Whimsy and Wonder! The Joy of Extradimensional Spaces
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
Candlekeep attracts scholars like a flame attracts moths. Historians, sages, and others who crave knowledge flock to this library fortress to peruse its vast collection of books, scribbled into which are the answers to the mysteries that bedevil them. Many of these books contain their own mysteries—each one a doorway to adventure. Dare you cross that threshold? Candlekeep Mysteries is a collection of seventeen short, stand-alone D&D adventures designed for characters of levels 1-16. Each adventure begins with the discovery of a book, and each book is the key to a door behind which danger and glory await. I'm running these adventures as one-to-two-shot games starting with this one, The Joy of Extradimensional Spaces! This adventure is for 1st level characters, and can be used to learn how to play D&D if the majority of our group is new to the game. Even if some players are veterans, I'll still guide new players along. My focus is on roleplaying, not power gaming. Few Candlekeep Mysteries encourage power gaming and combat. These are scenarios that really encourage storytelling and roleplay. Things that you can expect - Breaks - 3 Hours of Gametime - Roll20 perks - dynamic lighting, cool character tokens - High roleplay, low combat - Relaxed rule-of-cool gameplay - Mood-setting music - Pre-and-between-game conversations on Discord - Pregenerated characters so we can get to playing sooner!
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.
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.
To make sure we can dive into game play quicker, we'll be using pregenerated PCs.
