About the adventure
Embark on an epic quest to save the multiverse in our high-level (15-20) D&D 5E campaign, "Even Gods Have Secrets - Vecna: Eve of Ruin"! Vecna, the Whispered One, has set his sights on godhood, and only the most seasoned adventurers stand a chance of thwarting his dark designs. Navigate treacherous catacombs, uncover ancient secrets in forgotten libraries, and battle legions of undead as you confront the ultimate evil. This campaign offers a rich, immersive experience, where your choices will shape the fate of entire planes. Whether you're a powerful spellcaster, a master of combat, or a cunning strategist, your skills will be pushed to the limit. Join us on StartPlaying.games and take part in a thrilling journey where your heroics could be all that stands between the world and ruin. Are you ready to face the Whispered One? In this campaign you will: 🗡️Face off against Vecna's undead legions in epic, high-stakes battles! 📜Uncover ancient secrets that could alter the fate of the multiverse! 🧩Outsmart deadly traps and solve mind-bending puzzles in dark, forbidden places! 🌌Explore the twisted landscapes of the Shadowfell, where reality itself bends to Vecna's will! ⚔️Confront powerful cultists and Vecna’s most loyal minions in thrilling showdowns! 🎭And yet see that good roleplay and smart game play can solve most problems! Experience a fresh take Vecna Eve of Ruin with a DM with 20+ years of experience! 💖 Pulse pounding suspense to thrill and excite! 🎙️ Top shelf voice acting to enchant and entertain! 🗺️ Dazzling maps to puzzle and please! ⛰️ Breathtaking scenery to chill you to the bone! 🎻 Incredible soundtrack to frighten and enlighten! 🎵 Suspenseful ambience to highten the tension! In this campaign, you will be joining with three other dedicated players who have built their heroes up to level 15 through Rime of the Frostmaiden. New players will create characters with me or we can port over an existing 15th lvl hero pending my approval, using DnDBeyond.com in an individual session zero (free) and then you will take your first steps with this wonderful group! This campaign begins at level 15 and will go all the way to level 20 so this is your chance for High Level Gameplay like no other! It is recommended that you have some D&D experience as Vecna Eve of Ruin can present deadly challenges. I will be running this on Sundays during the day. I am looking for roleplayers who like opportunities to solve difficult situations with alternatives to combat, who love the thrill of exploration mixed with puzzle solving as well as opportunities for roleplay and intrigue in the Forgotten Realms setting. (But I won't shy away from a good, descriptive and intense combat scene!)

About me
I am a 46 year old DM (He/Him) who considers himself an ally for the LGBTQ+ gaming community and loves seeing more inclusion and representation coming to my favorite hobby, table top role playing games! I've been playing TTRPGS for over 31 years now and DMing for 22 of those years. My preferred system is D&D 5E but I have begun branching out into Call of Cthulhu 7E and World of Darkness 5E.
View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
When you sign up we will be conducting an individual, private, and free Session Zero where I will walk you through Character Creation and guide you through your character sheet on DnDBeyond. Everything you need for character creation will be handled during this Session Zero. If you have signed up less than an hour before game time you will not be joining us until the following week unless you have a nearly complete character in DnDBeyond which I can approve and verify beforehand. Forcing a session zero for a new player right at the beginning of a session the others are already paying for is not fair to anyone. Currently we have 3 players who have established characters at Level 15 so you will also be starting at this level.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players should have: Webcam (optional) Microphone An account on Roll20.net (free) An account on DnDBeyond.com (free) Either Chrome or Firefox browser (free) Installation of the Beyond20 Extension (free)(search Google for "beyond20 extension") A gmail email address (for Google Meet which I use as a backup for Discord) (free) Dice will be used digitally through DnDBeyond so no physical dice are required. (free) No need for character sheet printouts or anything like that as I will walk you through character creation.
What AaronDungeonMaster brings to the table
I will provide DnD Beyond access to all available races and magic items so that character creation options are wide open. I am a member of several great Patreons and I am a digital artist myself so I have some amazing maps and character tokens and can create custom tokens for you for our first session, following character creation in Session Zero. Come join my latest adventure and see what awaits! My version of the Forgotten Realms is different than most and more than a little homebrewed. For one thing, it is set a little further in the future than the current official D&D timeline (1532 DR) where the very first airships have begun to fly the skies (though still very rare) and land and water transportation have begun to fear for their ability to compete. There are pistols and rifles and I offer rules for playing a gunslinger. In addition, all official D&D races and classes are welcome (excluding Spelljammer's more alien races). I like to build a campaign around your characters. The only thing to keep in mind is your characters should have a reason to adventure and an interest in doing so with a group of like-minded heroes. To help build that synergy we will have a session zero to get things rolling. I run a game where I encourage roleplay and reward attempts to roleplay in character. I will work with you to help find your character's motivations. I also love a good, descriptive fight scene and will help make combats more exciting and narrative using my own homebrew tools and techniques. There will be a good deal of puzzles as this adventure is built on Vecna Eve of Ruin and there are lots of opportunities to solve problems and defeat obstacles with puzzles! This particular campaign has the potential to be brutal as we are facing high level challenges so please keep that in mind.

How AaronDungeonMaster creates a safe table
IMPORTANT NOTE: Players who sign up one hour before a game session will be joining the game the following week if you haven't already spoken to me and set up your character before then. I used Monte Cook's RPG Consent List as well as Lines and Veils to help keep everyone within their comfort zone as best as I can but this is a Horror campaign set in the with potential situations where characters are trapped in tight spaces so please consider these things heavily before you sign up. Feel free to message me if you have concerns.
