Hunt monsters and craft witchy magical items in Lairs of Etharis

Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign

About the adventure

WHERE DO MAGIC ITEMS COME FROM! Ever wanted to make your own magical items and potions? Always wondered what you could do with all those left over monsters parts? Well in Lairs of Etharis you get to combine both to make your own magic items as you hunt down monsters. As you follow the story you will help the people in this Grim Hollow world and getting the monsters insides as you rewards. It is designed for characters of levels 1-20 and a great game for beginners, novices and experienced players as I will be helping guide and educate you on D n D when needed . Its a balanced game with lots of chance for character development and acting out your heroes, there’s still combat of course but it’s not a dungeon crawl. If you like the Critical Role style of play this is for you. I like to help my groups make friendships with each other so we can all be silly and have some fun. It is a difficult game getting to level 20 so be prepared for horrifying experience's but there will also be some lightness to keep you going. Hate Tech or Socially Anxious! I don’t like tech either so I’ve tried use the easiest ones available and that are free. Feeling anxious of meeting new people? You will be able chat to me before hand so you will know me before the game and I make sure all the groups are integrating and if you have a shy day sometimes that’s cool. (if you don’t understand any of the D n D words here don’t worry I will explain it) READ ON IF YOU DARE TO HUNT THE MOST DANGEROUS OF MONSTERS AND GET THIER MAGICAL REAWRDS! Etharis is a world devoid of gods and in need of heroes. Hack, craft, and hunt your way through 20 deadly Lairs that will test the mettle and resolve of your party. Horrific aberrations and shambling monstrosities lurk in the dark places of this world, but the true monsters are found in the degenerating cities of old, where humanity clings to survival. Can you help this word and your self?

Game style

Rules as Written (RaW)

Games that are ran “Rules as Written” emphasize realism and stick to the letter of the rules, allowing players to explore creative solutions while still operating under a consistent rule set. Players have the ability to utilize the rules in creative ways to create awesome characters and moments in the game.

Roleplay Heavy

“Roleplay Heavy” games place the focus on the story, the characters, and the world they live within, and tend to lean hard into the various roleplaying elements of the game. These games will frequently find the party talking with NPCs, exploring the personal elements of their backstories, or even having emotional moments around the camp fire.

How to prepare

I use Session Zero to address any safety concerns the game might entail, and I am always open to being messaged privately if further concerns arise.( if joining after this, all the safety notes will be posted in the discord room) I prefer to run a tight ship and keep the story moving, but the most important thing to me is that all my players are having fun. I will provide a Discord chat room for the game to be played and also a text chat room so you can talk to me or the rest of the party when you wish to. You will need the free link for Discord I send you and I use Owl Bear which you just need click to access for maps. The only registering is a free D n D beyond account to make your character (takes about 2 mins to do) Equipment needed. A computer or tablet, computer will make it easier. webcam(adds more fun but you don’t have to use) and a mic. Thinking about the race and class you like your character be would a great help pre game but not necessary. (e.g an elf wizard)

What I provide

Custom maps, custom tokens and illustrations of NPCS, Monsters and Locations. Shared D n D beyond character resources and books. Discord chat room. RAW 2014 rules and content used and you can choose from over 50 races (no home brew).3 bad NPCS voices that I can do.

How will character creation work

If you join for session 0 we will make the characters as a group and if joining after I will spend some time with you before the game separately making your character. You will start at level 1 (or higher depending when you join the adventure) and make your character in DND Beyond, point buy/standard array, and will I will give you a link to join my campaign. No home brew is allowed, and you’re free to use any of my shared resources on D n D Beyond to make your character and I can help guide you in the make.
