About the adventure
Confused, you pull out the letter that brought you here. “Mercenaries will be paid in gold to capture bandits…” Your eyes travel to the fresh mounds of dirt on multiple graves, then flit from house to house. “Vengeance is Coming”, written in blood, is being scrubbed from white-washed walls. “This doesn’t look like a few bandits,” one of your companions says as you walk through the leafy elven village. You agree, but you're here now. And you need this payout, especially since you can’t go back. Those bridges are well and truly burnt. As you enter the village circle your heart sinks. Another team, lounging beneath dappled leaves while sharpening their blades, are also here for the gold. “Crap. What's she doing here?” you mutter. ------- In DEATH OF THE ELVEN REALM ⚔️ fight in exciting battles 🧙♀️ grow from new adventurer to legendary hero, 🐲 face terrifying monsters, 📜 uncover ancient secrets, 🗡️ find world shaping magic items, 🌎 explore and forge a detailed homebrewed world. In DEATH OF THE ELVEN REALM you are an adventurer seeking an easy first job, but instead discover a vengeful being intent on annihilating every last elf in a forested land with hidden perils and a shameful past. This heroic adventure starts with level 1 characters and ends at level 9. It is suitable for both veterans and beginners.

About me
Hello! My name is Vahid. As well as being a Dungeon Master for 40+ years, I am the producer and DM of the streaming show Dice Legenz (links below to check out our show). Over the 40+ years of being in the D&D scene I have spent thousands of hours playing HEAPS of different TTRPG systems, but I especially love D&D 5th edition. Role-playing games are an amazing way to connect with friends, make new friends, create new and exciting worlds, and just have a wonderful creative time. Fun is the core of all of the games that I run. The sessions that we will have together will be a balance of engaging, interactive role playing, and exciting, thrilling, fast paced action. While running pre-made modules is fun, the real excitement for me is creating new worlds, new characters, new adventures. Therefore, the games that I run are in unique world settings. Together, we will encounter monsters you have never seen before in places no one has ever visited before. And at the heart of all of the adventure are the characters that YOU make - the heroes, or perhaps antiheroes, of our adventure. If you like making fascinating heroic (or anti-heroic) characters, you're in the right place; if you love helping to build wild and wonderful worlds, you're in the right place; if you enjoy scintillating role playing experience, you're still in the right place; if you're a strategic thinker and love combat, this is the place for you; and if you love going up levels and collecting loot… yep! You're in the right place! The games that we will play together are open for any experience level. Whether you are a veteran, or a first-time D&D player, you are welcome here. When not doing Dungeons and Dragons, professionally I am from the television and media world. I'm a music composer that composes for media, especially animation, but also for advertising, games, magazine shows, children's shows, sports, etc. I've also had experience as a voice actor, script writer, animation director, and now the producer of the Dice Legenz show. In my personal life I am a husband and father. I live in New Zealand, but was born in Bloomington, Indiana in the United States of America. I'm a world citizen who works with people all over the planet.

View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
Characters will start at level 1. We will discuss character creation in our free Session Zero. Feel free to bring character ideas to the session but the characters will be locked in during the Session Zero. During that session we will talk about character backstories, connections, and the setting. Players will then make/finlise their level 1 characters. You are welcome to use 2024 or 2014 traits. Official D&D book sources only. Standard array stats. Averaged hit points. Standard starting equipment. You can use the character creator tools within the Roll20 game if you want. I have access to the full 2024 and 2014 Players Handbook options.
The party is currently level 8. It is comprised of a battle master fighter, a life cleric, a light cleric and a gunslinger.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You will need a working microphone, internet connection, account on Roll20 (it is free), and to join my Discord server (also free). Cameras are optional. I use a camera. You can choose. You are welcome to use physical dice or digital.
What Vahid Qualls brings to the table
VTT, professional maps, immersive music, professional voicing. We use the Rules as Written most of the time, but aren't afraid to bend them to make room for the Rule of Cool.
Homebrew rules
Initiative scores instead of rolling initiative. This gets us into combat faster. See pg. 42 of the Dungeon Masters Guide for details. Critical Saving Throws. A nat 20 on a saving throw roll means no effect, even if a save would normally mean 1/2 damage. A nat 1 on a saving throw means double damage. If a character with the Evasion trait (e.g. rogues and rangers) rolls a nat 1 they take full damage instead of half damage.
