Echoes of the Forgotten Manor

Echoes of the Forgotten Manor

Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign

About the adventure

When a mysterious benefactor bequeaths an ancient manor to the party, the adventurers arrive only to find it crumbling and long abandoned. As they begin to explore its decaying halls, they uncover a hidden portal, an arcane gateway that leads to realms beyond imagination. From soaring high fantasy kingdoms to dystopian futures scarred by apocalypse, each world offers new dangers, powerful artifacts, and fragments of lost magic. To restore the manor to its former glory, the party must journey through these strange and shifting realities, facing epic challenges and unraveling the secret of the manor’s past.

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.

How to prepare

Discord is required as well as a mic. I do not care if you use a webcam or not. Tale Spire guest/demo is a soft requirement so you can join my campaign and move you're characters though If you can not download it no worries I can just stream my screen on discord. DnD Beyond is also a requirement as character management will be done on there.

What I provide

As the GM I will be bringing the VTT as well as custom maps, digital miniatures and my award winning personality. Jokes aside I do try to do voices and use ambient music. I do side on the rule of cool more often then not and often times will let my players bend the rules with good arguments. However if a rule needs to be made clear I will write down the rule change and when so that will be the new ruling going forward. Example a Dragonborn Druid using wild shape can not use their breath weapon while in animal form, since there is no clear ruling on this RAW so at my tables I do not allow druids to do this as wild shape in my mind completely changes the physical body of those who use the spell so they would not have the same internal organs allowing them to use said breath weapon. (unless you are wild shaping into a creature that can)

Gameplay details

Aftercare: After the session I will be around to answer questions or just talk about the good and bad things that happened so they can be addressed. For those who need to address things in private I have private voice channel set up we can jump into. The checklist should be filled out before session 0 or at session 0 but must be completed before session 1. I love feedback so that way I know what I am doing right and what I can improve or perhaps just simply provide more of. Even though I have years of experience that does not mean I can't improve even more. Perhaps there was not a lot of combat one session a player can send me a wish for a more combat focused session.
