About the adventure
Join the Immolating Wizard Festival – A D&D 5e One-Shot Adventure! Enter the wildest magical festival of the century, the Immolating Wizard Festival! This surreal event in the scorching Eternas Arena is a spectacle of arcane artistry, bizarre magical displays, and endless revelry. Immolating Wizard is Burning Man with a magical twist—massive, animated art installations, eccentric NPCs, enchanted music, and the most mind-bending festival games in all of Ezra. Led by the powerful and enigmatic Technomancer, Tonitus Ezephree (TonEz), the festival promises thrills, bizarre encounters, and magical mayhem. But beneath the fun lies a mystery. Festival-goers are disappearing, enchanted crystal tablets called Crystabs are pulling attendees into mesmerizing illusions, and rumors swirl about TonEz’s dark agenda. What to Expect: Explore a Chaotic, Magical Festival: From paper dragon fights in sandstorms to giant pinwheels singing Orcish drinking songs. Meet Eccentric NPCs: Mingle with flamboyant bards, fire-loving dwarves, and mystical fortune-tellers. Test Your Skills: Take on quirky festival games or join the various competitions to win enchanted trinkets. Mystery & Intrigue: As the festival goes on, something dark stirs beneath the festivities. Whether you’re here for a one-time experience or want to dive into the full series of one-shots, the Immolating Wizard Festival is the perfect chance to revel in the weird, the magical, and the unexpected. Come for the magic, stay for the mayhem!

Just played a one shot with them and it was fantastic! They set the scene perfectly, kept things relaxed and fun, and had a great sense of humor. What I really appreciated was how they gave each player the chance to shine and be themselves. It was a perfect balance of engaging and silly, and I had a blast. I mentioned that I loved puzzles and riddles at the beginning of the one shot and they worked one in for us. Very safe, welcoming and inclusive table. Highly recommend!

Nug is awesome! Very communicative, friendly, and down to work with you on homebrew. I've loved all of the games I've played with him so far, and I intend to be a regular to his games for a long time.

Some of the best campaigns and one shots I have ever played. He is very creative, rewards his players as much as he punishes them. Very imagination oriented, a lot of homebrew, remember to think out of the box.

I joined one of Nugs one-shot campaigns and it was a lot of fun. It was my first DnD campaign and i felt very included. He along with the rest of the table was very patient with me which was helpful and allowed my creativity to flow. The campaign itself was fun. It had its challenging moments but wasnt too hard that made it feel overwhelming. Definitely would recommend Nug to new players and even vets if they want to join a campaign that likes to have fun.

DM Nug Gnome is a fantastic DM who brings a lot of creativity and energy to the table. His storytelling is immersive, and he does a great job of keeping players engaged with dynamic encounters and interesting NPCs. He allows players to make meaningful choices and adjusts the world accordingly. He also fosters a welcoming atmosphere, making sure everyone has a chance to contribute to the story. DM Nug Gnome is a great choice.

Oh my gosh he is such a creative dm. I love how many impressions he can do and he does all the voices for every single character. He made it so engaging. I have only played one game with him but I will definitely play more with him he is amazing. He is really cool and makes the game easy for everyone.

How to prepare
I will have some premade characters for anyone that just wants to hop in. A dndbeyond account is necessary, as well as Discord. A familiarity with 5e rules is great but in no way required. I LOVE HAVING NEW PLAYERS AT MY TABLES.
What I provide
Things I bring to the table: Original and fun content! Custom maps, virtually all D&D Beyond content, VTT, intense and intriguing combat, unique, in-depth roleplay, sound effects, custom items / races, and character voices. I'm a "Rule of Cool" Sandbox DM, I like to set up the world and tell the story cooperatively with my players. People having fun is my number one priority!

How will character creation work
Characters should be level 12, roll 4d6 and drop the lowest die for stats, rerolling ALL 1's. I have virtually no restrictions on character building. I love and encourage unique PC ideas. I had a player who was a sentient, haunted amulet, worn by a goose & it still makes my players laugh to talk about.
