Orcus, the demon lord of undeath, has set his sights on twisting Impiltur into a testament to his unholy power.

About me
Hello Gamers, My name is Anthony, but everyone just calls me Tricky! I have been DM'ing for about 6 years on the 5e system, and in that time have run 500+ games for hundreds of players! I am a fun oriented DM with a solid understanding of the mechanical rules. I have tons of flexibility in play style ranging from intense, nail biting combat to fun and silly role-play moments. I am most comfortable with the Forgotten Realms setting, and am able to pull from that source easily to create unique adventures whose lore is easily tracible. I believe in an emotionally safe and mechanically predictable play environment, and pride myself on being prepared and available for games so as to not waste anyone's time or money. If you are interested in setting up a one-shot or campaign for yourself or your group, please reach out to me on this site, or shoot me a message on Discord! All games are played on the immersive, interactive, and automated Foundry VTT system.

Creating your character
Characters will start at level 5 and level up at semi-frequent milestone intervals. All characters will start with a feat of their choice. We will use the point buy system for Ability Scores. You may take Feats at ASI levels. Optional class features will be allowed. Feats from Strixhaven and Dragonlance will not be used, nor will any firearms or any content from Acquisition's Incorporated. Equipment: Regular Class Starting Gear 1 Rare magic item 2 Uncommon magic items (no armor, except for shields) 3 Common magic items 2 Regular potions of healing 1 Greater potion of healing 100gp (May be used to buy additional mundane equipment to start with at base prices) It is easiest by far if we can build your characters on DnD Beyond, and I will provide a link to my content shared DnD Beyond Campaign. If any help is needed for character ideas, backstory hooks, or character optimization, I would be more than happy to guide anyone through that during session zero and leading up to the launch of the campaign.
This is an ongoing adventure and we are 7 sessions in as of Jan 30th, 2025. The game is played with the dnd 5e (2014) rule set. It is very easy to write characters into this story, so feel free to shoot me a message, and we can get started on character creation, motivation, and backstory! Characters are currently level 7, so you would come in at that level or higher! Add me on discord (t_trick1217) and we can get you fighting against the forces of evil in no time!
What to expect
Preparing for the session
What you need to play: 1. Most important, you will need a positive and respectful attitude. No disrespect or abuse will be tolerated toward myself, or any other player. 2. A clear, functional microphone, computer or laptop, and stable internet connection. 3. Access to an active discord profile. 4. Access to an active D&D Beyond account
What Tricky brings to the table
As we embark on this epic journey, we will be using Foundry Virtual Tabletop as the canvas for our story! We will be delving into the Demon Lands on high resolution digital maps with accurate walls, interactive doors and beautiful animations. The dynamic lighting, customizable vision, and easy to use action hot bar offer seamless mechanics that leave more time for meaningful Role-Play and vivid descriptions. The combat system is fully automated and animated, meaning that as you make your epic moves you will see that arrow striking your enemy across the battlefield, or your fireball decimating the hordes...and watch them fall before you in real time! This campaign will include a lot of intense combat, mixed with roleplay based around War, political intrigue, and economic decline. This does not mean that it will be a dreary or depressing game, as I like to try and keep the atmosphere out of character of a calm, respectful, and generally cheerful nature (even if the characters are on the verge of damnation!!).

How Tricky creates a safe table
Session 0 will be used for as a Q&A as well as Character creation details and explaining how the VTT works. We should also discuss boundaries and expectations for each other at that time. I typically try to take one 10min or two 5min breaks at opportune times in games over 3hrs. As far as open door, obviously anyone can step away from their computer if they need to do so, but I will request that it not interrupt the flow of the game unless absolutely necessary.
