About the adventure
Embark upon Faerûn’s shifting sands and snow‑capped peaks, where the whisper of ancient ruins and the calls of warbands beckon the bold. Your party rises from obscurity, each adventurer driven by a unique purpose—be it fortune, fame, redemption, or secrets yet unknown. From the sword‑lined streets of Waterdeep to the shadowy depths of the Underdark, every choice carves your legend into the very map of Toril. As fortunes shift and alliances shift with them, the only limit is the reach of your ambition. Forge your own path in this sandbox, open-world campaign: mingle with the Harpers in Neverwinter or broker pacts with Zhentarim lords along the Shadow Coast. Choose your allies, define your goals, and let the tides of magic and politics guide—or challenge—you. With no capstone to your journey, ascend to face draconic overlords in the Mountains of Ice or unravel planar mysteries in far realms beyond the Sea of Fallen Stars. Every milestone you conquer unveils fresh roads to travel and legends to claim. Answer the call, heroes: Faerûn awaits your story—boldly chart its course, and let your deeds echo through its ages. _____________________________________________ For details on the current adventure and party makeup, please scroll down further to the PARTY NOTES section for details. This campaign is player-driven. It will contain a list of adventures that are home-brewed mixed with some classic modules retrofitted for the 5.5e rules. Should you wish to create detailed character backgrounds, these could be leveraged to impact the story arc and character development if the player opts-in to this. Any new players who sign-up will be provided information from the DM to catch them up to the campaign and ensure we seamlessly work in their new character in a manner that satisfies the campaign and the player's character arch development to their satisfaction.

About me
If you’ve ever lost yourself in the pages of a fantasy book, or watched heroes clash steel beneath storm-dark skies, then you already know the call. That deep, undeniable yearning to step into the story—not just read it. To feel the weight of a sword in your hand, or trace your fingers over the brittle vellum of an ancient spellbook. To behold mountains that scrape the heavens, and to ride snarling beasts through emerald forests older than time. I consider being a DM calling of which I will be forever greatful. If you come away feeling like you were immesed into a story and felt the catharsis only swords and socery provide, then I know I did my job.

What to expect
Preparing for the session
• A free DnD Beyond account is required. • A free Discord account is required to join my Discord sever. • A computer with a microphone is required. • A very strong internet connection is required. • A computer with a camera is optional. • Please disable any browser components used for 3rd party VTT connectivity to DnD Beyond to lessen technical issues during gameplay (e.g. Beyond20 is not needed). We will be using DnD Beyond Maps that are fully intergated with your DnD Beyond Charators created, ensuring a smooth experience that is focused more on the action and less on technical issues. Great for people new to the VTT experience.
What Oscar (Starwood Adventures) brings to the table
• All 2024 digital sourcebooks (Player's Handbook, Dungeon Master's Guide, Monster Manual + some expanded books) will be provided once you have joined the DnD Beyond Campaign. • I use music and sound effects to help build the experience. The focus is always on story first, mechanics second. I take character backgrounds into account where it makes sense in the story if I can. • I use NotesBot for all sessions that allow for the auto transcribing of notes, look, and summary of the current session as well as actions needed for future sessions. This provides players more time playing and less time doing menial tasks. All notes are saved and available 24x7. • For those joining the campaign in progress, I will offer a 30m catchup session "0" and also discuss any campaign questions. • Most games will always aspire to provide an equal balance of every areas of enjoyment - combat, puzzles, and role play. I try to ensure there is something in every adventure for everyone, and will alway try to ensure everyone is getting attention and being heard. I use elements of sound effects and music to set the mood and align with the action. Using DnD Beyond's platform means a solid, consistant, and simple experience that you won't find with other VTT systems which are complex and often buggy.
