About the adventure
In a flooded city, forgotten by time, an ancient wound of the Calamity still festers. A hero born under the Moon of Ill Omen languishes in a nightmarish realm of torment, beyond the reach of the gods he placed his faith in. Walk in the footsteps of the Apotheon, guided by his Vestige of Divergence, and bring an end to his centuries of anguish. Along the way you'll encounter a rival adventuring party whose fates are entwined with your own. The way you choose to interact with them will determine whether they become friends or foes, but either way they'll be there to race you to the Apotheon. Can you free the Apotheon from his unending misery and from those who would seek to harvest it for their own profit? Will you beat your rivals to the finish line, or will you end up being a footnote in a story that should have been yours? And, most importantly of all, is it Thursday yet?

About me
Well met, adventurers! I'm a DM with over seven years of experience running games for 5e and have had the good fortune of finishing multiple campaigns, many of which lasted for over a year. Whether you're a veteran or a novice, a min-maxer or a casual player, a serious role player or a player who just wants to do an old-fashioned dungeon crawl; odds are I've already hosted a game that's exactly the sort of thing you're looking for! I like to start off each campaign (and even one shots) with a session zero in order to ensure a smooth start to an experience where everyone at the table can get the most out of the adventure. I'm familiar with most of the 5e modules published by WotC, but am no stranger to creating campaigns from scratch. In either case, I strive to incorporate player characters into the plot to make players feel integral to the story. Everyone should have their time in the spotlight! I could talk about myself more, but the best way to get to know me is to join the Discord we'll be using for our games. That way I can personally answer any questions you might have about the games I run and how I run them. Join our Discord by using this link: https://discord.gg/BnqFAE6axE

Creating your character

What to expect
Preparing for the session
- Join the Discord: https://discord.gg/DcjjHyrz - Microphone/headset required - Roll20 account OR D&D Beyond Account required (Roll20 preferred) - I can help you build your characters and level up, but I expect you to know your own abilities once you have them.
What Robert brings to the table
- Role20 Plus level subscription with content sharing enabled. - D&D Beyond Master Tier subscription with content sharing enabled. - A FREE session zero where we can coordinate character creation. - Access to Exandrian subclasses, Dunamancy spells, and more from The Explorer's Guide to Wildemount and Tal'Dorei Reborn. - This is a perfect game for Critical Role fans who want to play in Exandria! - I've completed this adventure before, after running it for over a year. - I encourage using existing NPCs as part of your backstory, or creating backstory NPCs to bring into the adventure so your character has stakes and a sense of belonging in the world. - I support bending rules for the Rule of Cool as far as possible without breaking them. As long as what you're attempting is remotely possible and doesn't explicitly contradict a rule, you are free to attempt it.

Safety
How Robert creates a safe table
- There's a channel in the Discord where we can list our lines and veils. - X, N, and O's can be sent over Discord or Roll20. - We'll have a FREE session zero to discuss how lines and veils will be implemented. - No element of the story is worth causing players unwanted emotional distress. Don't ever be afraid to speak up at any time and put our safety tools to use!
