Whispers of the Lich King: Eve of Ruin
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
The world teeters on the edge of annihilation. For centuries, the name of Vecna has been whispered in the dark, his sinister influence seeping into the corners of history. Once thought to be nothing more than a myth—a cautionary tale for those who sought forbidden knowledge—Vecna is returning, and with him, the promise of ultimate destruction. The ancient lich’s followers have begun to stir, and strange, unnatural events ripple across the land. Secrets long buried are coming to light, and those who seek power are falling under his sway. The skies darken with portents, and the ground quakes as if anticipating the cataclysm that is soon to unfold. As the clock ticks toward the moment of Vecna’s return, the fabric of reality itself begins to fray. In a world on the brink of ruin, old alliances are tested, ancient evils awaken, and those who would stand against the Lich King must gather, for time is running out. The final battle for the fate of the realms is at hand—will you stand in the shadow of Vecna's dark hand, or will you fight alongside some of the most legendary heroes to prevent the destruction of the multiverse? The Eve of Ruin has arrived. THIS IS A CAMPAIGN STARTING OFF AT LEVEL 10 IN THE FORGOTTEN REALMS AND WILL RUN ALL THE WAY UNTIL LEVEL 20! GET READY FOR BATTLES OF EPIC PROPORTIONS!

How to prepare
You will need to have/bring: -A Microphone and Discord Downloaded -A DNDBeyond and a Roll20 account (They're both free) -Beyond20 Browser extension for Firefox or Chrome (Not necessary but makes stuff easier) -Your character, if you've decided to make it in advance -A Webcam (If you would like to use video, but this isn't required) -A Positive Attitude and a BIG Smile :D
What I provide
As your GM, I bring a variety of tools to each of my games. Aside from the typical stuff (Roll20, Discord and DNDBeyond), I also really enjoy bringing NPCs to life with different personalities and voices, as well as a constant ambient backtrack to make you really feel immersed in the world. When it comes to rulings, I like to read the table. If the table wants a hardcore RAW experience then we will stick to the rules as they were written, but if the table is looking to kick back and have fun then I'm totally here for it! Rules are only as fun as we at the table make them. Lastly, when you're playing at my table, pack extra smiles and be prepared to HAVE FUN!
Gameplay details
When it comes to player safety and comfort nothing is more important, which is why during every session zero I make sure to ask my players about their limits by doing a quick check in about each players triggers and Xs or Ns, letting them know any content warnings that may be present in the adventure and informing them about my open door, break and debrief policies. Players are also welcome at any time to either take breather or a break from the game, and at no point will they ever be asked to go into detail about ANYTHING they may not be comfortable with. Also, while the game is going on, if at any point a player needs content to stop immediately, they may hold up an X/N or type one in chat. This will allow me to make the necessary moves needed to make sure everyone continues to have a great time playing! Lastly, I am a huge believer in debriefing/aftercare. At the end of each session I will always hang around for anywhere between 15-30 minutes to chat about the session and to just generally hang out with anyone who wants to stick around! This is great for sessions where we may get into some heavier content so we can either discuss it or unpack it if need be! Remember, your comfort and your fun come first!
