Shadows of the Lich Queen | 1-20 Campaign | 2024 Rules

Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign

About the adventure

Come ye to the Fractured Reach. It's been two millennia since the vile Lich Queen, Nhacra, was vanquished in an epic battle that scarred the land and pushed monsters to the very periphery of the known world. Since then the three nations that call the Fractured Reach home have flourished in this fertile and abundant realm. Now accounts of increased monster activity are being reported. Grab thy sword and focus, the time of high adventure is nigh. In my custom world the collaborative story we tell revolves around you. Your choices, backstories, and wishes propel the story forward. The setting is an immersive high fantasy sandbox for your TTRPG thrills. I'm a full-time professional DM that's run more than 250 online sessions (StartPlaying and Discord) and has 2,000+ hours on Roll20. I have a near 90% retention rate with players that join my campaigns. Beginner Friendly! Built for new players and veterans alike, your GM is a passionate teacher and storyteller. Pre-generated characters are available to you if you just want to jump into the action. A custom setting awaits your indulgences and ideas. Using Dungeons and Dragons 2024 rules, we'll craft a collaborative story that shall echo through the ages. You Can Expect: • Role-playing galore - memorable NPCs and inter-party role-playing throughout • True open world - where you go, what you do, and your choices shape the world and future adventures • Tense combat - requiring players to work together and strategize • Captivating downtime - text based solo adventures between sessions • A vibrant world to explore - including mega-cities you can get lost in and never leave • Fun and Games - interested in chariot races, battle of the bards, and colosseum matches anyone? • Intrigue - politics, detective work, betrayal, lost knowledge are all featured If you'd like to have fun, laugh, cry, gasp, scream, and shout out, "Argh!" then sign up today! If for any reason you don't enjoy the game, I'll refund your session fee no questions asked.

Part of our Session 0 will involve going over lines, veils, and other content that the table might wish to avoid or minimize. Dungeons and Dragons is meant to be an escape from the troubles of our daily lives. Above-table prejudices, including racism, misogyny, homophobia, and transphobia, are NOT acceptable at my table and will lead to your immediate removal.
