[2 HOUR] Call of the Netherdeep - Heavy RP & Challenging Combat

Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign

About the adventure

This is an open-world game. There's an overarching story which is from Call of the Netherdeep, but the game is a large sandbox. There's gonna be lots of small opportunities for discovery and other side adventures. If and when you choose combat, the battles will be tense and conflict will have a habit of spiraling and really pushing you to your limit. -- You're a talented individual that signed up for a large town's annual festival. During the festival, a call to adventure is heard that will take you to the crown city and beyond. -- Here's 5 examples of things you can hear during this game: - As you head out into the street, the town board mentions a Great Bat terrorizing the village at night - 5000gp reward. - A local youth wearing farmer's garb eagerly runs up to your table. "Are you all the Ice Crew?! Oh man! Real heroes! Please, please, please. Please help my farm! We can go tonight even, it's not too late. Oh, it's nothing dangerous really. I... uh... I can tell you more on the way." He looks around nervously. - One of your party members to another, "Oh hey. Yeah so we can probably do that. Where'd you get the axe? That axe is cool though." - You spend the afternoon researching a new, powerful ingredient and learn it is found only in the lower levels of a nearby crypt. You make an order for supplies, and get ready to spend the next couple days out of town. - Deep in the mysterious forest, you suddenly encounter these two elves. Their faces covered in massive welts, look at you with their eyes full of desperation. "Our prince is being attacked by giant bees! Please help us!" ♋ The setting is the Sword Coast of the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting, a high fantasy world, and the same setting as featured in Baldur's Gate and the D&D movie. Call of the Netherdeep is a D&D 5th Edition Campaign Module written by Matt Mercer of Critical Role. Many of the events in this campaign were inspired by both of these. ⛺ Beginners and experienced players welcome. The game uses the 5th Edition D&D Rule Set. Game Rules will be clarified and explained when needed, and then can be revisited or adjusted later. ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ Note: I strive to create a safe and inclusive space for all players, welcoming individuals from diverse backgrounds. Our game is committed to fostering an environment free from racism, transphobia, homophobia, and any form of discrimination. ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~

Game style

Roleplay Heavy

“Roleplay Heavy” games place the focus on the story, the characters, and the world they live within, and tend to lean hard into the various roleplaying elements of the game. These games will frequently find the party talking with NPCs, exploring the personal elements of their backstories, or even having emotional moments around the camp fire.

What I provide

Music, Discord, D&D Beyond, digital maps & tokens, virtual tabletop. I run an immersive, roleplay-driven game with voice-acted NPCs who have clear goals and conflicts. Attention to detail can reveal advantages for your party. The story unfolds dynamically, shaped by your choices and their ripple effects. Combat is challenging and tactical, with cinematic moments and opportunities to push your character’s limits. I also bring bonus content - custom adventures, published modules, side quests, dungeons, random happenings, and more.

Gameplay details

I have a discord channel for the game. I have an anonymous Google Docs for lines and veils. I have more campaign information pinned in the game. You'll get links to everything when you join. I usually run this campaign for 50-100 sessions and end at level 14.
