Strixhaven University

Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign

About the adventure

The finest years of our lives. That's what all of our parents said University would be like. Although we never expected to be weaving spells as well as weaving through our social lives. Well I guess that's Strixhaven for you. Hey potential players! My name is David and I will be your Dungeon Master for this campaign of Strixhaven: A Curriculum of Chaos within the setting of the Forgotten Realms! I will be using the rules of Dungeons and Dragons 2024 edition unless the party wishes to stick with good ole 5th edition.

David is a great DM. His narration style is engaging, and his NPCs are fun and memorable. He ensures each player character has their time to shine. He is also just a kind person and pleasant to be around.

David was friendly, professional and inclusive. He made me feel very comfortable for my first session and made sure I had plenty of opportunity to speak and act. His use of sounds, VTT and voices created an atmosphere that made me feel like I was in the game. Super excited for future sessions with David.

Good at working with players to help them achieve their goals in campaign without just letting them do whatever they want and incorporating elements of PCs into the story.

Amazing with details that you get so entrance that you believe you're actually there! Also fair with encounters!

Additional details

How to prepare

What to Have Discord, headphones, and a working mic! I use Above VTT for my digital table top so the browser extension will be needed to play the game proper. A first level character with background equipment and an uncommon magical item as long as it isn't a campaign specific item (unless of course it's Strixhaven in this case)!

What I provide

What I Bring to the Table Primarily I will bring a story altered to immerse you and your characters with an array of background music, digital maps, character voices, and plenty of knowledge of the game but a love for doing cool stuff! What to Have Discord, headphones, and a working mic! I use Above VTT for my digital table top so the browser extension will be needed to play the game proper. Rules of the Table NO ISMS: Something I will absolutely not tolerate is isms of any kind. If there is any you will be asked to leave the game and kicked from the server. Encourage other players: It's not fun to down others as they play. Be Mindful: Just as you encourage don't be overzelous! Everyone has a comfort zone and we want to have fun not make anyone uncomfortable at the table. Have fun: Above all else this is a game to enjoy. While I do hope to make it a fun ride I want it to be a collective bus of fun! My DM Style I do my best to do a blend of rule of cool and sticking to the rules. I encourage roleplaying to immerse yourself and others into the story, but it is not necessary! Though I do have a couple of table rules to note: Flanking: While I do allow flanking there is a slight adjustment. Rather than advantage I give a numerical buff to the roll. 2 people flanking is a +2 to the roll and 3 or more is a +5 to the roll. AC Reseilince: AC is important which is why for this table rule if an attack lands on your AC's numerical value all damage on an attack is halved! That's all from your friendly neighborhood DM! Hope to see you in the game!
