About the adventure
Welcome to a great adventure designed for both new and veteran players. This is one of the highest rated D&D campaigns and one of my favorites to run. It is filled with interesting NPCs, tons of places to explore, and fantastic combat settings that make this such a memorable adventure. To "add" to this experience, this campaign will be customized to continue on into an additional campaign such as "Tyranny of Dragons", "Shattered Obelisk", "Curse of Strahd" etc based upon the groups decision. This basically blends two epic campaigns into one! This will allow you to have a customized experience to advance your character through much higher levels and experience the broader world of the Sword Coast. If you are new to D&D then please don't hesitate to join this game, and if you are a long time adventurer then I promise you will enjoy this campaign.

About me
Hello adventurers! Are you searching for a Dungeon Master who thrives on crafting immersive experiences and bringing epic stories to life? Look no further! I’m a passionate Dungeons & Dragons Game Master with a deep love for creating dynamic, story-rich campaigns that captivate and challenge players. With experience as both a player and a Dungeon Master, I have a unique perspective that allows me to understand and balance the excitement from both sides of the screen. I excel at designing creative combat scenarios and intricate campaigns that provide ample opportunities for players to develop their characters and explore a richly detailed world. One of my favorite aspects of being a Game Master is introducing new players to the magic of D&D. Whether you're new to the game or just looking to try something different, I specialize in running “introductory campaigns” and one-shots that give you a taste of everything D&D has to offer. These sessions are designed to be both engaging and educational, ensuring a memorable and enjoyable experience for newcomers. Over the last 5 years I have leaned more into utilizing Roll20 as my primary platform....even with in person sessions. By combining Roll20 and Discord I love all of the immersive features from dynamic lighting and custom maps to interactive tokens and themed music. I use every tool at my disposal to create a fully immersive environment. My goal is to make every session not just a game, but a vivid adventure that you won’t soon forget. If you’re ready to embark on an unforgettable journey filled with epic battles, intriguing characters, and compelling storylines, I’d love to be your Game Master. Let’s make some magic together! 🎲 New to D&D? I put together a free beginner's guide just for you — no experience needed. Download it here: https://leoben-guide.tiiny.site
View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
We will have a free session zero to give the group a chance to prepare for the campaign. Often players get ideas for their characters during this session, but you are welcome to come with a character already in mind. All published content is allowed for character creation with regard to race and class, and the group will decide if they prefer the 2014 or 2024 format.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players should have a computer with decent connection and a mic they can use with Discord. Webcam can be optional if players wish to use video. You will also need an account on Roll20 and Discord. Chronica is also an option for the campaign if the party wishes to use it.
What Leoben brings to the table
I love to add as much as I can to make the experience as immersive and fun as possible. I have a pro subscription on Roll20 which allows me to use dynamic lighting, custom scripts, thematic music and sounds, macros, and share my extensive purchased resources with players. I also make and add my own custom tokens, maps, and additional content to further enhance the game. I have also started using Chronica, which is like a "wiki page" where players can track everything related to the campaign. This helps everyone track the whole experience and have a quick resource to use to access information from their sessions, and is available if the party likes it and wants to use it.
Homebrew rules
I go over all homebrew rules in our Session Zero and allow the group to decide which ones they want to keep and which to discard.

How Leoben creates a safe table
Players can expect a game without any extreme content. We will go over any sensitive content for players during a session zero, and I also provide breaks and opportunities for players to message me any concerns they may have on any given topic.
