Nightfall: Rise Above Madness as an Ancient Darkness Awakens!
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
A new star appears in the sky, and the lands stir in uneasy response. Does it portend ill fortune or good? Is it a long-absent god returning from distant voyages? A beast of the void made manifest? What dormant powers within the kingdom have begun to move at its coming? Join this campaign to uncover ancient lore, battle against deadly foes, and forge your character's legend! This campaign will run using the most up-to-date Dungeons & Dragons 5.5e rules and the world is pliable enough to welcome player input during character creation. Bring your ideas to the table and let's build an epic story together! / LGBTQ+ FRIENDLY / POC SAFE-SPACE / ALL GENDERS WELCOME / +18 /

How to prepare
You will need: -Discord account (free!) -DNDBeyond account (also free!) -Working microphone -Headphones/Earphones (ideally also working) -Webcam is encouraged, but not required! I also encourage anyone interested in this game to think about their characters beforehand! You don't need to have a character fully created, but consider: Who are they? Why are they an adventurer? Where are they from? What goals do they have? I'll be happy to work with you to make your backgrounds fit in the world so you can truly bring your character to life. You may reach out to me with questions at any time once you've signed up!
What I provide
I will provide all relevant materials needed to play! This includes access to source books on D&D Beyond or as homemade handouts, and gameplay will be enhanced with maps, ambient sound and music, and character voices. Note: I am not a voice actor! What I bring to the table: -25 years of experience as a DM! -DNDBeyond Shared Resources -Custom-made Maps and Battlemaps (Wonderdraft, Dungeondraft) -Plenty of lore and world to uncover! -Lots of encouragement towards exploring your unique narrative within the large group, and connecting your story threads with others!
Gameplay details
As previously stated, my table will be a safe place for everyone to engage in expressive and creative gameplay. Bigotry or harassment in any form is not tolerated. Please be respectful to one another! Players who prove themselves to be incapable of this will be removed. I believe strongly in integrated gameplay and collaborative worldbuilding, but first and foremost: this is a game, and therefore it should be fun! I accommodate varied gameplay preferences with a satisfying blend of roleplay, combat, and puzzle-solving.

How will character creation work
Character creation will take place in Session 0 and players will begin the adventure at level one. We will be using D&D 5e rules, but whatever 2024 materials are currently available will override the 2014 sources. Please limit character race, class, and background selection to what's currently available in the Player's Handbook 2024, which I will be sharing access to through DNDBeyond!
