About the adventure
This is a cool adventure module designed to be challenging to players who have some experience with the D&D system. It takes elements from an earlier adventure and brings them into a brand new story set on the jungle pennisula of Chult in the Forgotten Realms setting. (You don't need Realmlore or real foreknowledge to take part here, just a grounding in the game mechanics.) Your characters are investigating the mysterious "death curse", an affliction affecting humanoid mortals. Rumor and patron will introduce the characters to their environment, starting out inexperienced and making their bones out amongst the vines and the vipers. This adventure usually takes anywhere between 30 - 50 sessions, depending on side quests and character backstories, and will ultimately take the characters into a dungeon crawl where their wits and their talents will mean the difference between life and success, and undeath due to failure. This game may incur character loss, and players are advised to take this into account when creating your characters. Please consider them with all seriousness due the world and the story, and with all kindness due from us as the arbiters of their fates.

About me
For me, life is about playing games. Full stop. Take away everything else, the need to eat, sleep, and breathe, and you're left with fields of time with a creative mind ready to actively imagine something to fill all of that open space up with; that's where I come in. Together, we can create an experience that is fun, meaningful, and engaging, with moments of thrilling excitement and wonderful opportunities to discover a world previously unknown.
