Princes of the Apocalypse: Take down the cults! | 5e 2024
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
What to expect: *Adventure in the Dessarin Valley, battling Elemental Cults! *Take the fight to the cults' lairs: enormous multi-level temples dedicated to each element! *Do your part to keep the many settlements in the Dessarin Valley safe, and bring balance back to nature! Back cover synopsis: "The first signs are always small; bandits on the Dessarin River, monster sightings throughout the Sumber Hills--all too close to the lands of civilized folk. To top things off, a delegation from the dwarven city of Mirabar has gone missing. Are these events all some bizarre coincidence, or is there a deeper meaning behind them? Working through its prophets, the Elder Elemental Eye has emerged to spread chaos across the Forgotten Realms. How will the adventurer's prevent absolute destruction?"
We are currently looking for players of any experience level. Everyone is welcome!

I've been playing with Dan for about ten years now. He keeps surprising me with how well he can adapt to a player's rather crazy decision. He allows players to come up with something creative and whether the dice like them or not is whole another story, but he just rolls with it so well. Dan makes everyone feel very welcome and is all around a really fun person to play with. He also is really helpful to players of all levels. If you're new, he'll walk you through how to make your character. If you've been around for a long time, he'll help to maybe give you some ideas to have more fun with the character or maybe give you an idea you might have not thought of. If you give Dan an idea for a character he'll do his best to help you get to where you want to be. He's a joy to have as a GM, keeps things light, funny, and awards players for creative thinking. All in all, he's a lot of fun and wants to make sure that whoever he's playing with has a good time.

I have had the pleasure of being in games run by Dan and he has always done a phenomenal job with DMing. He very much made the game feel real at times that I almost forgot I was playing.

He tried to kill me, unsuccessfully. But it was a great experience over all. The game ran several years and he wove an amazing story
Additional details
How to prepare
Players will need a mic for voice chat, as well as a Discord account. D&D Beyond is preferred for creating characters, but I will also accept other forms of character sheet and will manually create the character under my own account if necessary (I will need to do so to import into Foundry). If you have an already-created character you wish to bring in, I need to review it before we begin so I can make sure it fits with the game.
What I provide
I will share content on D&D Beyond with the group, as well as access to Foundry for when we play. In-game, I generally provide music, do character voices (within reason for my vocal range), and stick fairly close to Rules as Written (with a couple minor exceptions). That said, I'm happy to work with you if you have a cool idea that isn't too far out there, and we can make a ruling in the moment.
Gameplay details
At any time if you need to bring up something happening that is a problem for you, let me know however you are comfortable with (Discord DM, in-game chat, verbally, etc). In session 0, we can go over anything that is a hard no or any other details.

How will character creation work
Character creation will happen either during Session 0 or in the time between then and Session 1. I will be happy to clarify any questions via Discord or StartPlaying DMs. Characters will start at level 1, and more or less anything official is on the table. plus any homebrew I have pre-built in Beyond. If something doesn't fit naturally, I will work with you to either make it fit or figure out an option that does.
