Overthrone: A Greek Tragedy
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
⚡ OverThrone – A Modern Mythic D&D 5e Adventure 🦚 The Greek Gods were once the undisputed rulers of the cosmos, feared and worshiped by mortals for millennia. They rose to power by overthrowing the Titans, but now, history has repeated itself. Their own children—the DemiGods—have rebelled, cast them down from Olympus, and seized control. Stripped of much of their divine power, the old gods must now navigate a world that has moved on without them. This is a Dungeons & Dragons 5e adventure, set in a world that mirrors modern Earth. Technology is everywhere, yet to you, it might as well be magic. Once, the mortals carved statues in your honor—now, they are glued to glowing rectangles, their devotion fading into myth. But make no mistake: you are still a God. Your power may be diminished, your name forgotten by many, but the divine spark within you still burns. And if the DemiGods thought they could erase their creators, they were wrong. You and your fellow fallen deities must regain your power, rebuild your influence, and take back what is rightfully yours. Will you inspire the world to believe in you once more? Forge new legends in the age of skyscrapers and satellites? Or will you burn it all down and remake the world in your image? The choice is yours. This game is perfect for fans of mythology, modern fantasy, and epic power struggles. If you’ve ever wanted to play a vengeful Zeus, a trickster Hermes, or a reborn Hades learning to wield a smartphone, this is your chance. No deep knowledge of Greek mythology required—just bring your creativity, ambition, and a willingness to embrace the chaos of gods in a world that no longer worships them. 🔱

Tauthiri is the best DM I've ever had. Really open to ideas and was a great help getting me started as a beginner. I had a great time in their games and they really tailored it to me and my party. It was the best when my backstory arc came and she did an awesome job weaving the plot threads together. I can't wait for our next session.
Tauthiri is a great DM. The sessions are super comfortable for beginners, she finds a way to introduce you to the story even if it's an ongoing campaign. There's never been a boring session and there's always a sense of the story moving forward each time. NPC's feel alive through voices and motivations. The world feels grounded with occasional festivals and local history. Players are allowed to be creative and explore without feeling shoved into certain decisions. I really recommend her!
Jessica is an amazing GameMaster and I wholeheartedly recommend them to any player looking to get a game going. It's a shame I can only add three tags onto this review because after playing in so many campaigns and one-shots there's too many aspects to praise! From the physical props and virtual battlemaps, to the expansive political intrigue and cultures of her worlds, and the fun minigames and puzzles that have been crafted for myself and the parties I've played with, this DM is consistently impressive and can manage a party at any level of experience. I always feel safe and welcome at this table and I look forward to all the future games and sessions I hope to have with them in future ^_^
My time playing with Jessica as a GM was great, they were super welcoming and great at having safety & feedback tools set up. Jessica was very keen to make sure the game was in the style we wanted and open to changing things as we sort of worked out how we wanted to interact with the world. I had a lot of freedom in character set-up and decision making but also felt that the world/plot were made to be inclusive and shaped with our characters in mind (which was very fortunate for my stinky critter of a kobold). The world was rich and also varied, and Jessica was great at managing the ratio of roleplay to combat, bearing in mind the preferences of our group. We played primarily in person and Jessica always made sure to set up the scene/atmosphere with music and quite often fun little props.
Additional details
How to prepare
A webcam and microphone are required, along with Roll20, D&D Beyond, and Discord accounts. Characters should be created beforehand, and players should have a basic understanding of the rules. However, if you need help, feel free to reach out—we can schedule time to go over everything together!
What I provide
I run a Master-tier D&D Beyond game with tons of unlocked content, immersive maps on Roll20, and a fully integrated Discord with bot support for smooth gameplay. Expect character voices (all vaguely Scottish, but passionately delivered) and curated playlists to set the mood for every scene. We’ll be using classic D&D 5e rules, but at my table, Rule of Cool reigns supreme—if it’s epic, creative, and fits the story, we’ll make it happen!
Gameplay details
We'll be using Lines and Veils to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable experience for everyone. Each player will submit their preferences, which will then be compiled and shared in the Discord for transparency and reference. Before the campaign begins, we'll have a free 15-30 minute one-on-one Session 0 with the DM. This is a chance to go over safety tools, campaign tone, and character readiness, making sure you're comfortable and excited to jump in. During the game, X, N, and O cards can be communicated privately to the DM via Discord DMs, allowing for quick adjustments to keep the experience fun and safe for all. If you ever need to step back or voice a concern, your comfort always comes first!

How will character creation work
Character creation should be completed before the first session. You will be playing as a fallen Greek God, starting at level 1 in D&D 5e, seeking to reclaim your lost power. Your character should be inspired by a deity from Greek mythology, though your interpretation can be as traditional or as unique as you like. Stats should be determined using the 4d6, drop the lowest method. Characters must be created on D&D Beyond—the campaign link can be found in the prepped materials section and on Discord.
