D&D Rise of Vecna: Eve of Ruin Thursdays (Beginner Friendly)

Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign

About the adventure

Start your own Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition Adventure Path! Individual players welcome. No experience necessary. The Dragon Queen has risen. The Storm Giant King is dead. Demon Lords control the Underdark. An Arch-Devil rules over the city of Baldur's Gate. The Frostmaiden has frozen the North. Vecna rules over all and the fate of the multiverse hangs in the balance! Create a hero to take the battle to the enemy: an Elf Ranger, a Tiefling Rogue, a Dwarf Cleric, a Human Wizard or maybe a Dragonborn Paladin. Arm yourself and join the fight! In this online campaign, you will save your world from the Darkest Timeline, and travel to strange new worlds: Sigil, Eberron, Ravenloft, Krynn, and Greyhawk! The adventure will take a party of heroes from 1st to 20th level!

Scott is an excellent DM. He’s always prepared for sessions and runs a very well organized onboarding process through discord and his preferred VTT Fantasy Grounds. Whether you’re new to D&D or a seasoned pro he’s got years of experience and is sincerely committed to creating a fun and engaging gaming experience. Couldn’t recommend him enough!

Scott is very professional and organized. I joined one of his one-shots and was pleasantly surprised to find that all the communication before hand led to immediate gameplay once the session started. He was very patient with me as a novice to the platform he was using. Scott keeps the game moving at a lightning pace but allows for player creativity. I will play with Scott again!

Scott’s effortless DMing style will drag you into the world and the story without you even noticing. The technical aspects of the game, such as maps and sound, speak for themselves. If, as they say, the devil is in the details, then Scott is the equivalent of Asmodeus. Don’t miss the chance to enjoy one of his games!

Scott clearly spends a ton of time preparing for each session. The story telling is a lot of fun and he does a great job setting the mood. Yet despite the clear amount of preparation, he allows creativity and rolls with ideas that no one expected. I wish I could give examples, but Scott creates such intricate stories that even setting the background would make this review a novel. But I will say, the room for creativity is not just in the role playing elements, but also in combat. I joined an ongoing campaign and Scott immediately integrated me (and my character) into the campaign and I basically immediately felt like a true member of a group that has been going for quite a while. Thank you Scott!

My experience was great! The storytelling and creativity, the patience at explaining things and walking me through it made for a fantastic first experience with DnD.
