About the adventure

🗡️Live game open to all experience levels. Beginners welcome!! 🗡️Face a dark reality, and try to restore hope to the Forgotten Realms! 🗡️Player creativity encouraged! 🗡️Inclusive table to all! 🗡️A Discord server to connect with and share with your fellow players! Imagine a world where Tiamat was summoned successfully. Where the Princes of Elemental Evil tread unfettered. Where Demogorgon prowls the Underdark with the Wand of Orcus, leaving an army of undead in his wake. Where the storm giants have been cast to the bottom of the Ordning. Where Baldur's Gate has been banished to the Nine Hells. . . . Imagine a world where good has lost and evil prevailed. The Sword Coast has been divvied up by the Zhentarim, the mountain giants of Grudd Haug, the Cult of the Dragon, and many other sinister factions. But above them all looms the Archlich Vecna, who has orchestrated or exploited a series of ever-escalating calamities to conquer the very Realms themselves. Will your players rise to the challenge? Or, will they too, fall before the might of Vecna?

About me

I have been running games for kids for the past six years. I have run over 300 hundred games to over 500 students over that time period. I have specifically run several games for kids who are neurodiverse. I am even on a platform specifically for neurodiverse kids and their educational needs running D&D games I have designed. I specialize in creative; role play heavy games that are inclusive to all. I have also given interviews and written blog pieces on the benefits of running games for kids and adults alike. Especially for those who are neuro diverse. Here is an interview I did that gives insight into my DM style. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XoqSM3P9NZA&t=764s On SPG I run several horror themed games for adults. Many set in the Grim Hollow setting. I will happily run games for younger players upon request. I also run a server with my husband, also a DM on SPG (https://startplaying.games/gm/cuddlemonkey). https://discord.gg/meganandthemonkey I firmly believe in player agency and just having fun. My games are filled with laughter, intense battles and stories that connect the players. Beyond this I am a mom to four and a proud nerd. I provide games for adults, kids, and families as a whole. I look forward to creating a World for you to play in.

Super fun and creative GM, leans into the Creepy/Horror settings. But I've never laughed harder or had more fun playing DND. The whiplash between the two moods makes for great role play opportunities. They are super a kind and helpful for new and old players alike.

Megan is an expert Gm who can cater to players with any range of experience. Her games are full of action packed combat and heartfelt roleplay. There’s something for everyone in her campaigns, I highly recommend giving her a shot.

I can honestly say Megan is one of the best DMs I've had the honor of playing with. The games are tons of fun and she has been a great inspiration for my own games. The RP that she offers is some of the best and she leaves tons of room for unique characters and ideas. I would encourage anyone who hasn't to play at least one game with her.

Character creation
Creating your character

Character creation will happen in the Discord server. All official material is fair game. All I ask is two things: 1. Clear any homebrew with me before you commit to it. 2. Let me know your backstory, so I can work it into the campaign. 3. I use a modified standard array of 17, 16, 15, 13, 11, 9. 4. Level 1 starting feat and one uncommon magic items. If anyone has any questions about building characters, I can always be reached through either SPG or Discord.

What to expect
Preparing for the session

You will need a working mic, and the ability to run roll20. I use the Beyond20 app, that allows you to roll from you DnD Beyond character sheet straight to roll20. It's free and easy to install.

What Megan Hardy brings to the table

I will provide access to my DnD Beyond account. I have all the source materials available, as well as custom homebrew creations players might request. I will also provide all visuals needed.

Homebrew rules

Flanking is a +2 to hit.
