use homebrew stuff as it's all built within the rules of D&DBeyond's creation tools and therefore is not all balanced or available for every campaign or one-shot
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You will need a mic and an account on: Roll20 D&DBeyond Discord Webcam is encouraged but absolutely not required! If you need help setting up any of this please message me and I will help you!
What Archon brings to the table
My GM style is a dynamic blend of immersive storytelling, tactical combat, and player-driven exploration. I focus on creating rich, detailed worlds where every character’s choices shape the narrative, ensuring that each session is interactive and engaging. I enjoy writing deep lore and use a mix of custom maps, images, music and descriptions to make you feel immersed in our world plus tons of purchased and homebrew content on D&DBeyond Whether you’re a seasoned player or new to D&D, I tailor my approach to fit your needs, offering a supportive environment that encourages creativity and collaboration. With a lifetime of fantasy inspiration and proficiency in platforms like Roll20 and D&D Beyond, my games are seamless and visually captivating. Join me for adventures that promise excitement, camaraderie, and unforgettable moments. All of my games come with a FREE first session to go over lines and veils, lay out my DM style and give you a preview of the game with no commitment to continue if it doesn't work for any reason. All of my games and my discord are LGBTQ+ and Female friendly and I will not tolerate anything less.
