The Lord of Al-Zamar

The Lord of Al-Zamar

Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign

About the adventure

The Al-Zamari Valley, and the whole of the Great Arid Sea, stands on the brink of war between five feuding factions, and a group of adventurous newcomers are tasked with discovering the answer to a single question; who is the true Lord of Al-Zamar? This is a beginner-, LGBTQ+-, and neurodivergent-friendly campaign for up to 6 level 1 characters.

Game style

Rules as Written (RaW)

Games that are ran “Rules as Written” emphasize realism and stick to the letter of the rules, allowing players to explore creative solutions while still operating under a consistent rule set. Players have the ability to utilize the rules in creative ways to create awesome characters and moments in the game.

Dungeon Crawl

A “Dungeon Crawl” is a scenario where players navigate a dungeon or labyrinth-like environment for the entirety of the adventure. It emphasizes battling monsters, collecting loot, and avoiding traps to survive to the end!

Combat Heavy

“Combat Heavy” games emphasize the combat mechanics within their systems over roleplay or puzzle solving. There are frequent and longer battles with enemies and a greater emphasis on tactical game play.

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.

Recruiting notes

Hello and thank you for your interest in my game! The Al-Zamari Valley, and the whole of the Great Arid Sea, stands on the brink of war between five feuding factions, and a group of adventurous newcomers are tasked with discovering the answer to a single question; who is the true Lord of Al-Zamar? This is a beginner-, LGBTQ+-, and neurodivergent-friendly campaign for up to 6 level 1 characters. There will be a free Session Zero during which Lines and Veils will be discussed, characters will be created and game details will be discussed. I keep an open door policy and players are encouraged to notify me at any time they feel uncomfortable with game content. I provide the VTT (Roll20), ambient sounds and music, custom maps and tokens, and D&DBeyond content. I am not a Rule of Cool DM and try to stick to Rules As Written as much as possible. I ATTEMPT to do voices and accents. Feel free to point and laugh at me.
