About the adventure
๐Can You Stop The Inevitable?๐ Hero's get remembered, but Legends never die. And you're the latter. Maybe you solved the Rime of the Frostmaiden, or maybe you delved the Dungeon of the Mad Mage. Maybe you crossed the wastelands of Avernus, or faced the Ghosts of Saltmarsh. None of that matters now. Not with His return. Because He is not some petulant goddess or evil tyrant. He is Vecna, and if you don't win, the Multiverse is doomed. Good luck, hero. You'll need it. [Banner art by Dantii, used with her permission. See more of her work at https://dantiiart.carrd.co/]

About me
๐ถ Hello adventurers! Stay a while and listen as we embark on a fantastic journey! ๐ถ You can call me Mashby. I've been playing Dungeons & Dragons since 2e when I was a teenager. My favorite system was definitely 3.5e and my longest running game has been in 5e. Previously I've worked as an animator and production designer, and now I am an experience designer specializing in gamified learning. New players and folx with marginalized identities will find a safe space at my table, for it is my firm belief that all people deserve to create and have their stories heard. Collaborative storytelling is the portal through which we can explore the deepest dungeons and the furthest stars together.

Mashby has an incredible knack for making a group of strangers feel like friends youโve known for years. The Campaigns they run are always ripe with opportunities for player characters to have a direct and meaningful impact on the outcome of any given scenario. 10/10 would recommend.

What to expect
Preparing for the session
I regularly check-in with my players and tailor the adventures to meet their needs and ensure everyone has an amazing experience. A typical session will be everyone joining the Discord voice channel, and then joining the Foundry VTT link a few minutes before the start to load the map and have some time for social chat. After everyone is situated and ready to go then we will jump right into the game. Exploration and Roleplay will be large portions of the game as well as Combat, but these things will be tuned to meet everyone's needs. I like to play games with a healthy mix of role-playing and strategy, keeping time for both serious, dramatic moments and silly, humorous story beats. You can expect the game world to be fully developed, everywhere you go will be saturated in narrative, animated artwork, cartography, voice mods and atmospheric music. My games are a safe space for everyone involved, which we can go over with Lines & Veils. The most important goal for me as the GM is to make sure everyone has a great time playing. In a standard 3 hour game you can expect to have a 10-minute break around mid-session, and quick bio breaks whenever needed.
