Chult-tastic voyage

Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign

About the adventure

Session 0 and first session free. The island of Chult, brought to life in my custom world, set in a dark age after the fall of a Arcane Concord, leaving the world reeling in the aftermath of arcane destruction. A mysterious plague has begun to threatening all life. With the Death Curse threatening to unravel everything. Venture deep into the perilous, dinosaur-filled jungles, where ancient secrets lie hidden, and the lost city of Omu awaits your discovery. Your quest? To brave the deadly jungle in search of of the soulmonger and destroy saving to world. Gather your courage, assemble your party, and prepare to face the ancient forces that seek to bring ruin to the world. The fate of Chult—and perhaps the entire realm—rests in your hands. Are you ready to stop the Death Curse before it’s too late? Join the adventure!

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 👍

How to prepare

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 I provide

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.

Gameplay details

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
