About the adventure
Before the Storm is a short adventure for 10th-level characters from the Dragon Delves anthology. A rebel band of pirates have harassed ships travelling along the Umbradi Coast for years, stealing cargo and demanding tribute. Until recently, however, the pirates assailed only cargo ships and engaged in minimal bloodshed, but that's all about to change.

About me
Hello there! My name is Frank and I have been playing D&D for over 40 years (oh boy! That's a long time). I started playing in 1983 when my friends and I bought the original red box, not knowing what the game was about at the time. I just wanted to try something new and that red dragon on the cover looked SO cool. Since then, I've logged thousands of hours as a player and behind the GM screen running games for friends, family, local game stores, conferences such as GenCon and PAX, and professional games online. What to expect? - I bring to the table access to my DnDBeyond content and use the Beyond20 extension to push rolls on DnDBeyond to Roll20. - I prefer to run published modules but will heavily homebrew them and go off the rails for the stories to fit your character's backstories. - I spend many hours preparing for each session and you'll be able to tell - I bring lots of VTT maps from multiple sources and also lots of Roll20 addons and other fun stuff So, if you're looking for a group that's as much about role-play as it is about dungeon crawling, this is the place for you.

Creating your character
Welcome! Thanks for joining this adventure. Go ahead and create your LEVEL 10 character. Keep an eye out for a private message from me where I will send you the links for D&D Beyond, Roll20, and my Discord server for this campaign. If you have any questions, you can send me a message directly. Let's chat on Discord soon.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Create your character using DnD Beyond. I will share my compendium once you join the campaign. Create a free account on Roll20. It's what I use as a Virtual Tabletop to display maps, tokens, etc. ---PLEASE DON'T--- create your character using Roll20, I only use it to display battle maps. Create an account on Discord. This is what I use for voice chat. A webcam is NOT necessary.
What Frank brings to the table
- I bring over four decades of DM'ing experience - You will have access to my compendium on D&D Beyond - I have my own Discord server with channels set up for this game. - I bring music and atmosphere - You'll hear tons of NPCs with silly voices - A sense of humour, fun, and a desire to see the players succeed
