About the adventure
Many adventurers dive into the depths of Undermountain, the mega-dungeon that sits beneath the city of Waterdeep. Some return with treasure and tales of danger. Most don’t return at all. The dungeon’s entrance sits in the center of the Yawning Portal, enticing adventurers to come and test their mettle against the many dangers that lie beneath. You and a party of fellow adventurers have decided to enter the mega dungeon, but this journey will not be easy. There’s a conspiracy developing in the halls and caverns of Undermountain, one that could pose a threat to the very city of Waterdeep itself. As you delve deeper into the tunnels, you’ll find that there’s more at stake than some treasure. ⚔ Cross blades with the many denizens of Undermountain, fighting for treasure and survival ⚙ Solve puzzles and avoid traps that will test your mind and your survival skills ⛰ Journey to the deepest levels of Undermountain and confront Halaster, the twisted mage who made this place

About me
Hello, I've been a Game Master for 15 years, and have experience running many systems. I've ran games for friends for years and have GM'd games at conventions, introducing players to a myriad of games. I'm comfortable to run games for beginners who would like to learn more about Role Playing or specific game systems, and I'm comfortable running games for experienced players. I love running games and working with players to help craft the experience that they want.

Third-party content and other setting content is potentially allowed; please message me to review. Homebrew content is disallowed. - Level: We'll be starting at Level 5 - Stats: Point-buy, standard array, or rolling (your choice) - Gold and Starting Equipment: As normal during character creation, with additional gold to reflect starting at a higher level (magic items cannot be purchased at character creation) Notice: If joining this campaign after the session 0, characters must be created at least an hour before start time.

What Rob brings to the table
As a GM, I let my players take the charge and see my job as responding to their input. You drive the adventure, and I'll be here to give the setting and the the NPCs life. Together we'll craft the story. I tend to follow the rules, but will let players go beyond the rules to do cool things. I reward playing your character narratively. Even though this is a dungeon delve, I will still provide opportunities for roleplay.

How Rob creates a safe table
We will be using Lines & Veils and X cards to maintain player safety. We'll also have a section at the end of each session where players can give each other stars for great roleplay, and wishes for what they'd like to see in future sessions.
