About the adventure
Beyond the walls of the Free City of Greyhawk awaits a world of ancient secrets and hidden treasures, all waiting for the bravest of adventurers to lay their claim upon in order to grow their fame, wealth, and glory. But only the most daring of explorers should venture forth, for hidden terrors prowl the land beyond civilization's walls, treasures are are guarded by fearsome protectors, and not all secrets should be shared. *Secrets of Greyhawk* is an open-ended, sandbox-style campaign for D&D 5e. Players will explore the world outside the walls of their civilized home while dealing with political entanglements and intrigue with the Free City itself. Characters will begin at first level in a campaign expected to advance to 20th level as long as there are tales to tell. This game will use the 2024 core rulebooks only.

About me
I found my first Players Handbook under the Xmas tree long before they started numbering the various editions of any of these games, and have been playing ever since. I started DMing regularly for family and friends ten years ago, and soon branched out to offering games online, first as a side hustle and then as a full-time occupation. I like to explore every pillar of game play and have a particular liking for mysteries and puzzles, but I certainly know when it's time to roll dice and crunch monsters as well.
View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
Character creation and any game-related communication and preparation conducted in Discord game channel in days leading up to first game session to afford plenty of opportunity for preparation before play commences in first game session.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Character should be ready for first session of game. Webcam optional (DM often uses one, but it is not required for players). Game audio and other game related communication takes place via Discord.
What Craig brings to the table
Games will take place on Roll20 VTT with maps, all relevant resources available in game compendium, dynamic lighting and occasionally music. GM available for assistance with character creation.
Homebrew rules
Alternative Death Save rules: Failed Death Saves do not reset with healing, only with a long rest. This is to mitigate the jack-in-the-box effect of 5e healing, instead of allowing a character in a combat to pop up and down and up and down and up and down with no effects or consequences. Healing potions are a full action. Takes more than a bonus action to grab a potion from your pack/belt, uncork it, and guzzle it down!
