About the adventure
Traveling through Faerûn and beyond, you are haunted by living shadows and echoes of the past. Every attempt to escape leads only to the next trap. Survival is a fragile illusion, vanishing at every turn. To even dream of victory, you must attain greatness larger than life itself. ⚔️ Explore a broken Faerûn: Familiar places changed by magic, mistakes, and unfinished business. Nothing is untouched. ⚔️ Deal with hidden powers: No clear villain. Factions pull strings, magic leaves scars, and allies are not always what they seem. ⚔️ For players who like consequences: Roleplay driven, choice heavy, and shaped by what you do. Hope exists, but you have to fight for it.

About me
Hey, I’m Mike. I’ve been playing Dungeons & Dragons since I was 9 years old. I grew up in Brazil in the 1980s, when finding other kids willing to play D&D was not easy at all. For about two years, I played alone. Eventually I convinced a few friends to try a session with me. After that first game, they came back, and they brought other friends with them. I’ve been a Dungeon Master ever since, for over 35 years now. More recently, I partnered with some friends to create Tupinikim Studio. Our goal is simple: to deliver memorable D&D experiences, both online and in person. We are a small group of professionals who share a deep love for the game. A fantasy cartographer creates custom maps. A sound engineer builds music and soundscapes tailored to each scene. A graphic designer adds visual elements that bring moments to life. And I take the role of Dungeon Master, weaving everything together into a living campaign. At the table, the focus is on story, character, and immersion. The tools and visuals are there to support the experience, not overshadow it. What matters most is creating a space where players feel invested, challenged, and excited to come back for the next session.

Creating your character
✍️ You and I will shape your background, goals, and motivations so they matter in the story. ✍️ We use the Player’s Handbook 2024, Dungeon Master’s Guide 2024, Adventures in Faerûn, and Heroes of Faerûn. ✍️ Strong backstories and personal hooks are encouraged, because this world responds to who you are.
Party will be assembled on session 0.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
✍️ We created characters together in Sessoin Zero. ✍️ We use Discord, D&D Beyond and Foundry VTT. ✍️ Come ready to create, collaborate, and step into the story.
