About the adventure

Welcome to the Dangerous Underground Network Guild for Evaluating Obnoxious and Nasty-traps! As our newest member, your task is simple: infiltrate lairs, cursed castles, abandoned keeps—anywhere laden with deadly traps and malicious contraptions designed to “discourage” pesky adventurers. “Why would anyone do this?” you ask? Excellent question! As a part of this definitely-not-haunted organization, you’ll ensure our clients’ lairs remain obnoxiously deadly, deterring unwanted guests from disturbing their “private business.” From doomsday cults to misunderstood necromancers, you’ll be their last line of defense. So, grab your courage and maybe a couple of healing potions, because at D.U.N.G.E.O.N.T, we don’t just test traps—we survive them! Join our ranks today, and receive a signing bonus of one soul coin (non-refundable upon spontaneous demise). Seats are limited, so claim yours now, you devious little fiend!

About me

Hello there! (Gral. Grievous meme) I'm Martin and I've been a Game Master for 10 years now, 1 of them as a full time GM 🥳! Welcome to my table, adventurer! Here, your boldest fantasies shape an ever-evolving world, and every choice echoes through the ages. With 14 years of GM experience across narrative and tactical TTRPGs, I’m here to bring your characters to life through deep storytelling and help craft unique backstories that interlace with a high-fantasy realm tailored to your party’s tale. Your character’s actions can even alter the lore for future heroes to uncover. As we dive into rich roleplay and cinematic combat, you’ll see that scenarios are more than dice rolls—they’re chances to bring your character’s power and unique style to life, creating epic, memorable scenes. To deepen your immersion, I use Foundry VTT for maps, lore journals, and AI-generated NPC images, while Talespire enhances encounters with finely crafted 3D maps. Paired with a hand-picked soundtrack that adapts to each scene, these tools turn every moment into a full adventure. Whether you’re new or seasoned, let’s explore and create legends that leave us all wanting “just ten more minutes.”

Wonderful DM he definitely embraces the rule of cool. It was my first time playing using roll20 sheets and talespire. He was very patient and was more than happy to explain when I couldn't find something. I will definitely be keeping an eye out for more of his one-shots and if he was running a campaign at a time that I was avalible I would jump at the chance to join. *update I am now in a long term campaign with Martin as my DM I am no longer a dnd newbie I can honestly say he a fantastic. I look forward to many more years of playing with him.

Martin is a very prolific and enthusiastic DM that always comes up with new ideas and invests a lot of time in his game and players. I've hardly ever felt my character to be a coherent part of a well-thought setting like I do in Martin's game. A couple sessions in and we already had some super memorable roleplay moments. Comes recommended in my book for sure!

Martin is a great storyteller & game master. He is very open to creativity and is extremely helpful with his experience of the game. Martin's campaign was my very first DND experience(ongoing) and being a noob was no problem, he was very patient and encouraging. Having him as your game master, you will surely have a blast!

Martin is a great storyteller and great for beginners like me. He is attentive and allows for player creativity. Adopting the "yes and..." rule, he creates a fun environment where one can be comfortable playing the game with strangers. He prepares an immersive world one can get lost in lore and creating unique character. Overall, I enjoyed the game so much and am willing to participate in further games with Martin.

He improvised in a character backstory detail that made for a very nice ending.

Character creation
Creating your character

You can play a pre-generated character, or create your own character of 12th level with the following parameters: - Use the standard array - If you are using 2014 races, gain a free feature at first level. - All races will be monstrous, ranging from goblins, centaurs, minotaurs, kobolds, dhapirs and reborns, to anything that wouldn't normally be spotted in a human settlement. - Any class is welcome, don't worry about confirming homebrew, they'll be approved as long as they are fare to others. - Choose any common equipment that'd make sense for your character to have in the context of the game. - 2 Common and 1 Uncommon consumable (potions, elixirs, oils, etc) - 1 uncommon wondrous item (Rings / Boots / Cloak / etc) As part of the character creation, do come up with a reason as to why your character would be hired as a minimum wage "professional break in-er". Character sheets will be hosted in foundry VTT, but can also be hosted in DDB or any other format. There's no need to check in with me for any homebrew or item as long as you share your character sheet at least 10 minutes before the game. I'll share the link to Foundry VTT the day of the game.

Safety
How Martin (The Fate weaver) creates a safe table

This will be a lvl 3 adventure with very high chances of "accidents", but worry not, for the characters will get back to the starting point of the dungeon and keep going until they've completed their inspection of the dungeon. If any situation that requires safety tools comes up, we'll just fade the scene to black, and resume from the closest checkpoint. Comedy, puzzles, combat, and the occasional friendly fire will all take place in this 3 hour adventure, be sure to bring your inner chaos goblin and improvise to your heart content.
