Eye of the Night! Celestial Convergences! Danger!
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
Welcome to a world where magic is dangerous, the unknown lurks just around the corner, and every choice could be your last—or your greatest triumph. Come play in a thrilling mini-campaign perfect for both newcomers to tabletop roleplaying and seasoned veterans seeking a fresh, high-stakes experience. Built around fast-paced exploration, deadly encounters, and strange magic, this campaign is a wild ride from the first torchlit hallway to the final desperate stand against otherworldly forces. The adventure begins with mystery: strange celestial events in the sky, whispers of lost mines, and assassins targeting the heroes for reasons unknown. As the story unfolds, players will investigate abandoned ruins, uncover long-buried secrets, and confront a hidden threat tied to the very fabric of reality. Whether you’re a first-time adventurer learning the ropes or an old-school player looking for something brutal and unpredictable, DCC’s signature blend of danger, discovery, and dark humor hits the mark. What sets this campaign apart is its raw, unforgiving style—where dice rolls feel dramatic, treasure feels earned, and danger lurks in every corridor. You’ll explore cursed mines, ancient vaults, and realms beyond mortal understanding, all while dodging deadly traps, solving arcane puzzles, and dealing with NPCs who may help—or betray—you. The tone is pulp fantasy with a hint of weirdness, making every moment feel like it’s ripped from the pages of a lost sword & sorcery epic. This mini-campaign is perfect for short-term play, introducing new players to the excitement of D&D-style adventures without a long commitment, while giving veterans the gritty, high-impact dungeon crawling they love. You don’t need to know every rule to survive—but you’ll need guts, teamwork, and a little luck. So grab your dice, ready your spells, and step into the unknown. The stars are aligning—and something ancient is waking. This campaign can be run as a series, as one-shots or even as a Play-By-Post. If you see a listing that appeals yo you please sign up.

Game style
Dungeon Crawl
A “Dungeon Crawl” is a scenario where players navigate a dungeon or labyrinth-like environment for the entirety of the adventure. It emphasizes battling monsters, collecting loot, and avoiding traps to survive to the end!
This campaign can START ON 8 May or at a later date. You're Traveling to Fairweather to meet with the Druid Thistle. He supposedly has the Eye of the Night and you are hoping to view the upcoming celestial convergence through the lens. Perhaps he can be persuaded yet a black smudge of smoke on the horizon portends trouble. The commune has no enemies; yet, you wonder and begin to travel carefully as the colun of smoke grows larger and the buzzards begin to circle. Does it have anything to do with an impending astral convergence? And the rumored presence of the magical lens? Come and play a session as a one shot! Or stay in the campaign! This will be played on the second Thursday of every month starting with 8 May. If the players want, this campaign could be changed to a different week or even customized to bi-weekly or weekly.
