About the adventure
Nested in the mountains, far from civilisation, is a place known only as the Amber Temple. For those who are willing to bargain their souls, the Amber Temple is said to grant them powers alike to those of gods. The power to see truth, the power to bend the wills of others... even the power to conquer death. Yet all manner of monster protect the Temple's coveted gifts. Of those who have sought the Temple out, vanishingly few have returned. And those that did return... were changed. You dare to tread the halls of the Amber Temple. But why? To seal away the darkness that lives there? Or... to harness it? ~~~ Secrets of the Amber Temple is a deadly dungeon one-shot for those with some D&D5E experience under their belts. We will use Roll20, (for its VTT) D&DBeyond (for its character sheets/content sharing) and Discord (for voice chatting.) Detailed battlemaps, ambient music and dynamic lighting will be provided for immersive gameplay. LGBTQ+ friendly.

About me
(Games will be played using Roll20 for VTT, D&DBeyond for character sheets and content sharing and Discord for voice chat and logs) Add me: xiaofang64 Hello! My name is Benjamin. I have been playing D&D for a while, and have seriously started GMing since 2020! My love of literature means that crafting a compelling narrative driven by your character will be a top priority. My love of philosophy means that you will be given the space to explore ethical questions through your character's experiences. And finally, my experience as a teacher means that I'm already well used to preparing tailored content to engage groups for hours! I hope to roll with you soon!

How Benjamin / Xiaofang / 曉方 creates a safe table
The Amber Temple is a difficult dungeon packed with dangerous enemies. Some can be reasoned and bargained with, others not so much. It is highly recommended that you have some experience before playing.
