About the adventure
📜THE HOOK📜 Deep in the jungles of Chult, something is twisting death itself. Is it a plague? A curse? Or something worse...? Sharpen your machete, brew some insect repellent, and find out! SPECIAL NOTE: I hand out Heroic Inspiration for puns. For new folks, that means 'crack jokes and you get bonuses.' No promises I'll have brain bandwidth for my own puns, so I'll be relying on you, the players, for all our glorious groans. DO YOU WANT TO... 🏛️ explore forgotten ruins? 😎 roleplay your way out of (or into) trouble? ⚔️ engage in challenging tactical combats? 🎓 get some experience with D&D or Foundry? Heck yeah, you do. Sign up! Or drop me a line if you're interested. ~Karen (heysparky)

About me
"What do you do?" is one of the most magical phrases in all of gaming. I've been playing and running tabletop games since the D&D cartoon aired. D&D in particular, even as a flawed system in its many iterations, has been a decades long golden thread connecting great things in my life. One of my first jobs was at a game store and I remember selling a Concerned Mom on the magic of D&D based on its promise of social engagement, math, and creativity all in a bundle. I stand by that decades later. Systems I've loved: - Bunnies & Burrows - Palladium's TMNT - Shadowrun - D&D 2e, 4e, 5e, 5.5e D&D in every incarnation has held a special place in my heart. Let's play!
View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
Have a plan for 2nd, 3rd, and 5th level starts. Regardless of what level we start, create your character with a standard array using the following resources: - Core 5.5e books - Eberron: Forge of the Artificer (without Dragonmark Feats) - Heroes of Faerun - Ravenloft: Horrors Within - Arcana Unleashed - Other or homebrew species considered on a case-by-case basis We will create (or recreate) your character from scratch in Foundry to take advantage of the Foundry-native implementations of those books. If any of these concepts are mysterious and you'd like some help making a character, let me know! Making characters is fun!

Safety
How heysparky (Karen) creates a safe table
SAFETY: Hybrid Lines & Veils / Monte Cook RPG Consent Checklist: Before Session 0, I'll collect completed checklists so that I can modify the campaign in anyway needed to make sure my table is fun and safe for everyone. Session 0: We'll start off by getting to know each other, setting expectations, code of conduct type stuff, and of course, making characters. Breaks: Say 'Pause' if you need a moment - please feel free to contact me individually or simply step away, we'll break for 3-5 minutes (if everyone is back after 3 minutes, we'll resume); if you need longer, please let me know. Stars & Wishes: After each session, we'll spend a few minutes discussing the adventure to make sure we do more of what we're enjoying and less of what we're not.
