War of the Spider Queen
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
“Absence of light results in darkness. So, what results from the absence of Good? The Underdark is a place with very little of either.” - Mordenkainen Araushnee . The Dark Mother. The Lady of Shadows. The Mistress of Lies. Weaver of Webs and Destiny. Queen of the Demonweb Pits. The Spider Queen. She goes by many names. Lolth leads the Dark Seldarine in a never-ending quest for dominance. Her followers among the Drow Elves serve as her pawns, wreaking havoc on civilization and creating terror in the hearts of people. After centuries of defeat, she has a plan. The followers of Lolth are going to war, and those who live on the surface will need brave heroes to stop their advance. Will you take up the charge and prevent darkness from covering the world? This is a customized campaign set in the Underdark, using materials from Into the Abyss, Rise of the Drow, the 2nd Edition Menzoberranzan boxed set and, of course, the AD&D adventure Queen of the Demonweb Pits. This campaign is intended to run from level 1 to 20.

DM Bob Yo hosted a seminar on a VTT system I was curious about. He was very knowledgeable about the program, presented the information about it in an easy-to-digest way, and was able to answer all questions without difficulty. From this brief interaction alone, I can already tell that he is quick-thinking, humorous, patient, and flexible. He's an excellent presenter who knows his materials well, and I think he has a lot to share with interested parties!

I highly recommend Bob. He is very knowledgeable and gives great examples
Ben
Generous with his time; taught less advanced GMs how to use Fantasy Grounds
Sean Kieran
He hosted a very informative and helpful workshop. Made use of his time effectively and was open to questions and comments.
Keith
I attended one of Bob's GM Seminars. His presentation was well thought out, his examples were clear, his manner funny and friendly, and he taught on a level accessible to newcomers while also providing tips and tricks that even a veteran GM like myself didn't know or hadn't considered. Although I haven't played an adventure or campaign with him, I can tell already that it would be a blast!

How to prepare
Prior to play, you'll want to have both Fantasy Grounds Unity (the Free DEMO version is fine) and Discord installed on your devices. If you've not used these services before, don't worry! Newbies are more than welcome, and I try to make myself available to anyone ahead of time who needs technical assistance.
What I provide
I bring the story and all of the maps/mechanical necessities. I also provide access to a shared DnDBeyond campaign containing all of the character creation options.
Gameplay details
Because of the delicate nature of the subject matter, only players 18+ will be allowed in this campaign. In addition to safety tools in session zero, we'll talk about how these sensitive topics will be treated in a way that everyone at the table feels respected, seen, and heard.

How will character creation work
Character creation should be done either in DnDBeyond or Fantasy Grounds prior to our first session. Players will be given a link to join my DnDBeyond campaign, which will give them access to all of the published Dungeons & Dragons character options. Ability scores should be either point buy or standard array. Optionally, you may roll ability scores in the campaign Discord channel using Avrae (I can walk you through it if you're not sure how).
