About the adventure

A sinister force, long thought destroyed, stirs from the black hole that spawned it. Like an ebony darkness, it prowls the land and safety is but an illusion, for it watches from every shadow and ponders possibilities. Evil broods and grows beneath the blasted stones of the Temple of Elemental Evil. This is your chance to drive it back and scatter its forces once again. TOEE is a timeless dungeon crawl written by Dungeons and Dragons creator, Gary Gygax. This campaign has it all: epic battles; political intrigue; compelling NPCs which provide endless opportunities for roleplaying; traps; and, if you are lucky (or unlucky) enough, guest appearances by the Gods themselves. This campaign will conservatively take you from level 1 to level 10 as you battle agents of evil in an effort to save the world from the denizens of the Temple before they begin their march on the world. It has an introductory adventure that sets the stage for the eventual storming of the Temple and which will give novice players the experience needed to overcome the challenges that await in the Temple.

Additional details

How to prepare

Mic required. Webcam optional. DnD Beyond and Discord accounts required. Syrinscape account highly encouraged for optimal playing experience. Character creation before Session 0 required based on the 2024 Player's Handbook, Tasha's, or Xanathar's. Anything outside those source books upon approval; I will most likely approve if you provide me with the name of the book where your requested class, race, item, etc. is listed so I can review.

What I provide

This campaign will require membership on DnD Beyond (its free) and a Discord account (also free) with at least a microphone or headset with microphone. Camera is optional. I will be providing ambient music and sound effects which can be directly streamed to your speakers/headset if you also have a membership (also free) to Syrinscape. All maps will be provided on DndBeyond with fog of war for any, as yet, unexplored areas. The occasional picture of a scene or NPC will be posted on discord. Admission to the campaign will give you access to all 5e core books (2014 and 2024) and Tasha's Cauldron of Everything. I am not particularly good at voices but, trust me, they will come out for many major, and some minor, NPCs. I highly encourage you to pull out your entire arsenal of playacting, roleplaying, and even character-themed attire. Have fun with this! I know I will. Generally speaking, all of my campaigns are Rules as Written. That being said, there is always room for improvement and there will be exceptions. I will elaborate at Session 0 but usually if I stray from a rule, its to the characters' benefit. I will also keep an open thread in discord where players can suggest rules they have experienced in the past that made the game more enjoyable. As long as the game stays balanced, we can do whatever will make the game fulfilling for all.

Gameplay details

Open Door allows players to momentarily step away from the game in response to instances of distress without penalty or judgment. As for Aftercare, I will check in on discord after every single session for input regarding the players' comfort with, and enjoyment of, the campaign. I will always be available via private message to discuss any particularly sensitive issues and to find resolution for those issues. Lastly, we will all meet for a free Session 0 in which, amongst other things, I will discuss boundaries, mutual respect, and tolerance, ideally love, for all persons in the group. I will also reiterate the above guideline for dealing with stressful situations with others in the group or with particular encounters or scenes in the adventure. Please note that cruel and disrespectful behavior may result in expulsion from the group without refund. Minor infractions will receive up to three warnings before expulsion. Just be cool and I promise we will all have a great time!

How will character creation work

All characters will start at 1st level. Have a character ready for session 0 on DnD Beyond that is created from the 2024 Player's Handbook, Tasha's, or Xanathar's (any items, classes, spells, races, etc. outside those source books only upon my approval). I really have no preference how you create your character and you do not need to check in with me for the basics. Equip yourself how you see fit with non-magical items. The free Session 0 will consist of basic introductions of both the players and the characters; assistance or clarification, if needed, on character creation; a few basic rules regarding player interaction, character interaction, and gameplay; messing around on DnD Beyond to assure everyone's proficient and comfortable with it; and if time allows, the introductory information to the campaign.
