About the adventure
If you're reading this, fantastic! That's really fantastic. Why? Because that means you stand valiantly on the precipice of the destruction of the Multiverse. But you are no chosen one or monologing villain, you are everyone and no one, for our organization is too secret to know. Treasure hunters, spies, information brokers, rumor mongers, negotiators, redistributors of power, locators of lost things and losers of found things. We keep the balance between the "Powers That Be", choosing neither of their sides but everyone else's side, for if either gains the upper hand, we will find ourselves in what begins with an "A" and ends in "pocalypse". So, accept this invitation into the infinite of the Multiverse, a genre spanning epic where one day you might be convincing an Earth Elemental to hold on to a legendary sword for a young squire to pull in the future, another day taking acquisition of a tome bound in flesh and written in blood to prevent an undead uprising and yet another day ensuring a derelict alien vessel makes a distress call to space fairing truckers so that they can get their "bonus". ―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― 🔔 This Game continues into Epic Level as the stakes naturally rise. Players can easily drop in and out, creating multiple Characters and concepts since each Assignment that is provided by the Middle may desire (or prefer) a particular set of skills and/or inclination.

About me
Fluent in GIFs and puns alike, I, as your GM, am here to bring your fantasies to reality. To craft a shared world where you can be the Hero (or Villain) you have always wanted to be. Whether that is with something prewritten or a custom creation where you are able to recreate your favorite Anime, Movie, TV Show, Video Game and so forth. If interested in my StartPlaying Credentials, I have been chosen to represent both 5th Edition and its 5.5e revisions during the following Events: 🏅 Players Handbook Celebration (2024) 🏅 Dungeon Master's Guide Celebration (2024) 🏅 Monster Manual Celebration (2025) So, with 1,000+ Paid Games under my belt, not a single TPK (or permanent Player Character Death) to date (despite keeping things challenging), a 5 Star Review Rating across the board and being chosen for a number of important StartPlaying Events, you can trust that you will have a satisfying D&D experience with a cooperative & knowledgable GM who will fulfill your desired experience at the Table.

Creating your character
Your Character Level is 19th. You do not pick a 5.5e Background; instead, you pick a pre-5.5e Background and an Origin (or any without a +1) Feat that makes sense for it. ―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― All official Class and Species options are available, including Third Parties on D&D Beyond. Should you desire something Homebrew and/or from a Third Party not yet on D&D Beyond, my approval is required and may be subject to modifications, should the selection be considered imbalanced i.e. too strong and/or too weak. The optional Rules of Multiclassing and Feats are allowed. Standard Array, Point Buy and Rolling are available for Ability Scores. If Rolling, you will Roll with me present. Additionally, should you choose to Roll, I have a Mulligan Rule allowing you to reroll one Roll or the entire set of Rolls should the odds not be in your favor. Keeping the final result. ―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― Additionally, you receive extra Items beyond the normal Starting Equipment that include: ▶️ 8 x Common Magic Items ▶️ 8 x Uncommon Magic Items ▶️ 8 x Rare Magic Items ▶️ 8 x Very Rare Magic Items ▶️ 6 x Legendary Magic Items ▶️ 6 x Downtime Activities (up to Legendary) ▶️ Pulling from the Deck of Many More Things. You can swap Magic Items for their value in GP, purchasing accordingly afterward. Common = 100 GP, Uncommon = 400 GP, Rare = 4,000 GP, Very Rare = 40,000 GP, Legendary = 400,000 GP; halved for Consumables. ⭐ There are Rules for Attuneless Magic Items. Inquire if interested.
Draven Anilradien (Aasimar Genie Warlock/Noble Genies Paladin), Nylyssa Journyman (Human Adventurers Bard/Banneret Fighter) and David Firewell (Goliath Street Saint Pugilist). The Party is currently in the Witchlight Carnival, where the attractions have come to life in both terrifying and humorous ways!

How BIG F@%KING SWORD creates a safe table
I will go over what to expect from the Game, recommend Types of Characters who will excel during it and offer guidance in general for Character Creation, as well as gauge interest in each Pillar of Play, plus more, so best to fit the Game to each Player's needs and wants. Additionally, I will go over D&D Beyond and AboveVTT for those unfamiliar with either platform.
