About the adventure
Venture into the deadliest jungle in all of Faerûn with a veteran DM who's been crafting unforgettable D&D experiences since 1996. This isn't just Tomb of Annihilation—it's a completely reimagined epic that transforms the original adventure into a sprawling narrative of ancient secrets, forgotten civilizations, and world-ending threats. **Key Expansions & Changes:** * Completely Reimagined Beginning: Start your adventure in Baldur's Gate, brave a treacherous sea voyage plagued by pirates, and survive a shipwreck before even setting foot in Chult * The Lifestone Mystery: Discover a mysterious new mineral with incredible necromantic potential that has drawn factions from across Faerûn to Chult's shores * Enhanced Port Nyanzaru: Experience extensive adventures, faction intrigue, and city exploration BEFORE the Death Curse even begins * Vastly Expanded Locations: Iconic sites, including Mezro, Camp Vengeance, Camp Righteous, Omu, the Fane of the Night Serpent, and Yellyark, have been greatly expanded with rich detail and meaningful encounters * Early Yuan-Ti Threat: Face serpentine dangers much earlier as their schemes unfold around Port Nyanzaru * Faction Warfare: Choose your allegiances wisely among the Merchant Princes, Melairkyn Clan, Harpers, Zhentarim, Order of the Gauntlet, Emerald Enclave, and Lord's Alliance * Base Building: Establish and develop your own outpost as you explore deeper into the jungle * Reworked Tomb: Experience a more coherent Tomb of the Nine Gods with challenging yet fair encounters replacing some of the original's arbitrary lethality * Beyond the Death Curse: After defeating the initial threat, embark on an epic plane-hopping adventure that reimagines the classic Return to the Tomb of Horrors, taking you far beyond the original campaign's scope

About me
G'day! My name is Chris and I have been DMing games of Dungeons & Dragons for 26 years. I am a professional GameMaster running 40+ hours of PF1e and PF2e every week, with more than 50 paying customers spread across ten weekly campaigns. Not only do I have a pro subscription on Roll20, but I also own every available Roll20 resource for D&D 5e. I also own five Foundry VTT licenses with Forge hosting. Additionally, I have an extensive collection of tokens, a massive collection of high-quality battle maps, custom status tokens, a Syrinscape subscription, a private Discord server with a thriving community of more than 70 players, and a truly colossal collection of third-party reference materials (over 1,000 titles).

What Chris brings to the table
**Premium Production Values:** * Professional Voice Acting: As a trained actor with voice acting experience, I bring NPCs to life with distinct voices and personalities * Custom Battlemaps: Enjoy beautifully crafted, dynamically lit battlemaps featuring work from Cze and Peku, Heroic Maps, and other premium creators * Immersive Audio: Experience Chult's atmosphere through premium Syrinscape soundscapes * Handcrafted Landing Pages: Begin each session with beautiful custom landing pages complete with soundtracks from artists like Will Sorvino * Detailed Handouts: Every creature, magic item, and location comes with custom handouts to bring the world to life * Comprehensive Session Notes: Each 4-hour session is followed by an approximately 1,000-word writeup to help you keep track of your adventures **About Your DM:** I've been a Dungeon Master since 1996 and have run D&D professionally full-time since 2020, guiding players through approximately 40 hours of adventure weekly. My story-first approach prioritizes character development, immersive exploration, and challenging-but-conquerable encounters—all seasoned with well-timed humour that enhances rather than undermines the experience. I've previously run Tomb of Annihilation four times, completing it twice, and coming close on the other two occasions. **Enhanced Gameplay Systems:** * Character Progression: Enjoy horizontal character development using Dragonix's Character Options: Talents supplement * Monster Enhancements: Face creatures enhanced with multiple premium supplements, including Bloodied & Bruised, Home Field Advantage, Monster Talents, Monster Manual Expanded, Recharged, and Monster Loot * Balanced Challenge: Experience encounters designed to push your characters to their limits while providing opportunities for creative solutions and heroic moments
