About the adventure
Welcome Heroes! The world has been struck with a terrible curse, rendering resurrection and all related magic useless. Not only that, but souls are being whisked away from their afterlives, making this a threat to mortal existence as a whole. The number of lives in danger, both living and not, is insurmountable. Countless experienced parties from nations across the globe have been sent to the jungles of Chult in search of an answer, only to never return. The land is rife with undead horrors, giant monsters, and endless treasure for those who can survive. If something isn’t done soon, all could be lost. This campaign works as a fantastic excursion into the world’s angriest rainforest. Ancient temples, lost cities, and infinite danger await those who dare to delve into the massive map of Chult. A death curse makes revival impossible, so players searching for a meat grinder or who love to swap out characters on a whim will have plenty of fun here. There’s only one main town to resupply and regain equipment, so your wits will be put to the limit if you hope to plunder the treasures of this forgotten land and live to make use of them.

About me
Hello everyone! I've been a GM for about 7 years now, running games for both official D&D modules as well my own TTRPG system that's been in the works for just as long. I'm very relaxed and willing to indulge in all sorts of character nonsense. If you can give me some proper notice, I'll allow just about any ideas into my games, as nothing brings me more joy than seeing players make their dreams a reality. My favorite part of games like these is that they're imaginative, so the only real limit is your imagination! With my games, I am completely confident with that claim. I've ran more than 1,000 games over the past 7 years and I welcome players of all backgrounds to my tables. I've taught the rules to dozens of players, and I'm more than happy to help any newcomers learn the ropes of TTRPGs in whichever way I can. Having worked plenty of times with both adults and kids alike, I'm very attentive when it comes to communication and am always open and available to discuss anything when it comes to the game, whether that be character building, rule clarification, or even just general chat. If you'd like to learn more about the Horrors and Hellscapes project or would like to see some active beta-testing of it, please use the links below! : Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/VirulentGames Twitch - https://www.twitch.tv/convulse751 In all of my games, Sessions 0 and 1 are free!

Creating your character
I adore working with my players to make sure their characters and their backstories make sense within the setting and matter to the overarching story of the campaign. Since this module is inherently a meatgrinder with permadeath, I encourage my players to come up with at least 2 or 3 exciting character ideas without too much emotional investment. The nations of the world have sent countless heroes to solve this death curse, so basically any character functions well in this setting so long as they’re prepared for rain and ruins. With how high the stakes are, it's no surprise that world leaders are desperate to send anyone brave enough to this death trap of a jungle. Humans, sapient animals, objects, anything works! You could even be a sentient toaster! I’m serious! I’m always more than happy to lead players through their first character creation if they want the help. I also have a collection of premade characters that you’re more than welcome to alter and change later once you have a firmer grasp on the game. I personally encourage my players to use creative freedom and make any sort of character they’d like. I’m my games, power fantasy is king, so believe me when I say anything is possible.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
All you need to bring is a Discord and Roll20 account, a stable internet connection, and a working microphone. A webcam is also encouraged but completely optional. Also, a love for adventure! I’ve been running games for years with all sorts of players, and I’ve found that no matter your experience with ttrpgs, your ability to do roleplay, or your knowledge of combat and numbers, the best thing to bring is a hunger for exciting stories and marvelous worlds. With a positive attitude and a love for your fellow player, the world can be yours!
What Daniel L brings to the table
I’ve ran Tomb of Annihilation dozens of times over the past 7 years and am happy to say that I’ve made lots of changes to the campaign as a whole to really push the fantasy of the world’s angriest rainforest. With a massive jungle to explore, alongside countless ancient temples, every week will feel like its own standalone adventure; the amount of content in this module alone is enormous. My hope is to bring you an unforgettable experience where you can play out your power fantasies to your heart’s content! The maps I utilize take full advantage of dynamic lighting within roll20, and I’m extremely well versed when it comes to improvising and improving adventures or characters on the spot no matter what the group wants to go with. This story is yours, so please, do as you wish!
Homebrew rules
I'm good with almost any sort of homebrew my players want to bring to the table, whether that be a particular item, character race, subclass, or otherwise. So long as I have proper notice and can look it over for myself, I welcome anything that makes the game more fun for you. :)

How Daniel L creates a safe table
Having ran more than 1,000 games over the past 7 years with all sorts of people, I welcome players of all ages and backgrounds and am happy to teach new players the ropes of the game without needing to slow things down. I always run a session 0 for groups, and a small meeting with individual players if they want before any games begin in case they'd like to meet me one-on-one. If there are any needs that a player has, whether that be avoiding certain triggers, being mindful of certain character traits, or literally anything else, I am always more than happy to alter my games to accommodate them. Players are always welcome to message me outside of session hours if they have questions or concerns of any kind. If there's anything I can do to make your experience in my games better, please let me know!
