Tomb of Annihilation. Trouble in the jungle
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
death curse spreads across the land. Clerics can no longer revive those presently departed. Those who had been given another chance of life find themselves withering with each passing night. No magic, prayer or potion has stopped this curse. It invades everyone like the air we breathe. Mystics speak of turbulent souls in the afterlife. Scollars fruitlessly search for the cause. The very rich Syndra Silvane resists her death curse fate and hears of the "Soulmonger". A powerful artifact known to be in the jungle peninsula of Chult. The candle of her life shortens each day and you must hurry. If you are to receive her generous reward. Pack your insect repellent, an old book of notes, check your bed roll for snakes, a good pair of books, and maybe a whip will be useful. You're heading to the jungle! Set in the forgotten realms. This campaign takes you from Lv1 through to Lv11. Along the way you will be moving through dense jungle, visiting bustling towns, breaking into mystical tombs and trespassing ruined temples. A fully immersive campaign allowing you to live your Lara Croft/Indiana Jones fantasy adventures. - Discover the clues to unlock secret puzzles - Encounter a range of monsters from the relentless undead, sentient plants, surprising snakes and dinosaurs that haven't heard about extinction. - Pry powerful magic items from not-lucky adventurers' past. - Battle with villains whose dice rolls will make you shake in fear. Will you restore the balance of life and death, or just become another devoured soul?
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.
Theater of the Mind
“Theater of the Mind” uses little to no visuals for scene settings and combat. Instead, the narrative imagery comes from the Game Master’s descriptions and character action and movement comes from Players’ descriptions.
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.
PLAY BY POST --------------- The whole campaign is delivered via Discord (story) and Owlbear rodeo (maps). Your DM will post the unfolding story at least once a day (probably more). Players then post their interactions and roleplay, roll dice in D&D Beyond and Discord. The DM then responds, and so the adventure reveals. PBP is great for people who find it hard to meet a regular schedule of games, who like to microdose on D&D daily, and who enjoy writing and getting into roleplaying. or who find they cannot access live of face-to-face games. With a mobile device, you can play anywhere, anytime. The benefits of play-by-post are: - THOUGHTFUL ACTIONS: Take your time considering your optimal combat move or roleplay interaction. - FRIENDSHIPS: Bond with your fellow players as they become a daily presence in your life - CHARACTER BUILDING: Dive deep into your character as you roleplay through text giving as much detail to their thoughts, responses and personality as the campaign builds. - FLEXIBLE GAMING: Play anytime, anywhere with people across different time zones. No more scheduling the group to meet - WORLD BUILDING: Detailed descriptions and A permanent record of what happened in the campaign builds, so no more arguments about what was said - EVERYONE CONTRIBUTES: In this style of group, your voice and actions are always heard and counted. It's not about who is fastest.

The campaign starts at level 1 and finishes at level 11 You will have access to all shared resources via the D&D Beyond campaign link to select your species, class, background (2 new backgrounds available), etc. We will be using the new 2024 rules. - Build your character in D&D Beyond - Start at level 1 - Point buy or standard array for stats - Starting equipment - Species and classes available via campaign link - If you have something special in mind, please contact me, it will probably be ok.
