The God Gauntlet | Level 20 one-shot (Utilizing 2024 5e rules)
About the adventure
While most souls move on after death the greatest and most "epic" heroes are ushered to another place. Once every decamillennium these souls are given the chance to entertain the gods in The God Gauntlet. In this one-shot you and your level 20 teammates will be challenged by a series of trials to entertain the gods. The challenges will increase in difficulty and scope as you make your way through the gauntlet. The further your party is able to go the greater the reward. Will you fight as a god's champion or will you reject their game and their gifts?

About me
I've been immersed in Dungeons & Dragons since 2001, though my journey with the brand began even earlier with the original Baldur's Gate on PC. Whether I'm playing or behind the screen as a DM, Iām always thrilled by the adventures and storytelling. My favorite part of the experience is connecting with like-minded individuals who share the same passion for the game and its endless possibilities. My Discord server is open to all!

Amazing DM! I had such a great time in Dim Dee Emm's Level 20 oneshot. He is a very welcoming and chill DM, but still keeps things going and on track. I love using Tailspire for the adventure. It's a little bit of a learning curve but Dim Dee Emm was very patient and helped us learn how to use the tools. 10/10 would recommend!
A fantastic DM! He balanced challenge and fun perfectly, creating a memorable session. His's creativity and adaptability shone, making the game engaging for everyone. I'd gladly join another adventure led by them. A true pleasure to play with, and I look forward to future games!
