Vecna: Eve of Ruin - Currently level 12, everyone welcome!

Creating your character

After signing up to the game you will have access to the D&D Beyond Campaign and Discord Server link to join and create your characters. We are starting with level 10 characters, using either standard array or point buy. Please discuss with me before using any unofficial content (including magic items). Equipment wise: - Each player gets a purse of 2,500gp, this is instead of starting equipment or gold. - You can buy standard equipment priced in the Players Handbook. - Ontop of this common magical items cost 100gp, uncommon items cost 400gp, rare items cost 4,000gp, and consumable magic items, except spell scrolls, costs half. - If purchasing magic items that will be used as armour, the cost of armour is added ontop of the magic item cost (i.e. Mithral Half Plate armour would cost 1,150gp). - You should also purchase any spell components that have a gold value (i.e. revivify diamonds).

Preparing for the session

What Chris brings to the table

We'll be playing using maps from the adventure (using D&D Beyond Maps). My DM style is very rule of cool and encourage discussion if you disagree with a ruling. I do limited voices (best to my ability) and am very good with ad-libbing content, so encourage creativity!

Homebrew rules

My playstyle leans toward Rules as Fun—I value creating an engaging experience over strict rule adherence. I’m always open to bending the rules if it makes the game more enjoyable. That said, here are a few common homebrew rules I use: - Drinking a potion is a bonus action. Giving one to another player takes a full action. - Area of effect attacks may deal double damage on a Nat 20 or none on a Nat 1. I use this more for cinematic or low-stakes moments—for example, doubling 8 damage on a Nat 1, but not 60. - Failed death saves carry over during combat (we’ll chat about this before it comes up). - When unsure if something should work, I’ll often roll odds/evens to decide. - I try to avoid players feeling useless on their turn. For example, if you save against a stun at the end of your turn, I may still let you act. Same with death saves.

How Chris creates a safe table

Though I'm a very light hearted DM, ​Vecna: Eve of Ruin is a high-level Dungeons & Dragons campaign designed with mature themes and intense scenarios to challenge players. Should we encounter a theme that players are uncomfortable with I am very happy to veil it, or avoid it entirely. I am always available for discussing topics, whether before, during or after the game.
