Shadows lurking! Can YOU save Phandalin from demise??

Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign

About the adventure

Welcome! To summarize this campaign let me say it like this: D&D is more than a book, more than a module you need to follow. It's a path that both the players and the DM carve out with their own decisions. This will not be a world that you travel through, it'll be a world that you forge yourself and your decisions will leave a lasting impression on your surroundings and bring new things into the light. An evolving experience based on all your deeds, good or bad. The "first part" of this campaign will include most of "lost mines of phandelver" since it provides a good start especially for newer players. After that, if the group wishes to stay and continue to play together, I have some things planed out, but who knows how you guys will handle stuff and since i don't like to railroad, the story might grow in a way totally unexpected to me but that is fine! Depending on how much experience the party displays, the combat will adjust in difficulty but beware major battles will be hard and if unprepared might end up deadly! We will have a session 0 where we can talk about everything, Character creation, rules of behaving ( i am very open minded but maybe not everyone wants to touch every subject ) etc.

Game style

Rule of Cool (RoC)

“Rule of Cool” emphasizes creative story beats over sticking to a system’s rules as written. Players have the ability to push the limits of the rules or even break core rule mechanics at times if the Game Master thinks it is interesting, fun, or cool enough.

Additional details

How to prepare

Please make sure that you have the necessary tools that we use, as these are vital for the game! These are: Discord (free register) Beyond20 (free browser extension) DNDBeyond (free register) Roll20 (free register) A Microphone (Unfortunately not free)

What I provide

Monster tokens and pictures for a better display of what you are dealing with! Maps, handouts & unique magic items! Music that fits the atmosphere! Over 2000+ hours of experience in online D&D! A player- and character-oriented approach, that might turn into special traits & feats! All the rule books and adventure-crafting tools we might need! Battle and world maps! A Discord server for voice chat, that also serves as a place to spent free time!

Gameplay details

We will go over safety tools, consent, character creation and how the party will get together in Session 0. The direction of the game will adjust to the enjoyment of the players, meaning if a group loves combat more than rp, more combat might happen and vice versa. The game will shape itself to the things the group enjoys the most! I am always very open to constructive criticism, suggestions or general questions and talking. Feel free to send me a message after the game if you want to talk about anything!

How will character creation work

Characters will be created in D&D Beyond. I prefer to use official content. If you have something what you really want to play from UA or 3rd party i can have a look at it and decide then. We will start at level 1, people can create characters in advance but i will also offer to create them togather! Ability scores can be rolled if the whole party wants and agrees to, otherwise we go by standard array / point buy. (we would roll 4 6-sided dice and keep the highest three)
