About the adventure

Something old just woke up. You’re already part of it. -Explore Wave Echo Cave. Find arcane ruins and lost power. -Choose your allies carefully. Some will stand with you. Some will stab you first chance they get. -Follow every clue. Each choice pulls you closer to a truth no one wanted to find. -Go deeper. Phandalin’s streets are just the beginning. Worse things wait below. This is a story about magic, legacy, and hard choices. Will you fight it—or fall with the rest? [[Beginner & LGBTQIA2S+ Friendly]] -------------------------- 📣See what Colleen has to say about my GM'ing: ⭐"Leland is absolutely amazing for first time players, and does a wonderful job at explaining how to play and is incredibly patient. It's a very comfortable atmosphere to be in and if you have triggers of any sorts Leland is very good at making sure you know that at any point you can voice your discomforts and there is absolutely no judgement. I highly recommend playing with Leland. It's a lot of fun, both in game and the community in general."

Gameplay details

I'll have everyone submit lines/veils/interests via DMs, then I will distribute a pdf document for the other players to have on hand or have it as a handout in the VTT of choice. Then we'll go over them during session 0, along with making characters and doing some collaborative storytelling to establish relationships between said characters. I typically post a custom agenda the day before session 0 begins.

How will character creation work

If you'd like to make a character in advance, the parameters are as follows. It must be made on Roll20 OR on DndBeyond + the Beyond20 extension if you're wanting to use the 2024 material exclusively, which is allowed, just not suggested: -Lvl (current campaign level, please ask) -Standard array ability scores -Starting equipment -Max HP at 1st level, average after that (fixed) -a bonus feat based on your background, using this guide: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ofgtj4c46M7hBe2eAViKh3ssXaXfhMdzZRgEe46Qolc/edit?usp=sharing -All WOTC content available in my roll20 library is available to make a character with, including 3rd party classes, subclasses, races, & spells from: Midgard Worldbook, Rise of the Drow, Chains of Asmodeus, Sebastian Crowe's guide to Drakkenheim, Dungeons of Drakkenheim, Southlands Player's Guide & Worldbook, Creature Codex, Tal'Dorei Campaign Setting Reborn, Deep Magic Vol. 1 & 2, The Beastheart & Monstrous Companions, The Illrigger, Empire of the Ghouls, Tome of Beasts 1, 2, & 3, Tome of Heroes, Flee Mortals, Underworld Player's Guide, Valda's Spire of Secrets, Vault of Magic, Wanderer's Guide to Enchanted Emporiums, Wanderer's Guide to Merchants and Magic, Wastes of Chaos, Where Evil Lives, Book of Ebon Tides, & Xanathar's Lost Notes to Everything Else. 127+ races. 41+ classes. Otherwise, I can personally get with anyone and help them in advance. I'd like to use session 0 to discuss safety, do some collaborative storytelling to establish relationships between PC's, and maybe even get intros to said characters. However, we will make it work!
