About the adventure

LVLs 5-20 | Weekly Playthroughs | New Players Welcome! As the light from the Yawning Portal above you fades, your bravado fades with it; swallowed by the cramped darkness and choked silence of the shaft leading down. You're struggling to remind yourself why you signed up for this. The Undermountain? Really? Your shoulders jostle against those of your companions as the rickety platform continues its decent. Finally, after what seemed like an hour, your stomach retreats from your throat and you take the first breath you've been aware of since embarking on this foolishness. A clattering echo bounds out ahead of your group as the wooden platform on which you all stand makes contact with the slick, stone floor--a sobering effect. Steeling yourself, you step off of the platform. A symbolic departure--away from civilization and into--The Dungeon of the Mad Mage. Join Nightmares of the Roundtable as we embark on a journey through the notorious Undermountain! This adventure is designed for characters of 5th through 20th level. Delve the depths in search of treasure, trouble, and TOTAL POWER! How far will your group go?

About me

I'm a dad, book nerd and gamer with a huge love for Science Fiction and Fantasy. I've DM'd several home games over the last 5 years and look forward to running virtual campaigns. When I'm not running games or playing them, I love hitting the beach with my family, fishing and kayaking. Cancelation Policy StartPlaying has a 24 hour cancellation policy.

Joining Alex’s campaign was hands down the best choice I could have made, since before session 0 Alex has been there with any and all questions from character backstory and complete creation to the start of the campaign. Alex is creative and creates an immersive experience, I would highly recommend Alex to other players and will be participating in other projects he decides to run. He has been wonderful with the entire group ranging from brand new players to highly experienced veteran players.

Really stands out from other GMs at roleplaying the NPCs and adapting to player choices. Great interpretor of the rules to determine outcomes of player strategies, very inclusive of ideas and packs his sessions with a lot of great flavor, including awesome combat descriptions!

He encourages players participation from the full party, likes to have consistent maps/token use, and is not by any means a harsh dm. Alex works with you to have a fun game. A collaborative effort to play and keep track of the new edition rules and spells.

Such a fantastic DM! This is my first game playing, and he makes the entire process so welcoming and fun. From the start, he eased us into the game, creating a comfortable and engaging environment breaking the ice between players. He’s genuinely patient and takes time to teach the game mechanics, answering questions and ensuring everyone’s comfortable. He’s also great about checking in and making sure each player gets the most out of the experience, which I really appreciated. If you’re looking for someone who’s not only skilled but also cares about each player's experience, he’s the DM you want!
