About the adventure

For newcomers willing to learn quickly and veterans alike, Vecna: Eve of Ruin is sure to be the adventure of a lifetime and the ultimate D&D experience. We will begin by playing the Lv.3 prequel adventure Nest of the Eldritch eye in our first post-session 0 game so any newcomers can get their feet wet and all players can get to know their characters before moving on to the main event. Prevent multiversal catastrophe by journeying across the planes of existence with the aid of famous wizards like Mordenkainen and Tasha. From Ravenloft, the realm of Strahd, to Hell itself, embark with me on a quest to unite the supremely powerful and legendary Rod of Seven Parts in order to put an end to the machinations of the Undying King himself - Vecna, the God of Evil Secrets. I am a professional writer with four years of experience being a DM. We'll be using D&DBeyond for a streamlined experience where I will have content sharing enabled giving us all exclusive access to VTT maps, magic items, spells, and even subclasses from the majority of published material. Craft the mighty character of your dreams as we tell a sweeping tale of strife and ultimate power.

About me

I've got almost 5 years of experience as both a Dungeon Master and professional writer! Community storytelling is my favorite aspect of the DMing experience and I'm excited to go on all sorts of adventures with whoever is down. I've got a homebrew campaign setting ready to go but am totally down to run pre-written modules as well.

Humberto is a fantastic DM! Definitely takes the time to get to know the players and characters and weave everyone's stories together, makes creative suggestions creating a fun and compelling narrative. Every session has been a blast so far. 10/10

I have been in at least three sessions with Humberto, he is very quick to react to the sometimes weird shenanigans that players may come up with, while keeping it fair and fun, improvising masterfully when players do very unexpected stuff. His descriptions really help providing immersion into the game, where you can feel the tension in suspenseful scenarios and the cheer and joy in happy ones. Definitely a great GM to play with

Humberto is very organized, yet flexible. He is very clear and detailed in his descriptions, which makes theater of the mind work perfectly. He has a great sense of humor, yet the game is not a joke to him and that's a difficult concept to balance. His speech as a dm and as a an npc flows with a constant rythm, meaning he does not stutter or hesitate. He reassures new players and allows shy experienced players to participate no more or less than they feel they want to. He makes sure that all players have a chance to shine in every session. He's very good. :)

Humberto's ability to be a DM is so good that it got me, a huge DND skeptic, to be totally bought in and absolutely begging to play DND whenever we can. He's so smart about everything, knows the rules, and his world building is INSANE. His attention to detail is so good and really demands you to want to play the game in the best way. If you're fully bought in to one of Humberto's campaigns, you're gonna have a great time.

Character creation
Creating your character

You will all create your characters on DnDBeyond. With a free account and access to my content you will be able to make a character using the majority of published material including subclasses and spells. Multiclassing is allowed. We will discuss character creation more in detail during session 0. For the first prequel session all characters will be Lv. 3 but the second session will start with all characters already at Lv. 10, progressing milestone-based from there until Lv. 20. Most campaigns fizzle out by 10, so this can be a great opportunity to experience high-level D&D to the fullest! Also, for those curious - previously used characters and minimal homebrew may be permitted pending discussion and approval through me. The adventure will start in the Forgotten Realms but characters can come from any dnd-relevant universe.

What to expect
Preparing for the session

Webcam, mic, and good Internet connection appreciated. Discord and free DnDBeyond account necessary. Characters and a perfect understanding of the rules do not need to be acquired before session 0.

What Humberto brings to the table

I have years of experience as a GM (including high-level D&D), writer, and game designer. I know what it takes to craft a good story and a fair game for all. Tech-wise I will bring my Premium DnDBeyond account with content-sharing enabled so that you all will get access to most published material in your character creation. We will also be able to use DnDBeyond's Maps (VTT) feature. All of this will come at no additional cost to you, only a free account is necessary. Community storytelling is my passion but so it playing a fun game so any and all players will be able to approach this as they'd like. Want to go full-thespian and have a deep backstory with a unique voice? Want to just lock in and craft the perfect killing machine as you mow down devils and undead? Any and all are welcome at my table. Most encounters in this adventure can be approached in different ways. If you can be clever, some conflicts can be resolved without bloodshed. But if you'd rather take the baddies out, a bit of tactics and teamwork can go a long way. I like to follow the rules as I can best recall them, but am not afraid to make a Rule-of-Cool call when the situation calls for it.

Safety
How Humberto creates a safe table

In our session 0 we will discuss character building, homebrew rules, expectations, dislaimers, set up our discord, join my DnDBeyond campaign, and I will send out the consent checklist via discord. Other matters such as scheduling and session length can also be discussed if necessary.
