About the adventure
Iuz, known to most as "Old Wicked", gathers his forces in the north. His rival Vecna has taken notice. So has his mother Iggwilv and her mother Baba Yaga. Many other evil beings sense the coming chaos and prepare to seize power. The powers of good must assemble. New heroes must stand firm against the tides of chaos. The world depends on it. An anonymous being has chosen to search for heroes rather than waiting for them to spring forth. Letters have been sent to interesting prospects asking the recipients to meet in the Free City of Greyhawk to test their heroism. The letter promises honor, fame and glory to those that prove their valor. __________________________ ⚔ This campaign begins at level 5 and will continue to level 20. Players will control what missions are chosen and which threats they focus on. Many threats exist, making these choices have great impact on the end of the campaign ⚔

About me
Welcome! My name is Mae and I love creating memorable tabletop experiences. D&D was love at first sight for me. I watched a single episode of a stream and by the end of the week I had a DMG. Another week later and I was attacking my friends' characters with goblins as they tried to take some trade goods to Phandalin. That adventure and many more since then have helped me to learn about myself, support myself and follow my dreams. It brings me great joy to inspire creativity in others as our journeys cross paths above the board. Many of the aspects I now know about myself were learned through gaming. The freedom my initial DM provided allowed me to explore my identity. I embraced my queerness, gained confidence in my storytelling skills, came to understand the importance of safe spaces in fostering inner growth, and discovered that I love teamwork so long as proper boundaries are communicated. It is my goal to create a safe table so players can enjoy the very freedom that helped me to grow so much.

Creating your character
📚 D&D Beyond is preferred for character creation. Roll20 works as well. 🎭 Players may create level 5 characters of any official species and class. No Legacy content please. 2024 rules will be used. ⚔ Players can start with 1 Rare Item, 1 Uncommon Item, 2 Common Items and 500 gp. This can be spent prior to Session 1. 🎲We can start with this array (17, 16, 15, 13, 11, and 9) or have everyone roll one array during session 0 with the best array winning out. This is voted on during Session 0.
