Chronicles of Devilport! | D&D 5E | Dark Epic Sandbox Campaign

Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign

About the adventure

Welcome to Devilport, a nasty, violent and lucrative city on the shore of the Devil Sea. Devilport is a medieval dark fantasy sandbox with pirates, were-sharks, gangs, duelists, and brutal and nightmarish magic. πŸ”₯ PLOT πŸ”₯ From urchin to overlord. You'll start as newcomers to the city of Devilport, but soon opportunities will present themselves (paired with risks and danger). This sandbox-style campaign will allow you to rise in the city's power-hungry hierarchy. Your guile, boldness, and creativity will project you to the top, and you will eventually be able to influence the city's destiny: Crime and piracy, or legal trade and justice? πŸ’œ SYSTEM πŸ’œ With my innovative custom take on D&D, I offer a game that combines a deep narrative experience with a crime gang sandbox setting. The sophisticated narratology involves dramatic realism and character depth, while valuing role-play over crunchiness.
