Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
Campaign Welcome to the 103rd Doom Platoon, a clandestine unit of outcasts and last resorts in a losing war. In this campaign, you'll join a small military unit, undertaking high-risk missions, deep in hostile territory. Each mission acts as a mini-campaign. Missions will involve guerrilla warfare, espionage, sabotage, and other special operations. Between missions, players interact with a war map, affecting the map/larger conflict. The campaign combines colonial warfare with fantasy. Players start with Firearm proficiency. Starting equipment will be per mission, increasing in quality/quantity over time, with expanded weapons and tools. Setting Set in the world of Aelindor, you'll fight for the United Territories: an unlikely alliance of humans and orcs, against the overwhelming Elven Empire. As the war rages on, other species get dragged into the fray. The united territories face subjugation and annihilation as the elven empire draws closer to victory. Low Magic Though all classes are allowed, spellcasting is banned. Magic abilities and features will still be used. Join Join the ranks of Doom Platoon. The fate of nations hangs in the balance, and your next mission awaits.
Game style
Theater of the Mind
“Theater of the Mind” uses little to no visuals for scene settings and combat. Instead, the narrative imagery comes from the Game Master’s descriptions and character action and movement comes from Players’ descriptions.
