Marva's Downfall: Dungeons and Dragons 5e Homebrew Campaign

Marva's Downfall: Dungeons and Dragons 5e Homebrew Campaign

Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign

About the adventure

Do you enjoy heavy roleplay? Do you love dragons and castles and high fantasy? Are you looking for a safe space to explore creatively? Then this is the game for you! These are campaigns set in my homebrew world of Lortha, two of which are centered on the island continent of Nunderon. Siege of Dragons: It is 500 ADW on Nunderon and things have been messy for a while. The queen of Ardel has asked you to search for the dragons living in the mountain and report back. But after speaking to the dragons, you have realized that telling the queen they still live will start a war. Now you are trying to stall until the princess takes the throne in less than a year. You travel all over Nunderon, keeping the peace and saving people from peril. Marva's Downfall: On the Mainland of Lortha, in the city of Marva, tensions are high as the dragons residing in the mountain to the north have become a problem. Can you save the city and stop a war? Only time will tell. The Mountain's Atlas: On the Mainland of Lortha, you are exploring and travelling through The Grimmdark Mountains, working for a dragon who wishes to change the harsh and dangerous Mountains for the better. The Time Before: You are adventurers on Nunderon, trying to stop a handful of wars from breaking out under your noses. Dragons, Demon Queens, Gods, what else?

In my over 40 years of playing D&D I have had few (Including most of the Gygax family) game masters I'd recommend over Ash. Very fun, great non player characters, engaging combat, and laid back environment were all included in last night's game. The entire group of 6 players were all laughing and clapped at the end of the game session. Something, again, I haven't seen often in an in person game, let alone a remote session. Ash, keep up the great work, and I'll be around for a while!

I've had the privilege of playing in several TTRPG campaigns over the years, but none have compared to the experiences I've had with Ash. They are not just a good DM, they're a weaver of tales, conductor of chaos, and maestro of mystery. They're ability to adapt to any situation alongside profound passion and creativity makes every campaign with them a truly remarkable experience <3

Such a talented DM managing a larger group and making sure everyone is comfortable but still having an incredible time- and so creative the character/npcs they build are so amazing!!!

Ash is fantastic at making hometown games and running modules, as well as mixing and matching. They're able to help newer players get used to the rules of the game, or help experienced players try new classes. I've played multiple games that they've run in DnD andMonster of the Week, both of which have been so much fun, and have led to some hilarious stories.

Ash is my favorite GM I’ve played with! B. Dave Walter’s is a close second, and that should tell you something. Ash’s world building and character work is really immersive. With them, I’ve learned how narratively compelling failure and character death can be as well as the highs of success. I wouldn’t hesitate to book a game with them especially if it’s in their Nunderon setting.
