The tomb of annihilation: lift the death curse.

Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign

About the adventure

There is a mystery in the humid jungles of chult: Worldwide a crisis of magic has occurred, no one can raise the dead! Whispers are on the lips of everyone, and theories are aplenty, but all can see how those restored to life by magic wither away, with no end in sight. You will be a part of a team of heroes charged with lifting the so-called "death curse" that has gripped the world. In the depths of the lethal land of Chult there rests an ancient evil, powerful enough to block all spell casters.

Additional details

How to prepare

A microphone of reasonable quality will be needed, as well as a good internet connection to back it up. A discord account for the voice chat. A roll20 account for the VTT.

What I provide

For me as a DM, the rule of cool is the most important rule in the game, bring forth all your quirky character concepts and insane battleplans. I approach each encounter differently, embracing what feels natural for the circumstance. My natural style is very sandbox, and I will not be following the module as it is written. There will be elements of my own design in there. I will ask each player to pick a colour at the start, my reasons are mine to know, and yours to wonder.

Gameplay details

I will talk to everyone, both 1-1 and as a group, about expectations and possibly triggering content. Due to the nature of the game, unless something has been agreed ahead of time as being off limits, this game will have a lot of dark and mature content. Anyone can message me in private, at any time, should an issue arise, and it will be addressed as soon as possible.

How will character creation work

I will go over the details in session 0, and can be reached at any time should there by any questions. I can provide pre-generated characters, and I'm happy to help with any stage of the character creation process. The whole game will run on 2014 rules, including character creation. Stats will be rolled for, 4d6 drop 1. We will start at level 1. For atmospheric reasons, I will be limiting races to the ones found in the players handbook, Xanathar's guide to everything, and Tasha's cauldron of everything.
