About the adventure
I’ve always had a soft spot for The Sunless Citadel, it was the very first adventure I played as a D&D player, and it’s stuck with me ever since. That’s why we’ll be kicking off this campaign with The Sunless Citadel, and if we have enough players the plan is to play through all seven adventures in Tales from the Yawning Portal. Of course, you’re welcome to hop in and out between modules if you prefer a more flexible commitment, but I highly recommend experiencing the full journey. These classic adventures are some of the best D&D has to offer, each with its own unique challenges and rewards. The book includes the following dungeons: -The Sunless Citadel -The Forge of Fury -The Hidden Shrine of Tamoachan -White Plume Mountain -Dead in Thay -Against the Giants -Tomb of Horrors The campaign spans from level 1 all the way to level 13 and beyond. The difficulty ramps up with each adventure. The Tomb of Horrors, for example, is a legendary deathtrap where only the cleverest (or luckiest) players are likely to survive. These adventures are treasure-filled dungeon crawls, rich with magic items and powerful relics. Between modules, there will be downtime to trade, sell, or purchase magical gear suited to your evolving playstyle.

About me
Hi, I'm Joe, and I started GMing back in 2019. Since then, I’ve had many opportunities to run games at events almost always with new groups, and often with players who were brand new to the world of TTRPGs. These experiences have greatly shaped my storytelling style. I consider myself a beginner-friendly Game Master, and I’m passionate about introducing as many people as possible to the joy of roleplaying games.

Creating your character
There will be a free session 0 where we can talk about character creation. However, if questions arise before this session, I will be available in Discord.
For this campaign, we'll be using the 2024 rules, but if you prefer to create your character using the 2014 rules, just let me know in advance and we can talk about it.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You will need a D&D Beyond and a Discord account and a mic so we can talk to eachother.
What Joe brings to the table
I usually stick to the rules, but not so strictly. My goal is to make the sessions fun for you. I'm a roleplaying-oriented GM, but that doesn't exclude combat, especially in dungeon crawlers. As for the tools, the adventures are basically dungeon crawlers. I used the maps from the book and made them in Dungeon Alchemist. We'll be using Foundry VTT for the games D&D Beyond for character creation (I can share all my content with you) Discord for communication and atmosphere
