About the adventure
D&D 2024 | Homebrew Greyhawk | Level 5 | New Players Welcome You don't need to know the rules. All I ask is for you to be willing to learn as we play! đ In the city of Greyhawk, the partyâs troubles began behind a wizardâs locked door and spiraled outward into something far darker. What they thought would be a simple search turned into a battle of wills and wits when a trusted servant revealed herself as a succubus, old contracts resurfaced, and a frozen chamber became a deadly arcane puzzle. Escaping with a corrupted journal, the party uncovered plans for a devastating summoning ritual anchored throughout the city and beyondâone that could unravel everything if left unchecked. Claiming the wizardâs abandoned home as their base, they chose a dangerous path: infiltrating the cult known as the Ebon Veil from the inside. After surviving a brutal initiation that ended in blood and deception beneath a tavern floor, they now walk a razorâs edge, posing as loyal agents while racing to dismantle powerful artifacts hidden in swamps, keeps, and forgotten placesânever quite certain whether they are manipulating the cult⊠or slowly becoming part of it. I use LegendKeeper to keep track of the campaign. Take a peek https://www.legendkeeper.com/app/cm7roug2o0kzb0jk6fdpb6fej

About me
Hey there, Iâm Brad. Welcome to my table! My games range from light-hearted and whimsical to deep, mysterious, and character-driven. Whether weâre laughing over a wild crit fail or unraveling a shadowy conspiracy, I focus on keeping the story engaging through plenty of âyes, andâŠâ moments. I love creating collaborative stories where every player feels seen and every choice matters. New to gaming? Youâre in great company. Weâll learn, explore, and level up together. A little about me: Iâm a U.S. Army Veteran and served with the 1st Infantry Division in Afghanistan. Those years taught me the power of teamwork, flexibility, and resilience. All of which show up in how I run my games. After my time in the military, my wife Amanda and I faced a tough chapter of our own. After going through an ectopic pregnancy, we channeled our energy into something joyful: starting The Scheming Cookie, where we handcraft creative, protein-packed treats that are as bold and sweet as the people we bake them for. Whether Iâm spinning tales or baking cookies, my goal is simple: to bring people together. So grab your dice (and maybe a cookie too), and letâs kick off an adventure worth remembering.
