Power Was Stolen. You Decide Who Deserves It | Choices Matter

Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign

About the adventure

Recover lost artifacts. Unravel the mystery. Decide who deserves the power. A collection of powerful magical items has been stolen, and dangerous artifacts have vanished into the world. You’ve been hired to recover them, but nothing about this job is simple. As you chase the trail across Faerûn, you’ll uncover dark secrets and a web of questions: Why was this forgotten college really targeted? Why does your employer seem more afraid than angry? And who, really, are the right hands to have these curiosities? This is a story-rich campaign blending mystery, tension, whimsy, and moral ambiguity. Expect immersive roleplay, faction intrigue, arcane oddities, and moments where your choices truly matter. Your actions will shape the world, the fate of the artifacts, and the legacy your character leaves behind. After all, finders keepers... right? This campaign features: •🎭 Morally gray choices that shape the world, factions, and ending •🧩 A mystery-driven story with player agency at its core •🧪 Whimsical and dangerous magical artifacts, each with unique effects and consequences •🧠 Dynamic roleplay and social intrigue, where your words carry weight •⚔️ Creative, tactical combat with custom monsters, traps, and encounters •🧙 Custom items and puzzles, designed to make you think and work together •🎨 Immersive FoundryVTT experience with animated maps, lighting, music, VFX, sound design and more •🎲 A game that reacts to your choices — and remembers them Whether you're here for drama, heroism, chaos, or comedy, your character will shape the story.

Recruiting notes

Don’t worry if you’ve missed the first few sessions! This is a long campaign and the story is just starting to unfold, and there’s still plenty of room to make your mark. New characters are worked into the story with care, and I’ll help get you up to speed in a way that feels natural and exciting. You won’t be dropped into the deep end, just come jump in!

How will character creation work

You’ll be invited to our Discord upon signup to meet your party, ask questions, and prepare. We’ll create characters together in a free Session 0, covering optional rules and light backstory. Doing this as a group is encouraged for a cohesive party, but not required. All official 2024 content (plus some UA) is allowed; older material is fine if adapted to 2024. Use point buy or roll, whatever you prefer!
