Tomb of Annihilation - Beginner Friendly - D&D 2024 Rules
A death curse grips the land, souls vanish, the dead can't be raised. A mysterious jungle calls. Find the source... or death comes for all.
About the adventure
A mysterious curse is spreading across the realms. Those who were once raised from the dead are now withering into dust, and resurrection magic itself has failed. The source? Whispers speak of a sinister artifact buried deep within the untamed jungles of Chult, a land of ancient secrets, primal gods, and death that watches from the trees. Welcome to Tomb of Annihilation, a dangerous, sprawling campaign of jungle exploration, treacherous politics, forgotten ruins, and the creeping dread of an inevitable end. In this game, survival is not guaranteed. Choices matter. The jungle is alive, and it will remember you. I run high-immersion, story-forward games tailored to bold roleplayers and curious explorers alike. Whether you’re new to D&D or a seasoned adventurer, you’ll find cinematic storytelling, thrilling combat, and a world that breathes beneath every decision you make. Expect moral dilemmas, ancient evils, and the constant threat of the unknown. Sharpen your blades. Mark your maps. The clock is ticking, and the dead are calling.

About me
Hello!! I decided to start hosting games because I love storytelling! I have been creating stories and worlds for as long as I can remember. I have been a GM/DM more often than a player. I have a very active creative mind. I love TTRPG's as a whole but found my passion running games. It has given my mind a perfect outlet. My worlds are a variety of fantasy themes from gothic horror, crystal punk and steampunk. I aim to have a welcoming place for anyone to play. I don't aim to kill any characters and look for ways so anyone can experience creativity and joy. I welcome any experience level, from beginners to experienced vets.

Creativity
The GM is very knowledgeable, friendly and patient. He was very gracious with my many questions and handled everything with ease. He was respectful and inquisitive; keeping myself and the others actively engaged in the game. I believe he is one of the nicest people I have played with and I look forward to playing with him again.
I've played with this GM for a long time. He has incredible world building and stories. He knows the rules, when to bend them, and truly listens to his players. He's great at answering questions and making sure everyone is on the same page. Bolasian creates a really fun environment to play in. Theres always a really good mix of story telling and dungeon diving/fighting. 10/10 DM.
