About the adventure
The Ordening is shattered, Giants who once lived in a delicate balance rage across Faerun as the races scramble for supremacy, crushing all underfoot. Can YOU restore the peace before it is too late and Faerun lies in ruins? For all ages and experiences starting at level 1, this epic campaign sees the players face giants from many different races with a good mix of mystery, combat, and lots of role-playing. Travel the length and breadth of Faerun, explore frozen glaciers and desert sand storms as you uncover who the real culprit is, and put an end to their schemes once and for all in a climactic finale with everything to win, or to lose. This game is very much a sandbox, there are many different routes the players can select to complete the quests and final goal. How they get there is up to YOU. Every player who has not played at one of my tables before gets their first session free to see if you like my style of DM'ing try before you buy!

About me
AS FEATURED ON CNN https://edition.cnn.com/videos/entertainment/2023/04/14/hollywood-entertainment-solo-dungeons--dragons-roleplaying-game-startplaying.cnn I started playing DnD in 1977 when elf and dwarf were classes, not races. 45 years as a play 44 as a DM More years live action role play than i care to admit Five years dark age re enactment 789AD to 1066AD saxon viking and norman steel weapon combat and living history displays I do not use a VTT. Instead I live stream a video of a physical tabletop with tokens instead. Whilst I do use some theatre of the mind there is a table top for the more tacticle groups. Since the various lockdowns playing face to face became difficult so I came here. I favour RP-heavy games with dynamic combat. In other words, unless the AC is really obscure and the goblin has a 20 dex I tend to tell my players the AC, after all when you see a 14 miss and a 15 hit the cat is out of the bag. By knowing the AC you know if you hit or miss and can describe what happens rather than I roll 15 you hit roll damage 6 points ok next person, you roll you know you hit you say I slash the goblin across the face for 6 points. Happy to DM groups from their first game to very advanced. I will be running a mix of new modules and some old classics with a little homebrew thrown in for good measure LBGTQ+ Friendly
View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
Characters start at level 1 using the points buy system so everyine has an even playing field to start with. They may be created tificer as I feel beforehand or in session 0. I am open to all classes races except warforged and artificer as I feel they are not appropriate fior this campaign. No evil characters, no PVP.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players will need a mic and webcam and dice, no prior knowledge is required but it does help.
What Darren brings to the table
I bring decades of experience running games character voices for some NPCs and an immersive role-playing session
