Phandelver and Below: The Broken Obelisk! - Goblins, Intrigue, and Hidden Threats! - Free Session 0

Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign

About the adventure

A site long thought lost is rumored to have been found again! Lost riches, fables magics, and more. But who exactly is looking for it? A once bustling town has fallen into irrelevance, but someone has contracted you to come there, with promises of something important. Danger abounds when secrets are uncovered, however, and it is sure to be no easy task. There may be something that is even beyond your imaginations! It is up to you to uncover the wheels within wheels, uncover the secrets, and return the town to safety and prosperity once more. Will you take on these challenges? Can you ensure that these forces fail in their designs? More than just a single town is counting on you!

Game style

Theater of the Mind

“Theater of the Mind” uses little to no visuals for scene settings and combat. Instead, the narrative imagery comes from the Game Master’s descriptions and character action and movement comes from Players’ descriptions.

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! 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. This game is a remake and expansion on the first ever 5e campaign! There will be very familiar beats, but far more to explore.

How will character creation work

Characters will start at level 1, and this will ideally be done in session 0. If you have a premade character, or want a pre-generated one, that's not a problem.
