Tomb of Annihilation REVAMPED - Jungle Intrigue

Creating your character

Character creation is one of the best stages of the game because all the anticipation is there! Most classes, races, and backstories are welcome. Though I will help tailor your character to align with the campaign’s theme. The goal is to form the party and establish connections prior to session 0, ensuring a cohesive and dynamic table pact. I’ll also poll players to align campaign goals with your preferences. The adventure begins at level 1, with progression likely reaching levels 10–15. Throughout the campaign, you’ll encounter and shape the world with custom NPCs, locations, items, spells, and abilities—whether requested, discovered, or earned.

Preparing for the session

You'll need a microphone. I work with players of all experience levels. I recommend creating it in D&D Beyond so that you can plug it into the Discord server. The games are always streamed via Discord.

What DM Jon! brings to the table

This game is content-rich and designed to engage players both during and between sessions. We’ll co-create character portraits and backstories to maintain a consistent artistic theme throughout the campaign. A private Discord server dedicated to the campaign allows for text-based intrigue, roleplay, and dice rolls between sessions. I stay actively involved throughout the week, typically responding the same day, and I’m happy to explore character arcs—solo or co-op. With hundreds of custom maps, NPCs, items, and scenarios tailored to your choices, dice rolls, and objectives, the world feels alive and personal. Beyond XP and loot, the party shares a pool of power dice to inspire teamwork and group cohesion, shaping your journey through diplomacy, espionage, and large-scale battles. Each session begins with a recap of between-session events, tying personal vignettes into the overarching narrative. Sessions feature unique hooks and climaxes, blending dungeon exploration, puzzles, combat, and dynamic roleplay, with the freedom to influence the world’s fate. I aim for 60% Rule of Cool and 40% Rules as Written, with homebrew mechanics, spells, and minigames tailored to player goals and the group’s preferred genre. Sessions run via 4K screen share on Discord, featuring Baldur’s Gate-style portraits with dynamic health bars. I will generally display vivid imagery while voice acting characters/challenges for you to engage with. I use VTT for dungeon exploration, fog of war, and combat. Dice rolls can be virtual or physical as preferred by each player. I welcome veteran players to assist with rulings or logistics. Though remember the goal is to support and entertain each other.

How DM Jon! creates a safe table

Compassion, friendship, care. I can facilitate 1:1 or group discussions as appropriate.
