Tomb of Annihilation | A Race Against Death

Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign

About the adventure

**A Shadow Falls Across the World – And You're Next** A chilling sickness grips the globe, draining the life force of those who have narrowly escaped death. It's not a quick, merciful end, but a slow, agonizing decline. And the worst part? The sickness is growing stronger, spreading faster. The whispers point to a single, terrifying origin: a vast, uncharted island shrouded in mystery and dread. Rumors paint it as a place of ancient evils and forgotten magic. **But this time, it's personal.** You, and those like you, bear the mark of the near-dead. The creeping malaise is already within you, a constant reminder of your mortality. The clock is ticking. You are not just trying to save the world; you're fighting for your own survival. **Are you willing to gamble everything to reach the island, confront the source of the plague, and reclaim your stolen life?** **This campaign offers:** * **High-stakes, personal narrative:** Your character's life is on the line. * **Dynamic world:** The consequences of your actions will ripple through the campaign. * **Strategic challenges:** Clever thinking and resourcefulness are key to survival. * **Meaningful combat:** Battles demand tactical prowess, not just brute force. * **Deep lore:** Uncover the secrets of the island and its history. * **Exploration-driven gameplay:** Chart your own course through a dangerous and unpredictable world. * **Classic dungeon crawls:** Descend into the depths of forgotten places.
