About the adventure

Your characters are all enjoying day out on a tropical beach in the beautiful vacation destination of Palma Flora. There's sun, drinks, beach games and more. When suddenly, an earthquake shakes the beach and abominations begin to rise from the sea... This is a beginner-friendly short-campaign from 'Explorer's Guide to Wildmount'. This campaign should take approximately 3-5 sessions. In this campaign, you'll encounter: - ⛵ship chases - 🦜pirates - 🦈abominations - ❔moral choices This is an adventure that takes your characters from 1st to 3rd level. It introduces you to the Menagerie Coast—a tropical region filled with monstrous abominations, mysterious curses, and ancient temples. (Please note - this is a nautical adventure and includes sharks and sharklike creatures). "A cool breeze drifts across Flora Isle, mingling the sweet scent of flowers with the salty tang of the Lucidian Ocean. Well-tanned locals play on the beach, while sunburned visitors sit in wicker chairs and sip cold drinks. A half-dozen nearly naked shark hunters preparing to compete in the annual tournament stand in the shallows on the south shore, armed with harpoons and their wits."

Stevie is a great GM with lots of experience. He works hard to make people feel comfortable at the table and always has great LGBTQIA+ representation in his games. If you get the chance to play with him, I recommend you do so.

I am always in awe of Stevie's dedication and the amount of effort he put in the preparation of each session, carrying all the minis and the paraphernalia in order to bring an immersive and exciting world for the players to enjoy and participate in the storytelling. I feel respected in my gameplay and always had incredible fun in our sessions.

Stevie is great. When I started a campaign with Stevie, I was relatively green at DnD, Stevie was very supportive and made time to catch up to finesse my character. Stevie provides a safe and inclusive environment for all players at the table. Before the campaign started we were all provided with information about the campaign setting and history. Story wise, there a great opportunities to utilise you spell book and some very tense moments as monster hit hard. Stevie also has a fantastic sense of humour and bounces off the vibe at the table creating some very memorable character moments.
