Deep in the deadly Jungles of Chult lies the Tomb of Annihilation, and the source the the Death curse
About the adventure
Tomb of Annihilation is a deadly, exploration-focused campaign set in my custom world—a fresh take on one of D&D’s most infamous adventures. A mysterious Death Curse is sweeping across the land, killing victims permanently. Hired by the dying noble Lady Syndra Silvane, your party must brave the dinosaur-infested jungles of Chult to uncover the source and put an end to it. You’ll face challenging combat, ancient puzzles, and a massive, trap-filled dungeon that pushes your party to the edge. This is a high-stakes, no-resurrection adventure where survival depends on teamwork, strategy, and quick thinking. Expect rich roleplay, collaborative storytelling, and a world that responds to your choices. New and experienced players are welcome—if you’re looking for a gritty, story-driven campaign with real consequences, this is your jungle to conquer. Let’s roll some dice!

About me
Looking for a Dungeon Master who can elevate your game to new heights? Look no further—I'm Alex, and I'm the DM you've been waiting for. D&D, to me, is more than just dice and rules—it's a living, evolving story where my players are just as much the authors as I am. Using immersive voices, ambient music, and custom maps, I bring every game to life. But it’s not just about the world I create; it’s about how we build it together. I give my players full agency within an open sandbox, with events unfolding in my world regardless of the party's involvement. Your character isn’t just a stat block—it's a part of this world. I work closely with players to craft backstories that are woven into the fabric of my campaigns, often driving personal goals alongside the main plot. Whether you’re after a deep, character-driven journey or a wild ride full of high-jinks and epic moments, my games focus on rich storytelling, immersive roleplay, and combat encounters that keep things dynamic and exciting. I love making my players feel like heroes of legend, and I'm always open to bending the rules for an unforgettable narrative moment or a jaw-dropping "wow" factor. With my relaxed, fun-loving style, I ensure an inclusive and memorable experience where everyone at the table feels like they truly belong. If you're looking for a Dungeon Master who can turn every session into an unforgettable adventure, let’s roll some dice and create something epic together!

This was a great game. I had been wanting to try dungeons and dragons again for the first time in 30 years and I really didn't know how to start. Alex was good and patient with us beginners and even with a problem I had with getting discord to work (mike issue).

I ran a heist oneshot with Alex and he put on a great game. He was very familiar with the material which was really helpful in a game where the group was going back and forth to figure out a plan.

Highly recommend Alex! I did one of his one shots and felt in only just a 4 hour session there was allowed a lot of ability for puzzle solving and roleplaying, whilst still having some murder and mayhem to engage with.

I’ve had the pleasure of playing in a homebrew D&D campaign with Alex as the Dungeon Master, and I can confidently say he’s one of the best DMs I’ve encountered. His storytelling ability is top-notch, weaving immersive narratives that keep everyone engaged while leaving plenty of room for player creativity. Alex has a natural talent for balancing detailed world-building with the unpredictable chaos of a D&D session, ensuring that every moment feels meaningful and fun. What truly sets Alex apart is his flexibility. He has a remarkable ability to adapt to the group’s preferences, creating a fun, casual atmosphere without sacrificing the depth of the story. Whether it’s making space for silly character antics or pivoting the plot based on unexpected player decisions, Alex ensures that everyone feels included and valued in the campaign. If you’re looking for a DM who can bring your D&D sessions to life with engaging storytelling and a laid-back, fun vibe, Alex is the one to call. I’m grateful to have experienced his campaigns and can’t wait to see where his stories take us next!

This campaign is a brilliant blend of epic battles, cunning plots, and lol moments thanks to Alex’s personality. Our DM deserves kudos for turning what could have been a typical villain encounter into an entertaining comedy goldmine. I can’t wait to see what surprises lie ahead with Vladin.

This is a friend of a friend that I hadn't truly gotten to know until our first session. This was my second campaign I had been apart of and it was an absolute treat. Alex was knowledgeable and accommodating to all 6 players about skills and options available throughout the campaign. He not only had a laid out plan for everything but took the time to write new possibilities for variations created by the players. Everything felt in world and cannon. Also he does fun voices 👍
Character creation
Creating your character
Characters will be made on d&d beyond in a dedicated campaign. I will share access to the several books i own for character creation options. I ask players to bring a character concept at a minimum and during session 0 we will finalize characters. We will use point buy for stat generation.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players should come to session 0 with a working mic and having joined the discord server and D&D beyond campaign. I ask though not mandatory players use webcams and read through my homebrew rules I’ve posted to the discord server. Finally players should be prepared and ready for some fun!
What Darkmoon Gaming brings to the table
With nearly a decade of experience as both a DM and a player, I bring a wealth of knowledge and dedication to creating an unforgettable experience. To enhance our campaign, I’ll be utilizing a dedicated D&D server on Discord, providing a central hub for all campaign-related discussions and resources. Through D&D Beyond, I will share access to all the D&D books I own, ensuring players have everything they need to fully engage with the game. To elevate the atmosphere, I will also incorporate immersive music via Discord, helping to set the mood for key moments throughout our sessions. For visual aids, I will use customized maps on Owlbear rodeo to bring the world to life, along with personalized tokens for each player to represent your characters on the battlefield. All of these elements are designed to immerse you in the adventure and ensure that every session feels dynamic, engaging, and memorable.

How Darkmoon Gaming creates a safe table
Session 0 will be held free of charge and will be our first session, where I can discuss expectation, both mine and the players, we will then Our first session will serve as Session 0, where we’ll set expectations—both mine and the players'. I will send players a rpg consent checklist and will ask all player to complete the checklist by session 1 i will compile a master consent checklist and post that in the campaign chat on discord to stay available to all players. We will then start by discussing safety tools i use to ensuring everyone feels comfortable. I’ll also introduce the homebrew rules I use in my campaigns. Next, we’ll finalize character creation together and address any last-minute concerns or adjustments, making sure everyone is ready to dive into the adventure. During gameplay, I’ll incorporate 1-2 breaks depending on session length and player preferences. I also have an open table policy—if a player needs to step away or pause a scene, that’s completely okay, and they can return when they’re ready. I aim to create an environment where everyone feels safe and comfortable, so I work to avoid any content that might make players feel uncomfortable. I have a Stars and Wishes channel on my discord server always available. Lastly, I’ll host a debriefing after each session, gathering feedback on the campaign and the session’s flow so we can keep improving the experience together
