About the adventure
Hop on to a great Nautical adventure. Let us explore together the High seas of Dungeons and Dragons. A perfect adventure for a new player as well as a seasoned one. 🏞️ Feast your eyes on a world ready to be explored. A custom world full of new islands, new maps and a new adventure in each of them. 🗺️ Learn how it really feels to travel on a boat. Due to my real life job I found myself on a ship numerous times. Thus I can undertand how life feels on a boat and I am eager to turn this feeling to an asset of our game 🪙 Treasure awaits all those who dare to look for them under the waves or perhaps on a secluded island following a dirty old map. X marks the spot. 🔥 Fight your way through pirate scoundrels, malicious sea creatures and savage beasts. 🧙Take unending oportunities to rollplay your characters, and make an impact on the world's politics and schemes. Your words and actions will decide the fate of this world.

About me
Looking for a DM who can really run your adventure? Look no further, I'm dungeon master Alex and I am ready to breathe life into our games. I have been playing D&D for a long time now until I decided "hey, I can run my own games, why don't I?" And then everything fell in order. I have deducted that I can make a much better DM than a player, and the fact that I love to do so is what makes everyone on the table recall each session with fondness for a very long time. I believe that rule of cool must indeed trump the rulebooks when needed so, I take that to my table as well. I also love to take every oportunity to play with your character's back stories and personal goals. My adventures are full or roleplaying oportunities that will allow your characters to seek their personal goals whatever they are. I create games that feel organic thanks to their details, roleplaying and combat balance, well thought and prepaired stories and most of all, for giving my players the options to do whatever they like from the beginning of the game without messing up the story at all. Would you like to play as an adventurer group which targets honor and glory? Maybe you are after treasure and glittering gold no matter the cost. Or perhaps you wish to dive into the dark and evil aspects of the game where you can either pillage and slay the innocent or work under a sinister organization to dominate the world. I've got you covered. I carefully create all my adventures (even official ones) to be played by a good, neutral or evil group to allow the players to do their thing without restricting them. I have always an open door policy where we can discuss everything regarding our game in order to either improve or to provide with additional oportunities that each of you might want. Let's create amazing and unforgetable adventures together!

We will use the point buy system for ability scores -Characters will be created before or in session 0 where we will set the expectation, house rules and very important choices you will be able to make for the campaign itself. -Feel free to DM me about your character's creation, backround and any special ideas you might have before session zero to enrich our campaign with your character's potential personal goals, backstory etc.
Games will take place on either Foundry VTT or Roll20. Players will be able to decide.
