Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign

About the adventure

📖Learn to Play DnD step by step and join an epic campaign! Now in the 2024 DnD ruleset,📖 "Tom is a great GM. I am returning to D&D after many years away, and he has been very helpful and patient as I learn the 5e system. He is always willing to explain anything you are confused by. I have never felt like I was being guided down a path, and while I am sure that my group has surprised him at times with our choices, he seems to always be able to adjust on the fly and go with us down some crazy paths." - Matthew 🗺️Exploration of the UnderWorld🗺️ 🕵️A Mystery Unfolds, an evil returns 🕵️ 💜Protect the World💚 About the Story An ancient enemy returns. Not just content with taking over the UnderWorld, they want to control the topside World too. What drove the Drow to this? Why do their ambitions drive them to the surface world, far from their dark god? Is the recent upheaval in Exandria responsible for their new found plans? Or have these plans been festering for a long time? When the Drow attack the village of Rybalka where you're staying in, you will be asked the question: Will you stand against them or flee before their might? In this epic adventure set in Exandra you'll have to twart the evil plans of the Drow and their allies or let them conquer the surface world. This tale will take you from lv 1 to lv 15 (If you complete all the side quests to Lv 20) so strap yourself in for a longterm memorable campaign from 3rd party publisher AAW adapted to the world of Critical Role. Wheter you are beginner to D&D or a veteran, I'll happily help you along with character creation, learning the rules, learning Foundry and any other aspect of the game

Game style

Rule of Cool (RoC)

“Rule of Cool” emphasizes creative story beats over sticking to a system’s rules as written. Players have the ability to push the limits of the rules or even break core rule mechanics at times if the Game Master thinks it is interesting, fun, or cool enough.

Roleplay Heavy

“Roleplay Heavy” games place the focus on the story, the characters, and the world they live within, and tend to lean hard into the various roleplaying elements of the game. These games will frequently find the party talking with NPCs, exploring the personal elements of their backstories, or even having emotional moments around the camp fire.

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.

How will character creation work

🛡️Characters will begin at Level 1. 🛡️🛡️We'll use the point buy system or the roll system, this is up to the players. We decide this as a group on Session 0. 🛡️🛡️🛡️If this is your first campaign, I would recommend keeping your race, class, subclass & background choices to the playersguide manual. But should you want to play something from another official WoTc source, reach out to me and I'm sure I can accommodate. In addition, the Tome of Heroes book from Kobold press can be used. As will Kibbles Crafting Guide to replace the 'normal' crafting rules. Both books will be made available during game play sessions. 🛡️🛡️🛡️🛡️Homebrew idea's will have be submitted prior to game start or prior to session 0 and will be approved on case by case basis. No Legend and UA content is allowed. 🛡️🛡️🛡️🛡️🛡️Any additional concerns or questions, send me a private message.
