Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign

About the adventure

In the wake of a meteor, pockets of Delerium crystals sap away at the lifeforce of humanity, but you have not withered. You are a rising life-force in a wasteland, and with your party, nothing will stand in your way. Your aim might be personal, related to the factions, or to rid this blight from the land. But all roads lead to Drakkenheim! Using Sebastian Crowe's Guide to Drakkenheim (share free) my campaign starts elsewhere on the Continent. The game starts immediately after the fall of the meteor, not fifteen years later. This game sneakily has an alternate main quest to the original campaign, as I found Drakkenheim to be intimidatingly character-driven for strangers to play together. I've remixed in a _famously good_ module that will run from level 5 to 10, at which point we can decide whether we had enough fun to finish out the Drakkenheim main and your personal quests which could take the party to level 13. I've weaved in Drakkenheim's contaimination, factions, and would love to see some of the fun subclasses played in this non-Drakkenheim module. We'll be playing with 2024 rules as much as we can, esp for new mechanics. The level range might look smaller than one of those giant book campaigns, but it packs all the action in so everyone finishes the campaign together. It will still take many sessions to complete, based on your actions. Play-by-Post is a fun option for those who can't commit the time all in one go. You post your dialogue and moves in Discord, and I'll update a visual w/ your token to show you anything relevant. It leads to a lot of week-by-week comraderie. I'm a very enthusiastic DM, who is a great communicator. Just trying to get enough DnD-heads together!!!

What I provide

If/when there's combat, I post a VTT shot of your party. I'd like for ppl to be active on Discord, but a lot of ppl join PbP because it is slower paced. We'll be open in our communication about time.

Gameplay details

Lines/Veils: Show kindness to pets. Pet animals can be 'harmed' by me in combat, but if they reach 0HP they simply run away. Lightly flirting with NPC's is understandable if you are attempting to move a quest forward. In the same vein, treat all players like they are friends/family: Build clean relationships, not romantic or adversarial ones. We protect minors- even the pickpockets. If interrogation involves torture (a rare occurrence, eg: not letting an evil wizard 'rest'), I will intervene and fade-to-black. Some House Rules for Mechanics.

How will character creation work

2024 rules, including character creation unless you're kicking and screaming. I'm okay with species from the older books, and many feats as well for 4th level.
