Curses! - A comedy with bite (Learn to play!)
"Bandits on the road" is where we start - nothing to see here! - but then the game grows tentacles and attempts to eat you. Yep, the game is a mimic.

About the adventure
The remote town of Wallop-on-Snoring (located inconveniently far from Baldur's Gate) has been cursed with compulsory honesty. Alas, you were standing in it at the time. Delve into the town's many secrets as you work on breaking the curse, and good luck trying to hang onto your own! Extreme social awkwardness is hardly the town's only problem: something sinister and infernal appears to have sunk its claws into the town's very foundations. Expect lots of roleplay opportunities, a dollop of dungeon-crawling, and narrative shenanigans aplenty. - Tour several D&D campaign settings and chitchat with unspeakable horrors! - Mustache-twirling villains! Predatory real estate transactions! Moments of tonal whiplash! - An absurdist campaign that takes adventurers from level 1 to... well, we'll see. 8? 10? 12? That'll depend on the choices you make. - Numerous fun surprises that make it really hard to write an ad without ruining it for you!

About me
I'm Adam (he/him, 🏳️🌈), and I try to run the sort of games I want to play in. I don't enable "Instant Booking" on my campaigns: if you're part of one of my tables, I'm not going to spring an unvetted new player on you. I'll run any potential new players by the group to get a sense of whether it's a good fit. My players' characters pretty much live in my head. I spend a lot of time thinking about their stories, about how to make backstories campaign-relevant, and strategizing how to provide satisfying challenges for them. I play the long game and I'm all about the little details, leaving both clues and little jokes for observant players to notice. I also know to check my privilege because I'm white and cisgender-male. I'm a cat dad, and you may see my Purrtato's tail on-cam from time to time. I moved to the west coast years ago, where I found my community through running D&D games. I didn't know I had a talent for voices until I started playing D&D 3.5 and felt emboldened by another shameless roleplayer at the table. I'd love to give other people a platform for finding and using their voices.

Creating your character
We're creating our characters in Roll20 instead of D&D Beyond, and drawing from the WotC-published 2024 character options. If you're joining my Sunday campaign, your character will start at 4rd level. My existing players rolled for stats on my Discord, but you can also choose point-buy or the standard array if you prefer. Get in touch with me ASAP so we can talk about your character's story and how they might join the adventure. The campaign has also moved forward from what's in the initial description, and I can get you up to speed.
Our party is the Book Club: a bookish rogue, an equally bookish wizard, a cleric of the god of literacy, and a bard with a valid library card. Three humans and a tiefling. All the players are relatively new to playing D&D, so we're pacing things a little deliberately. Mechanics aside, however, this is a cool bunch I'm excited to run a game for. So who would you like to be?
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You'll need a working mic, webcam, and headphones. Please also have accounts with D&D Beyond, Discord, and Roll20, as well as install the Beyond20 browser extension. If you've already created a character, please send me a D&D Beyond link so we can add them to the campaign. If you'd prefer to jump in with one of the pre-generated characters, just click the Claim button next to the one you're choosing once you've joined the campaign, or message me and we can work on a creating a character together.
What Adam (Is Up To Something) brings to the table
Custom maps, original artwork, atmospheric music, a range of NPC voices, and a campaign I'd personally want to play through if I hadn't written it.
Homebrew rules
I'm mostly avoiding house-ruling with the 5.5e rules until I have a clearer sense of what could use some adjustment. The one exception is that you have the option of having me roll for you when your success or failure wouldn't be immediately apparent to you, in order to increase immersion.

How Adam (Is Up To Something) creates a safe table
This is D&D: players can expect things to try to kill their characters in-between the jokes. We'll be taking at least one break per game; more, if folks request it. We'll work out our content guidelines together during session 0.
