Dungeon of the Mad Mage

Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign

About the adventure

In this adventure, I will be running one of my most favorite campaigns ever written. Dungeon of The Mad Mage has 20+ levels of dungeons all waiting to be explored, that will take your characters from level 2 all the way to level 20, with several dungeons at max level. Will your characters succeed in their goals? Or fall victim to the Mad Mage like countless before them? This game is for anyone who enjoys story telling, combat, roleplay, character relationships, and discovering a full and complex story. A basic understanding of DND 5e mechanics would really help, but I'm also very happy to help newer players learn, I have taught many in the past! I want you to feel connected to your character and the story, so we will work together to weave you into the story in a profound way and make you feel heroic as well!

Game style

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!

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.

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.

How will character creation work

Players will decide as a group if they want to use Standard Array (15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8) or Point-Buy System As well, there will be bonuses based on your characters backstory that I will personally help you make. It might be a feat, an item, or stat increase. We will create characters together in a Session 0, and sculpt them before the next session to make sure you are satisfied.
