About the adventure

Quest for the Fallen Star Few things in the world are as rare or as magical as a Fallen Star. Dislodged from its celestial home in the Astral Plane by some mysterious disturbance, this fragment of pure magic has tumbled down to Earth. Ancient lore says that whoever finds the Fallen Star will have their greatest wish granted. Sages and diviners have carefully tracked the star’s descent, and their best estimates point to its resting place somewhere deep in the Great Sea, far from any land. From all corners of the realm, adventurers have set sail aboard the *Star Tide*, hoping to claim their fortune in the vast, dangerous ocean. The heroes now have a significant advantage: a long-lost relic that reveals the star’s location. But their lead won’t last long. The Blackrift Sea Reavers—a ruthless northern nation of warriors—are closing in fast. As if that wasn’t enough, the star has landed in the heart of dragon territory. The ancient red dragon matriarch, Lux, has her own plans for this magical prize. It’s a race against time as the heroes navigate treacherous islands and uncharted waters, where treasure and danger await just beyond the edge of the map! Will they claim the star... or fall victim to its perilous allure?

How to prepare

Required: -A microphone (any mic will do) -A Roll20 account (the free version is perfectly fine) -A Discord account Recommended: -A webcam (optional, but adds to the experience) -A D&D Beyond account to access the 2024 Player’s Handbook -A note-taking device (pen and paper, digital document, etc.)

What I provide

Players will have access to the 2024 D&D 5e rules through my campaign on D&D Beyond. For voice communication, we’ll use Discord, with optional video—I'll have my camera on to help create a more immersive experience. Ambient music will also be played through Discord via a bot to set the mood. For maps and tokens, we’ll use Roll20, where you can expect detailed battle maps and unique tokens for both enemies and players. As a Game Master, I embrace the "rule of cool" philosophy, so if you have a bold or outlandish idea, we'll work together to bring it to life. I encourage players to fully embody their characters, as long as we remain respectful of everyone's time, boundaries, and the collaborative storytelling experience.

Gameplay details

All players are required to complete a Lines and Veils survey prior to Session 0. The lines and veils will be shared in a common space where everyone can access them, ensuring that sensitive topics are respectfully avoided during gameplay. We’ve integrated X and O cards into Roll20, and we'll go over how to use them during Session 0. Additionally, I will be available for aftercare on Discord and following each session, to ensure everyone feels supported. We will speak more on safety tools and player expectations during session 0.
