About the adventure
Deep in the wild jungles of Chult, a terrible curse is spreading across the world. People who were once brought back from the dead are slowly wasting away—and no magic can stop it. Rumors point to a forgotten ruin known only as the lost city of Omu, a deadly place filled with traps, monsters, and secrets. Your group will journey through undead and dinosaur-filled jungles, explore lost temples, and uncover ancient mysteries, all while racing against time to end the curse before someone you care about disappears forever. This adventure is perfect for brand-new players or veterans alike. You don’t need to know any rules ahead of time—we’ll explain everything as we go. Your choices drive the story, whether that means negotiating with stubborn merchant princes, racing across the jungle on canoes, or fighting undead tyrannosaurs that stalk the night. Bring your curiosity, your courage, and maybe an extra torch. The jungle is calling—and the Tomb is waiting.

About me
Hello. My name is Spence. One shots are cool but I prefer a campaign that lasts months or years and on... Cliffhangers and good storylines to keep up the intensity. I've been playing since I was a teen and running games for the past 6 years.

Creating your character
Characters will be created before Session 1 using D&D Beyond. I’ll send everyone a campaign link—once you join, you’ll build your character directly in the campaign using the character builder. Game System: We will be using the latest 5.5e rules updates (as supported on D&D Beyond), including revised classes and mechanics. Starting Level: Level 1 Ability Scores: Use Standard Array or Point Buy (no rolled stats). Source Material: All official published WotC books are allowed. No third-party or homebrew without approval. Starting Equipment: Choose Starting Equipment (not starting gold). If you're new to D&D Beyond or new to D&D in general, I’ll gladly guide you through character creation. Just bring an idea, and we’ll shape it into a hero ready to face the dangers of the jungle.
