About the adventure
Set within the Forgotten Realms city of Waterdeep. We are in the 2nd half of the campaign, now exploring Undermountian. The party learned of some secrets up in the Yawning Portal, and now they test their mettle in the depths of this expansive, labyrinth of a dungeon. Will they find treasure and glory, or will the madness of Undermountian take its toll?

About me
I am a long-time DM/GM/Storyteller and player since the mid-'90s. I have run a variety of games over the years both tabletop and online from Palladium Fantasy, Rifts, Heroes Unlimited, Word of Darkness with Werewolf the Apocalypse and Changeling the Dreaming, new Chronicles of Darkness for Hunter the Vigil and Changeling the Lost, and of course, D&D with 3.5 and 5th edition, mainly for the Eberron and Forgotten Realms settings and homebrew. I strive for role-playing and have run games that lean more combat-heavy or more RP-intensive, depending on who's at the table. So far, I have completed 4 Lost Mines of Phandelver adventures, 1 Dragons of Stormwreck Isle, 1 Dragon of Icespire Peak. 2 Tyranny of Dragons campaigns completed & 2 Eberron campaigns to level 20 completed. There are currently 4 other campaigns taking parties to 20th level and closing in on that milestone. I have several games a week I run for.
View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
Point Buy for character creation, character sheets will be stored on D&D Beyond where I can "collect" and look them over. Starting characters will be first level. Player's Guide, Fizban's, Sword Coast Adventurer's, Xanathar's, and Tasha's will be used for Character Creation. If there is something outside of that not mentioned such as Hollow One for example, just ask.

What to expect
Preparing for the session
Discord with mic and a quiet place where you will have minimal interruptions. If you want a physical copy of your character to print out at home, go for it. If you are using spells out of Xanathar's or Tasha's, remind me so I know where I'm looking,
What Anna brings to the table
I've got the adventure, I have many physical books and I am working to build a digital library to match. We will use the Avrai dice bot in Discord, it does connect with the Beyond die roller. Both can act as a backup to the other if there is ever any server/connection issues for the bot.
Homebrew rules
Homebrew rules are often clarifications and FAQs listed in the Discord channel. We stick to RAW/RAI as much as possible to be consistent, but you can always ask if something isn't clear.

How Anna creates a safe table
This is D&D, action-adventure. Bring your sense of adventure and willingness to explore and get into the story. As a DM I don't go for the Player vs DM mentality or players needing to antagonize each other because that's how someone is getting their fun. We are in a fantasy setting as such, I know we come here to escape the real world. But to a point, to make the fantasy have life, we'll do some of the nitty gritty, but not hardcore. I know we get attached to characters, especially the longer they're played, but I'm not going to go out of my way to kill a character, but I do have the many numerous nameless NPCs, antagonists, and monsters to run. I will begin the adventure if I have only one player to start as I find, if you build it, they will come. Don't hesitate to speak up. Life happens.
