The Slimey Acid Tavern

About the adventure

What separates this game from the hundreds of others? • Open rolls, always: no fudging, no safety rails. The dice giveth and the dice taketh away. • Party is currently Level 10: skip the tutorial levels and play with the real toys. • Territory ownership & world impact; the party claims land, builds it, defends it, and changes the map. • Bountiful magical items: heroic deeds yield heroic mountains of treasure. • Experienced DM: Suffering since 1989, starting with the Rules Cyclopedia. • Table fit matters: new applicants are interviewed before their first session to ensure a good fit for the group. • One-on-one character creation time with the DM: ensure your character has real roots, goals, and reasons to be here. Party currently consists of a Dragonborn Paladin of Vengeance, an Elf Druid of Wildfire, a Kobold Arcane Trickster, and a Gnome Artificer Battle Smith. The current long-term quest of the party is to gather the materials and expertise to craft an elemental gem that could free the party’s paladin from a curse. The accomplishments of the party include: • Exposed a pretender to a duchy, rescued the true noble from their goblinoid captors, and been highly rewarded for it. • Due to a bit too much alcohol, agreed to a task of collecting a debt from a dealer of magical goods. Through clever negotiation and empathy, they resolved the task without violence and made friends all around. • Investigated a temple of fire cultists while in search for an elemental crystal. They wound up joining and reforming the cult into a tax-paying political special interest group. • Searched an ancient ruin for a fabled treasure horde, and emerged battered, bruised, and blinged out in a Scrooge McDuck worth of treasure. • Worked with contractors and experts to develop their bestowed lands, choosing who they want to bring in and what purpose will be served. • Obtained hirelings that they’ve invested in training and equipping to aid their future endeavors. • Currently in desert ruins searching for the alleged lair of a blue dragon that may possess one of the elemental crystals they seek. • Slaughtered the heck out of water cultists in ways that will confuse future archaeologists. • Inflicted at seventeen gray hairs on the DM, 8 on the head and 9 in the beard. About the world In the myth-scarred world of Vhalstaug, magic is wild, consequences are real, and player choices reshape the setting in lasting ways. This is a high-agency Dungeons & Dragons campaign for players who enjoy tactical combat, clear stakes, and seeing their decisions echoed back at them in the world. Combat is cinematic and efficient, exploration is rewarded, and the story advances because the party acts, not because the DM nudges it along. https://app.roll20.net/join/19549311/VGzJTg We play every sunday :-)
