About the adventure

Step into a world where every book holds a tale, and every tale unlocks a new adventure! Your mission is simple: gather the missing pieces of memory lost to time and rewrite the rumored Tome of Forgotten Memories. Working with your handler, one of the Avowed Priests of Denier, how many traps, scams, and horrors can you uncover as you face off against several legendary creatures? This ongoing campaign is designed to take characters from 3rd to 16th level and will be run for players of all experience levels. Expect your character's background to matter in our story and ample opportunities for roleplaying. Sign up today and let's make this campaign legendary! Art Credit: John Lathon

Game style

Roleplay Heavy

“Roleplay Heavy” games place the focus on the story, the characters, and the world they live within, and tend to lean hard into the various roleplaying elements of the game. These games will frequently find the party talking with NPCs, exploring the personal elements of their backstories, or even having emotional moments around the camp fire.

DM Ron is a seasoned veteran when it comes to role playing and setting the mood for gameplay. He's a talented storyteller that brings his games to life with mood and atmosphere. He's also an established teacher that's great for bringing in and mentoring beginner players, so they're able to effectively use the VTT to jump right into the adventure and make the most of the game from their very first session. To sum up my experience with DM Ron, he knows the game's rules, he knows the VTT tools, and he doesn't let either get in the way of getting to know his players, so they have an exciting night of gameplay that they'll be raving about and sharing with others again and again and again.

Ron is a kind and talented GM who makes sure everyone has an engaging and enjoyable time playing. He made it easy for us to jump into a game that half of our party had never played and the other half hadn't played in 40 years. Great job!

You will feel welcomed as a player! Ron also is so quick on his feet. I came up with a PC to NPC interaction on the fly and he rolled with it like a master. Allows players to breath and RP with eachother and NPCs which is a plus for me.

An absolutely phenomenal Dungeon Master! From the moment the session begins, the real world fades away, and we're fully immersed in the rich, living fantasy Ron creates. His guidance and example helped us embrace roleplaying, making every interaction feel natural and exciting. Happy to have found DM Ron and can't wait for our next session!

How will character creation work

Once a player has joined a campaign, I immediately invite them to the campaign Discord server and begin discuss the character they want to play. Often, the players' characters are created before the FREE session zero, but if not, we finalize characters at that time. I am very pro-player and have almost no restrictions when it comes to character creation.
