Killer Kaiju!! New mechanics! Wrath of the Kaiju. - FREE SESSION 0 -

Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign

About the adventure

Wrath of the Kaiju kind of says it all, doesn't it? Ever wish big enemies felt.... big? Should the word "colossal" or "gargantuan" amount to more than a few squares on a battlemap? Let's put your skills to the test. Set inside a rich environment and developed world, with new and unexpected monsters, factions, items, spells, and more. There are multiple adventures to be playtested here, all balanced for various levels. It also comes with combo attack mechanics, a weapon mastery system, new enemies, and more. Oh, and of course, KAIJU. Proper giant monsters!

Alex is a great DM. He clearly knows the rules and knows the content he is game mastering for. He is also very flexible and rewards creative play. From adding music, to having good handouts, maps, and resources, he is very prepared at each session. Looking forward to many more sessions. Two Thumbs up!

Alex and I have played 5E together for almost 10 years both as a party mate first and later as a dungeon master. As a PC his Oath of Conquest Paladin had many layers of depth and creativity. The class is a difficult to role play and this particular oath has challenges, yet he peerlessly RP’d it. As good of a PC as he is Alex shines most brightly as a DM. Wielding the attributes he holds as a player with all the creativity afforded to him as a dungeon master. These abilities also help him enhance his players’ characters as he weaves them into his homebrew worlds. Some GMs can be extreme rule lawyers. Alex is not one of them. The Rule of Cool usually prevails at his table. For example he once let my level 11 away of Shadows monk run up a wall and Superplex a Giant Grick off it while using a bonus action to teleport my monk back to the ground safely. This turn was all pretty much 5E compliant and he uses Rule of Cool to make the rest happen. If this doesn’t persuade you just how fun of a DM Alex is you’ll just have to book him and find out yourself!

Alex was really welcoming and patient with me as I played D&D for the first time. He allowed me to be creative with my character so I could perform some cool feats while staying within the rules of the game. He's the perfect DM for new and experienced players alike!

Alex is a reliable DM that never no-shows, rarely had to reschedule and always communicated clearly. He's flexible with "rule of cool", bending the rules when it's a great idea or helps the plot, but stops short of breaking them. Very good about declaring things one time epic moments so it doesn't become a free-for-all. Very proficient with the rules, but humble enough to double check and admit when he doesn't know, then efficient in checking references and savvy enough to know when to just make a provisional ruling and move on. Uses Owlbear Rodeo effectively. Patient with new players. Good flow and pacing.

Additional details

How to prepare

Please make a discord account if you do not have one. Mic please, camera optional. Make an account on Owlbear Rodeo, and download the free icon starter packs in your profile. Digital or physical dice are fine, there's an extension in OR for rolling, but you don't have to use it. I operate on the honour system (plus, always passing every roll makes the game boring!). If you require blank character sheets, I have them and will provide during session 0.

What I provide

Digital maps when available! Curated music list! My players mostly need to bring themselves, some imagination, and a good sense of humour!

Gameplay details

During session 0, we can discuss what may come up, and the broad theme of the game as well as looking at the broad base of the campaign and establishing characters/party composition as a group. We will also establish Lines and Veils. In addition, I will take that chance to go over the new mechanics found in the book, such as combo attacks, weapon masteries, kaiju combat, and more!

How will character creation work

Characters will be at the level appropriate to the adventure (which could be level 5, 11, or 16, for example). This will be discussed in session 0. I will also make the pdf available to my players so they can use the information within, if desired. Not necessary! You don't need to use the stuff from the pdf at all. Also, if you have a premade character, or want a pre-generated one, that's not a problem.
