About the adventure

🍖 Dungeon of the Mad Mage: A Culinary Megadungeon Adventure 🍖 You're deep beneath Waterdeep. Supplies are running low. Something’s bubbling over the campfire, and it smells like cooked manticore. Welcome to Undermountain, the deadliest dungeon in Faerûn. It’s filled with monsters, magic, and madness. And you're going to eat all of it. This is Dungeon of the Mad Mage like you’ve never seen it before. Inspired by Delicious in Dungeon, this campaign turns the dungeon crawl into a survival cooking show from hell. Slay monsters, butcher them for magical ingredients, and cook powerful meals that might heal wounds, boost strength, or send your party into chaotic hallucinations. What you’ll experience: - A full megadungeon campaign with a creative twist - Crafting systems for harvesting monsters and cooking magical dishes - A balance of tactical combat, dungeon exploration, and food-driven strategy - Custom recipes, magical meals, and flavorful homebrew - A world that reacts to your culinary reputation as much as your blade You don’t need to be a food nerd to join. Just bring curiosity, humor, and an appetite for weird fantasy. All sessions are VTT-optimized with dynamic maps, tokens, and smooth online play. New and returning players are welcome. The dungeon is deadly. The meals are questionable. The only thing crazier than Halaster might be what you’re about to eat.

About me

Hello adventurers, my name's Ted and it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance! I've been a Dungeon Master for D&D 5E for the past 5 years. I started my professional full-time DM career on November of 2021 and I've been having a blast! I am Greek born and raised, which gives me the edge when I talk for the NPCs, they all have a natural Eastern European accent! Joking aside, I love D&D and I enjoy playing every single session. I am very passionate about the game and all my players have had a great time. I DM for most of the official modules from Wizards of the Coast. I can also pick up other books if a group requests them, but will need some time to prepare. I hope you consider me to be your Dungeon Master on your next epic adventure!

Ted being the DM to my first full campaign, he made a beginner feel at ease with not knowing every nitty gritty detail about 5E and feel welcome with just playing the game and being a part of a new adventure with people from all over the world I now call my friends. He's a master at making every player feel like they have their own story to tell, engaged and eager to find out "what's next?" From beginners to experienced dungeon delvers, you're making a good choice by picking Ted as your DM.

I played a CoS campaign with Ted and the party I played with (including myself) was so impressed with him that we immediately signed up for another that we are playing now. Ted is an awesome storyteller with a great knack for knowing when and when not to follow the rules. I would highly recommend him to anyone!

Anyone that tries out this DM will be glad they did! I have been extremely happy of this DM and have played in 3 campaigns with him! He a very well rounded in his style, and I've seen players of all skill levels enjoy the games. I was surprised with how much creativity he allowed in where the story went, and how we really encouraged authentic roleplay moments. The combats are usually complex and thrilling. Loot and rewards are plump and exciting! He is extremely fair in his calls, knowledgeable of the rules and software, and subtly encourages rich roleplay with some house rules. The games are completely worth the price because I know it will be a guaranteed great time. The most surprising thing was his interest in player feedback. He really liked checking in with everyone at the end, to see if anything needed adjusting. It is hard to give constructive feedback when the experience is this good.

Ted is an amazing DM who is experienced and capable of wearing many hats at once. He builds worlds and crafts characters to draw players in, creating moments of tension, danger, joy and excitement all while ensuring everyone feels safe and included in the game. The moment our games end I'm already looking forward to the next!

Character creation
Creating your character

Players will start from level 5 and progress to level 20 in the span of this campaign. Each player should have a general idea of what character they'd like to play and then we will make the concept a reality together. Characters will be created at Session 0. We will be following the new 2024 rules. Players are highly encouraged to pick a new subclass from the newest edition.

The current party

Brand new Dungeon of the Mad Mage campaign, with a Delicious twist! We will be using the D&D 2024 rules. The party composition is Druid, Wizard, Barbarian and Monk. The array that we rolled for is 18, 16, 16, 15, 14, 11 . The party is at the third stage of the Dungeon, the Sargauth Level! They are level 7.

What to expect
Preparing for the session

All players need to have a working mic and a stable internet connection. Webcam is not necessary but always appreciated (it's nice to see the faces of the people you're talking to). Everyone should have a basic understanding of the rules, of course they will be assisted if they don't remember something. Roll20 as well as Discord account are necessary. Finally, players will need a Syrinscape Online account where I will be streaming music and ambience sounds from.

What Ted brings to the table

I have a Pro account on Roll20, as well as all core rulebooks that I can share with my players. I am very proficient with scripts and macros on Roll20 that speed up combat a ton. Music and ambience will be streamed from Syrinscape Online Player.

How Ted creates a safe table

On Session 0 we will discuss the rulings we will follow ), introduce ourselves, decide on the party composition and go over the way the campaign works. We will roll for stats, but everyone will use the array we roll. If the rolls are bad we will go with point-buy/standard array for all. We will use the "X, N and O" cards on Roll20. Players can expect a fast paced and rules light gaming experience. This specific campaign is highly comedic at times.
