About the adventure

Begin as captives of the drow and plot your escape into the unforgiving and hostile Underdark, explore and survive as you visit iconic locations and unearth secrets not meant for the mortal realm. This campaign will use the module Out Of The Abyss as its framework but will have several homebrew deviations to create a more adaptable experience based on player feedback and to create a more fluid narrative that player choice can guide.

About me

Hi! I'm a comedian and nerd that loves to play Dungeons & Dragons. I tour across the country DMing a live comedy game featuring comedians as players. I love big and dynamic games where players get to have fun and enjoy their time laughing and having a great experience.

Character creation

Creating your character

Players will create a level one character using Standard Array in the custom campaign provided. Some tweaks to backstory and conversation around your preferred character arc may occur before or during the session zero. Please do not refer to the Out Of The Abyss module when making a character. If you are unfamiliar or would like help creating your character, we can do that during the session zero. Players will use the 2024 Player's Handbook for creating their level 1 character.

What to expect

Preparing for the session

Players will need a mic (webcam preferred but not required). A D&D Beyond account (Free is fine) as well as a discord account are also required. This campaign is beginner friendly, so you are not required to know all of, or even any, of the rules of D&D 5E, as I am happy to help work with you to learn the system.

What Cavin Eggleston brings to the table

We will use D&D Beyond and D&D Beyond Maps to create our characters and as a VTT. Content will be shared via a custom campaign on D&D Beyond. We will use discord for communicating and will also use OBS to share graphics and music with players as the game is played. I greatly value player creativity and approach most games with a Rule of Cool mentality that encourages unique approaches to the game. I especially believe in mixing evocative descriptions and storytelling with player guided decisions and love to create improv'd scenarios and experiences based on player feedback and interest.

Drinking potions as a bonus action.

Safety

How Cavin Eggleston creates a safe table

Out Of The Abyss deals with mature themes and elements of survival horror. To help make for a fun and enjoyable experience while engaging with these mature themes, a survey and session zero before the campaign begins will occur. These will be useful in setting expectations and boundaries for players and the game master. We will also use an X,N, and O system during play to help make sure in the moment decisions and player experience is at the forefront during events in the plot as not everyone may know what they are comfortable with before the session or before an event occurs.
