The Eternal Cities | Elden Ring D&D 5E
The Company of the Fallen Hawks launches an expedition into the Eternal Cities, deep underground, with no intention to return unscathed.
About the adventure
Welcome to the Eternal Cities, deep underground, with a false night sky, inverted architecture hanging from the cavern roofs, and creatures with ties to the celestial bodies. The players will play as members of the Company of the Fallen Hawk, being tasked, out of their own volition or not, to explore the Eternal Cities underground on behalf of the dominant Golden Order above. Your expedition have left the familiar world of sunlight and warmth behind. Search for an ancient artifact on behalf of an uncaring patron, or simply for a way out. This campaign will be focused on exploration and survival in a hostile environment, with a high emphasis on combat, with relatively lower emphasis on puzzle-solving. This game is intended for players with low to medium level of experience with D&D 5th edition. Unlike classical DnD campaigns, some rules will be adjusted to better suit the unique setting. With respect to the story of the adventure itself, it will be a nonlinear story where the players can decide what their goals are and make their own path.

About me
Hi all, my name is Peter (he/him/his). I am a DM by day, therapist by night, DM again by later night. I started playing TTRPGs in college where I fell in love with the aspect of collaborative storytelling, which I found to be more compelling and free than other art forms. I also found the therapeutic and healing nature of creating a story and embodiment of ourselves within the story. I enjoy all different genres, from urban fantasy to gothic horror to space opera. I run most games in D&D 5e, but am also open to running in other systems based on the appropriate focus of the game. I enjoy experimenting with different styles of gameplay, and none of my campaigns have ever felt the same. Some focus on exploration, others on strategy, others on social intrigue, or mystery solving. At university, I host a workshop series for new players and new DMs where we run adventures focused on honing our skills and learning about different mechanics of game design. I am also interested in introducing culturally diverse inspirations in my games. As a enthusiast for world mythology and folklore (with certain academic background), I try to study up and incorporate folkloric themes, mostly from my native East Asia, but also from ancient Egypt, medieval Scandinavia, and any other source that I can learn enough to be respectfully informed about.

New review
I have had Peter as a GM for 2 years now for two different year-long campaigns! Peter is such a great GM, he weaves a really great story and I ALWAYS look forward to our weekly sessions. Peter is great at improv and handling unexpected player decisions and cool story moments, he somehow always has the perfect music queued, and really does a great job painting the world through visuals and words. Additionally, the effort the players put into building their character background is really rewarded - Peter always gives every character their moment and incorporates characters' histories into the story. Not to mention that Peter creates a very safe and welcoming environment, he always maintains and encourages open lines of communication! If you get the chance to join a game hosted by Peter - TAKE IT!! You will have an amazing time :))

Peter puts a ton of care into his games, especially when it comes to integrating pc storylines into the general plot and facilitating pc interaction. 10/10

A very good storyteller for Icewind Dale! He is a very open minded DM who has no trouble incorporating PC backstories into the main storyline.

I'm super grateful to have Peter as the DM for my very first DnD campaign! His detailed storytelling really immerses you in the world and brings life to the NPCs, and he allows for super fun Yes/And shenanigans as well.

I've only been playing DnD for a bit now, but I can still say Peter has been one of my favorite DMs to play with thus far. He's the type of DM that wants their players to both succeed and have fun and he definitely works for it to that end.
A singular bagel bite
I have been a part of several of Peter’s in-person campaigns, both as a player and behind the scenes. He is incredibly attentive to detail, and works hard to set the scene—from playing thematic music and voicing characters, to incorporating hand-drawn maps and illustrations. He strongly encourages exploration, and often incorporates exciting and sophisticated homebrew creations. Peter is also a welcoming and patient teacher, and loves to help new players get on their feet. His campaigns are very beginner friendly, though he does tend to leave quests open-ended. He is easygoing and receptive to feedback, and good at making quick adjustments to his play style. Overall, I would most strongly recommend him for players who are interested in thorough world building, and learning and experimenting with new ideas.
Character creation
Creating your character
I will host a (free) session 0 where character creation is done together, along with discussions of safety, content inclusion/exclusion, home rules, and a short intro to the world and expectation of the adventure. Player characters will start at level 1, and any officially published DnD 5e material is acceptable, though I will explain some adjustments for the campaign setting, as well as new content I made just for this setting (such as playable species/races). If you wish to use other published content, or popular homebrew content, you can reach out and discuss the balance and make sure all players are okay with it (i.e. it's not automatically accepted but we can work things out). You can use any of the three main methods of creating stats: standard array, point-buy, and rolling. For rolling stats, roll 4d6 and keep the highest 3, while re-rolling any and all 1s. Note I may ask you to re-roll stats if they are exceptionally high (or low). Since this is a combat-focused campaign, I encourage players to pay some attention to the power levels of their characters so they are not too weak. I will, of course, still balance encounters with the players in mind.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
The only requirement is a microphone. Webcam is highly encouraged, so is making an account on the websites we will be using, most likely Roll20 but we may also use Owlbear Rodeo, or Zoom, depending on the preferences of the players. It is also preferred to have a copy of the Player's Handbook, though not a strict requirement (reach out to me for resources if you need). We will create characters together during session 0.
What TheRealPeterPan brings to the table
The game will be mostly custom made and run over Roll20. Players are welcome to use character sheets on D&D Beyond and other platforms to help their gameplay. I will use homemade maps or others I bought online, while also making custom tokens and art. As a DM I am generally very flexible with rules, preferring ingenuity and creativity over rules-as-written playstyles. I also have a list of home-rules that I will send to all player before first session to review and discuss, same with a list of topics that players can choose their comfort level. I will not include any content that would make any player uncomfortable.
Homebrew rules
Homebrew rules will be shared with players at session 0 where we can all discuss which ones we want to keep, which ones we want to ignore.

Safety
How TheRealPeterPan creates a safe table
I will send out a survey asking player's level of comfort with a list of possible topics, and I will adjust the game accordingly. I will not include any topic as long as one player marks it as strictly off-limits. For more ambiguous topics, I will lead a discussion during session 0 about how these topics can or cannot be included. I will give examples with varying levels of detail and the group will decide together on an acceptable level. During the campaign I will ask for regular feedback where players can express any concerns after each session. During the session, if a topic appears players can privately message me and I will call a brief break where we can discuss how to proceed.
