Saltmarsh and Beyond | Classic Beginner-Friendly Adventure
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
In a brackish floodplain, the town of Saltmarsh awaits. Here, the people are as weather-hardened as their steel-gray coast, and fortune is as only as generous as she is dangerous. Yet, wealth and fame are only a breath away for anyone willing to risk life and limb. It is not a place for the faint of heart, but it is a land of adventure! Hello, Adventurers! In this campaign, you'll play as a band of adventurers-for-hire. You'll seek out rumors of lost treasure, soul-chilling monsters, and wonderous magic items, choosing which missions you want to accept and which you'll reject. This ensures you get to play the adventures that sound most exciting to you as your characters explore Saltmarsh and the lands beyond. These updated classics are perfect for new players eager to learn the game and enjoy the updated 2024 rules. At my table, you'll enjoy a supportive, inclusive environment that rewards collaboration and creative gameplay. As such, all players, regardless of experience, are welcome. To ensure everyone has the most fun possible, I lean on my 30 years of D&D experience to include a variety of solutions and play options in this adventure.

How to prepare
For this campaign, you'll need the following: - Discord account - D&D Beyond account - A microphone or headset suitable for use on Discord (your phone can work for this if you have a quiet area to play) - A computer, laptop, tablet, or a combination of these capable of running both Discord and D&D Beyond simultaneously. - Webcams are optional We'll use Disord to talk during the sessions. Once you secure your spot in the game, you'll receive the link to join my server. We'll use D&D Beyond Maps for our VTT. I understand that this is a new platform for many people. However, it's straightforward to use and runs easily on most computers. There's nothing to download for it, and I'll do an orientation to it during Session Zero. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions as you prepare for the session.
What I provide
- D&D Beyond Maps as the VTT - Discord channel for gameplay - Kenku FM for background music and ambiance - A fun, dynamic, adaptive DM-style - Intense in-game challenges - A strong, evocative narrative style - Almost 30 years experience with D&D - A decade of experience DMing for D&D 5e - Character voices (I mean I'm no voice actor, but I do my best.)
