About the adventure
Hear that? The solemn notes of a lone fiddle followed by the bellowing sound of a train whistle means you possess a one-way ticket into the unknown. Those sounds herald the arrival of the Ghostlight Express. It only stills and quiets for a transient moment before it lurches forward once more into its eternal voyage between life and death, so hop aboard. The Ghostlight Express is more than a mere vessel. It is a living, breathing entity offering its departed passengers their final journey to life after death. For many, this trip is their last fleeting taste of civilization before being plunged into the terror of what waits beyond the reach of both the hallowed and profane. Now accepting new players for an epic 2024 DnD 5th Edition campaign! I run a balanced game with a focus on immersive storytelling, tactical combat, and collaborative roleplay. I enjoy bringing the world to life with character voices and vivid descriptions, and I encourage creativity and bold action. Whether you're a seasoned player or new to DnD, this campaign will challenge and reward your party as you descend into one of the most legendary stories in all of the realm.

About me
Welcome, Adventurers! Thanks for taking a look at my adventures! I'm an experienced DM/GM with over 40 years of playing and running games under my belt. I absolutely love tabletop RPGs, and there's nothing I enjoy more than sharing that love by crafting unforgettable sessions. Dungeons & Dragons is a favorite of mine, and I bring that passion to every table I run. My goal is always to make the story leap off the page and help players fully immerse themselves in the world around them. While I respect the rules, the characters and story will always come first. It’s about having fun, sharing laughs, and letting the dice help tell the tale. Roll a natural 20? Expect something magical. Roll a 1? Well… it’ll still be magical, but probably not in the way you hoped. 😁 I'm especially passionate about helping new players find their footing, learn to roleplay, and get the most out of their game time. Not seeing the system you love? Just ask, I’m always open to new worlds and adventures. So jump on board and let me take you on a fantastic journey. Oh and don’t forget the snacks! I can’t wait to see you at the table.

Creating your character
The character creation will need to be completed before the first session full help is offered for this as soon as you sign up. I can go through the process with you if needed. Characters created on D&D Beyond.
Players are invited to join at any point in the adventure as there is lots of scope to bring in new characters to the story. Roll for Stats in Discord using Avrae (roll four sets of 4d6 dice, drop the lowest die from each set) or use Standard Array (15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8). We use Milestone leveling, so you don't have to track XP. You are heroes, here to save the day. Please don't make overpowered or homebrew characters, evil characters, or races and classes from other worlds than the one we’re playing in. No player vs player violence or stealing from the party members. 2024 rules.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You will need a working microphone and its optional to use a webcam. Access to Owlbear Rodeo this is a free to use virtual table top I use for combat scenes and mapping. An account with D&D Beyond to build a character i provide a link to the campaign on Discord.
What Bo brings to the table
My DM/GM style will bring the story to life for you. I follow more the rule of cool when it comes to the game with tactical combat situations and all dice rolls against you will be seen, no fudging of rolling. We will use the Virtual table top (VTT) Owlbear Rodeo which will have all of the maps for you to play along on as well I use custom made tokens for monsters and your character. We will use D&D Beyond for character creation and character sheets this is then linked to my Discord server so you can check spells, action details and see dice rolls live in the game. You only need to sit back relax and your off on an adventure. Oh and 'Don't forget your snacks.'
Homebrew rules
Drinking a potion as a bonus action, Modified Critical Hits, Death Saves get more difficult as you go down.

How Bo creates a safe table
If you wish to talk to me about the content before hand please contact me first. Players can expect an action packed game with lots of theatre of the mind and use of Owlbear Rodeo as a visual tool to assist combat and dungeon mapping. The game is a live game played on Discord and uses Owlbear Rodeo for VTT with D&D Beyond for character sheets.
