About the adventure
$10 OFF LIMITED TIME! ONE-SHOT FORMAT I will run a series of one-shots Monday through Thursday so that Players can jump in and out at their convenience. But if you stick around (and survive) you will play through a progression of Adventure Modules of increasing difficulty and rewards! The Queen's Onyx Jubilee is set to begin, marking the 95th year of the merciful monarch's glorious reign. While the entire realm celebrates the good fortune of their long-lived sovereign, a group of common villagers fights to stay alive. For them, the festivities have become a nightmare, as the sounds of revelry are replaced by screams of terror - their own! This is a ZERO-LEVEL DCC adventure intended for twelve or more Characters. Each Player will begin play with three or four randomly-generated Characters, depending on group size, and only the strongest will survive to become Level One Heroes! Dungeon Crawl Classics is a Role Playing Game of Glory and Gold won by Sorcery and Sword! You're no hero. You're an adventurer: a reaver, a cutpurse, a heathen-slayer, a tight-lipped warlock guarding long-dead secrets. You seek gold and glory, winning it with sword and spell, caked in the blood and filth of the weak, the dark, the demons, and the vanquished. There are treasures to be won deep underneath, and you shall have them... DCC RPG is a complete role playing game of 1970's fantasy. This particular adventure module is written by Marzio Muscedere and inspired by the works of Clark Ashton Smith and H.P. Lovecraft. This module should take only two sessions to complete, after which the survivors will gain their first hero level and begin a new adventure - for gold and glory! I will run a series of one-shots Monday through Thursday so that Players can jump in and out at their convenience. But if you stick around you will play through a progression of Adventure Modules of increasing difficulty and rewards!

About me
Hi, I'm the Solar Jedi! I go by Solar, Jedi, GM or DM, (or Gregg). I am the head proprietor of Sixth Planet, my online gaming group and related store. I have been playing D&D for over three decades now! My favorite thing about D&D is the idea of creating a shared story together, which as a pass-time, has just narrowly avoided becoming a lost art! I am a fan of classic High Fantasy D&D, with settings similar to Faerun, Greyhawk, Dragonlance and the like. Conan meets Beastmaster meets LotR. I like to provide a balance of Role Playing, Exploration, and of course, Combat! I do character voices and accents and have been known to sing a sea shanty on a special occasion! I am a collector of fantasy miniatures and terrain for use with my games. I have thousands of miniatures, from tiny to colossal! I also craft, 3d print and paint. I enjoy setting up huge and immersive 3D scenes for my games! We have played in the dungeons beneath Waterdeep, in jungle terrain along the Sword Coast, in the frozen wastelands of the North and in the fiery depths of the Abyss! I typically utilize D&D Beyond and Discord to facilitate my games. When using 3D terrain I stream two cameras on the terrain and one on me! Check out my Adventure Page at - https://www.sixthplanet.us

What Solar Jedi brings to the table
I will create an immersive role-playing experience, using a combination of VTT (Virtual Table Top) and real 3-D fantasy miniatures and terrain. I will stream two cameras on the terrain and one on me (as bandwidth permits). I bring over three decades of experience as both Player and Dungeon Master. I roleplay NPCs with voices/accents! (I've been known to sing the rare sea shanty!) _________________________________ I look forward to being your host!

How Solar Jedi creates a safe table
We will include a quick Session Zero as part of the first session, in which we will create characters and discuss rules, as this is a new game to many. Don't be intimidated by character creation, or by playing multiple characters - some of them will die pretty quick! That's simply the brutal nature of DCC.. and it's an absolute blast!
