Princes of the Apocalypse [Intro to DND Campaign for Beginners]

Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign

About the adventure

Learn how to play dungeons and dragons while living in a cinematic/episodic campaign. Hello, my name is Charlie and I will be your dm and guide through the wonderful game of Dungeons and Dragons. My goal is to help you navigate through the system of gameplay, while making you feel like you're living in an HBO show. I will help you design characters, write backstories, and become DnD literate in no time. All while having the most fun a player can have.

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.
