About the adventure

The ultimate dungeon crawl game in the ultimate fantasy city. Mad Mage is the only official title that takes the player from Level 5 to Level 20 with the potential for more advemtires in Waterdeep, the biggest city on the Sword Coast. We will have multiple quests, multiple options and multiple villain's! In this version the sky is the limit, allowing players to team up with both good factions, evil factions, good guilds, bad guilds, and everything in between. :👀: 🐉Classic Start : You start in the biggest bar in the world, that is the entrance to the biggest dungeon in the world, in the biggest city in the world, and you meet your allies and party and dive into a multile level dungeon! :☠: No punches pulled: Beginner or Expert, the dice are always telling a story, I roll all dice in front of players, so we all react to what happens together. That means I can not save your character, so always be careful of your decisions, and it is okay to sometimes run away. :🕍: Your adventure, your way; We play from Level 5-20, with the option to continue further. Each player can choose from multiple Factions inside the city to ally with, all the usual and bonus non-traditional guilds including both the Zhentarim and Xanathar guilds, each with unique progressive quests and rewards from each faction. :🏆: Mad Mage is the perfect game to enjoy with a group, it gives the chance for everyone to shine and make it all the way to level 20! :⚔: Highly Tactical DM, allows characters to enjoy multiple aspects of the VTT experience

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.

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.

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

You will need a microphone, and a discord account, we will connect to the foundry and the forge once we are all together. We will have a unique discord channel along with a paid discord server for quality voice.

What I provide

I will bring the unique experience of running this campaign multiple times, including finishing the campaign three times to conclusion, and am still running a campaign that started in dragon heist and continuing in the mad mage dungeon, that is on session 123 as of 12/19/2023, and close to it's conclusion so I wanted to start another one! We will play on roll20 and using my upgraded discord server, I promise a unique gaming experience with the remix and what I bring in DM ability.
