About the adventure
Deep beneath the surface of Faerun is the Underdark. A realm of endless labyrinthine tunnels and caverns where the sun never shines. Filled with countless subterranean races and civilizations. You have found yourself kidnapped by a group of evil Drow. How will you escape and change the world forever? This is for players who want a dark and gritty high fantasy campaign like the first 2 Drizzt novels. No knowledge required, I can provide the lore. But they are awesome btw. Expect possible character death, madness, and laughs to go along. Not a romance adventure. Experience the good and evil factions of the Underdark in epic fashion. And eventually take on, the Prince of Demons, DEMOGORGON!!! š Campaign Detail: š² The first session 0 game is free and will only involve character creation, lines and veils, and setting up the parties backstory for the adventure.

About me
Looking for a memorable, fun and hilarious time? Look no further! I'm GM Jerry and I am the professional GM for for you. I started GMing with a group of friends. I then moved on to working Professionally with writing and designing TTRPGs for Dragon thrones the luxury LARP, RPG in a Castle and other mega games at Gencon. Sometimes running games for up to 50 people at once. 2 years ago I started on this site after ending my first complete online campaign. I recently completed my first campaign on startplaying from start to finish with some amazing people. I enjoy running games and teaching people the ropes. I use many custom items to bolster my games. I am talented with voices. You never had an experience with a hag or goblin until you played with me. That is just the beginning. I'm dedicated to weaving your characters backstory into the adventure, creating a truly customized experience that caters to your interests. Whether you want epic combat, an immersive experience, or some hilarious comedy. I don't delve to much into romance roleplay. I am more action and adventure. My games cover that epic experience and the rule of cool always trumps the rulebooks. My inclusive style guarantees an unforgettable experience for players of all backgrounds. Let's create an awesome world together.

Party currently has 1 spot open, the 7th spot is for a fill in, when one of the 6 skips a week. Currently Rogue, Warrior, Warlock, Wizard, and Cleric.

How Jerry creates a safe table
A typical session will involve everyone logging into discord then fantasy grounds. We will then recap the previous session. Each session will have a equal amount of exploration, roleplay, and combat. In session 0, we will discuss our limits/preferences and how we will express them. I enjoy doing voices for my npcs, to breathe life into them. I enjoy making things challenging. I want to get the adrenaline pumping. So character death can happen. I do not pull punches and let the dice fall where they may. Knowing when to run is one skill an adventurer must posses. Or knowing when not to pick a fight, instead use stealth or wits. While I generally stick to RAW, I'm a big fan of the rule of cool when it's appropriate. Your character can die in my game, but if they die to save another player. That sacrifice justifies a check passes. š House rules: š² A custom inspiration system where you earn points for good roleplay, doing a recap, having a great idea, or just making me laugh. Then spend the points to mitigate dice rolls in different ways. š² Custom crafting rules from the Armorers Handbook homebrew. Add mods to your weapons and armor. I try to make sure everyone gets a moment to shine and interact with things. Nothing makes me feel better, when a person breaks out of their shell. Feeling comfortable expressing their character. The game will be every Tuesday evening. And go from levels 1 - 13.
