Eberron: Cutlass & Cantrip

Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign

About the adventure

Welcome to Eberron! In the aftermath of the Last War, the seas of Eberron are once again comparatively safe and ripe with opportunity. No region in the continent of Khorvaire boasts better sailors and sturdier fleets than the Lhazaar Principalities, a loose confederation of island-states ruled by a variety of Sea Princes -- all of whom maintain their authority by ship, sword, and spell. Perhaps you are a scion of seafaring merchants, or a wandering soul in search of a life of freedom, or a wanted fugitive evading the law -- regardless, the anarchy of the Principalities holds myriad chances for liberty, riches, and peril in equal measure. āš“ Join a crew and ship out for the plunder of the open seas! šŸŒŠ šŸ‰ Hunt treasure and sea monsters, or turn your vessel toward true piracy! ā˜ ļø ā›µ Evade the naval forces sent to hunt you down, or confront them blade to blade! āš”ļø šŸ’Ž Explore the mysteries of the isles and search for the lost troves of pirates who came before! šŸ“ā€ā˜ ļø

I didn't realize how narrative-oriented a campaign could be until I joined Jack's game. When players ad-lib, it's like he always has content custom-prepared just for exactly responding to anything they do.

A fantastic storyteller with an amazing flair for NPC vocals and engaging narration, Jack is an engaging GM who effortlessly balances the fun shenanigans with very important plot progression. I felt at ease coming to the table as a new-ish player, and greatly appreciated the encouragement and resources provided when it came to character creation. Jack runs a welcoming table and is a delightfully engrossing storyteller, he excels at ensuring every session is a blast!

Jack G. is a wonderful DM! So far, the game sessions have been focused on Storytelling / Role Playing / Exploring with Combat in places that make sense (not just random to be random or forced to fit in a formula, such as: ā€œX number per session regardless of whatā€™s happening!ā€). 1. Setting Knowledge We are playing in the Eberron Setting (5e.2024) and he understands the setting extremely well, to the point of providing small details that make our ā€œEberron: The Claws of Droaamā€ exciting to experience. 2. Rules Knowledge From what I can tell, he is well versed in the 5e (ā€˜14 & ā€˜24) rules, and works with the players so the whole Table understands them. 3. Tech Knowledge From what Iā€™ve experienced, he works well with Discord (audio & video), DNDBeyond, and Roll20. The minor issues that have popped up have been handled deftly and as quickly as possible so the story flows as smoothly as possible. 4. Table Environment A safe space for all who donā€™t harbor bigotry & hate. 5. Player Interactions He leans into what makes the game interesting for the players - backgrounds, play style, etc. He wants us to get as much fun & joy out of our sessions as possibleā€¦ all while building a strong story with us. He provides a table where we can create a wonderful & well developed story that can create great gaming memories for all.

Some of the best storytelling, world building, and care for characters and other npc's of DMs I've had. Truly passionate about DnD and it shows in the quality and pace of his games

Jack is a phenomenal storyteller, truly a master of his craft. His experience in running games shows in the way he is able to do multiple things at once at the table with ease, from juggling different character scenes, acting as multiple unique NPCs, to providing plot, and weaving in player character's backstories- ALL while remaining a considerate and communicative facilitator! I think one of his greatest strengths as a DM is being able to immerse players in a scene, he engages the 5 senses in many unique and inspiring ways! Join one of Jack's games RIGHT NOW, you'll be grateful you did!

By far one of the best GMs I've ever played with, the epitome of 'you get back what you give' in terms of investment, engagement, creativity, etc. I've rarely had the luxury of playing with someone who is as invested in my character's story as I am, and who goes the extra mile in making that story so intertwined into the wider story of the campaign.

Additional details

How to prepare

Webcam and mic will be required and players are encouraged to begin familiarizing themselves with the rules of play prior to Session 0. The game will be fully online and physical dice will not be used. All players will need an active free Roll20 account to access the game and to create their character sheets there. Players will also need to provide some sort of character art for their character token on the battlemap.

What I provide

Access to the Roll20 VTT, a D&DBeyond campaign entry, Eberron setting lore, and all the other ingredients of an immersive narrative will be provided. Digital resources like maps and tokens will be available for gameplay. I also offer a Discord text channel to facilitate group communications in addition to the video chat for game sessions!

Gameplay details

A Content & Consent Survey will be provided and must be completed before Session 0. Every game will have a break partway through and a debrief sequence to conclude. Players can expect a game with somewhat streamlined combat and plenty of social twists and turns. I utilize milestone experience at narratively-thematic moments for the players.

How will character creation work

Character concepts and party composition will be discussed on Discord prior to Session 0 as part of the preparation. The GM can assist with the character creation process as needed. Characters will begin at level 1 and use the point-buy or standard array method during creation. Players can either build their character in the Roll20 game or use the Beyond20 extension to use a D&DBeyond character sheet for gameplay.
