About the adventure

So, do you dare to delve below and uncover the ancient mystery of the Shattered Obelisk? 🌌 This journey begins with the classic, highly rated and ranked beginner adventure of the Lost Mines of Phandelver and then leads into a much larger plot of cosmic threats from the far realm. 👽⃤ What can you expect in a typical session? 🤔 🎭 Captivating role-play with voiced NPCs 🐉 Epic and challenging combat scenarios 📘📕 A range of narrative choices and consequences
Game style
Rule of Cool (RoC)
“Rule of Cool” emphasizes creative story beats over sticking to a system’s rules as written. Players have the ability to push the limits of the rules or even break core rule mechanics at times if the Game Master thinks it is interesting, fun, or cool enough.
Session Zero will be FREE. The game is played weekly on Saturdays. We will play on Discord, Foundry VTT (Forge VTT) and D&DBeyond. No account, purchase or download is needed for Foundry VTT, but you will need free accounts for Discord, D&DBeyond and Forge VTT. We will use the 2024 rules for this campaign; 2014 options may be considered, provided they don't interact with the new rules in unintended ways. Current party (level 1): >>> Your next character! The party will begin their journey meeting in a tavern in Neverwinter before embarking to Phandalin.

Gameplay details

I will accept feedback after sessions, and you can either let the group know publicly or DM me privately afterwards. Player characters will begin the campaign at Level 1 and use point-buy or standard array for stats.

How will character creation work
Characters will be created in a campaign on D&D Beyond and then ported to Foundry VTT. The party will start at level 1 with point buy and regular starting equipment. We can create characters during the free session zero or sometime before the campaign starts at session one. We will be using the 2024 Rules. To keep things simple, try following the 2024 Player Handbook's character options. Other sources will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
