About the adventure
Listen up, so-called "hunters": Why do you leave your defeated enemies to waste? You slay a dragon but only walk away with a few trinkets, leaving the useful parts for scavengers. And what about the owlbear you supposedly defeated? Did you keep any trophies? No! You just told stories at the tavern to impress your friends! The ultimate reward for taking on the challenge is the chance to forge a massive club or greatsword from a T-Rex's jaws. Maybe grilling a steak from a colossal beast that grants special powers like elemental damage and resistance. Join our guild if you're dedicated to hunting these dangerous creatures! 🏹 Join the hunt with the updated 2024 rules, compatible with 5e! New to the game? We’re here to help! 🧭 Explore different realms to track your targets and uncover their weaknesses. What will you discover along the way? 🦖 Encounter new, powerful foes in serialized adventures as you climb the guild's hierarchy. Will you emerge as a master hunter or fall as the hunted? 🛠️ Use your harvest to craft gear, magical items, and food. Let your imagination run wild! What will you create at the workbench? 🧙🧞🐲🦝 A colorful cast of quirky characters, from rival hunters to marketing automatons, awaits you on your adventures. Who will be your friends and enemies? 👤Explore new player character options, including new races, a new class, subclasses, and spells introduced by a particular half-orc huntress! Will you serve the gods of the hunt, harness the powers of life itself, tame monsters to become your allies, or master the art of mystical cuisine? If you’re wondering where to start hunting magnificent beasties, it’s not in Australia, Africa, or South America! You only need a computer with internet access, a microphone, and a strong imagination. So, which are you—a "hunter" or a MONSTER hunter?

How to prepare
Players will need: - A working microphone. - A Discord account. - A Roll20 account.
What I provide
- A private discord server for players to chat and make posts. - A Roll20 pro account that allows the use of the compendium, dynamic lighting on maps, and the new Jumpgate features to improve the flow of gameplay. - The 5th Edition core rules and expansions. - The updated rules from the 2024 Player's Handbook and Dungeon Master's Guide. - "Heliana's Guide to Monster Hunting" by Max Wartelle, João Araújo, Mage Armoire, Tony Casper, Kevin “Smood” McDonnell, Jethro Mellors, and Duncan Watson. - Additional books and PDFs that can be used as references. - Maps made by Inkarnate, DungeonFog, CzePeku, and others. - A quest board for you and the other players to look at and choose which adventure or quests to take. - Voicemod to help change my voice for different characters and add soundboards for some sound effects. - The Rule of Cool instead of just the rules as written (RAW).
Gameplay details
I will provide a document and checklist to fill in for any table rules, lines, and veils that need to be covered. We can take 10-15 minute breaks during longer sessions if needed. This is an open-door campaign, so players can come and go as required. Please inform me in advance if you won't attend a session or need to leave early. If any issues arise, we can discuss how to improve future games.

How will character creation work
Here are some guidelines for character creation: - Character sheets will be available to create and edit on the journal tab on Roll20. - You can use the character creator feature to simplify building your adventurer or start from scratch. - Stats will be determined by the standard array or rolling 4d6 and dropping the lowest die. - For newer players, I will assist in any way I can help in character building and understanding mechanics. - You can use the rules provided in the Roll20 compendium. However, you can inquire about using other references that can be edited into your sheet as well. - If you want to jump in without all the complicated steps of making a character, Roll20 provides several premade ones you can select to start playing!
