About the adventure
Tomb of Annihilation is a Dungeons and Dragons campaign set in the deadly jungles of Chult, where ancient ruins lie swallowed by vines and the wilderness itself is an ever-present threat. The land is vibrant, hostile, and indifferent to your survival. Travel is dangerous, supplies are limited, and every expedition into the jungle carries real risk. Beauty and wonder exist here, but they are inseparable from danger and decay. This game emphasizes exploration, survival, and player-driven problem solving. Decisions about where to travel, who to trust, and how to prepare matter greatly. NPCs range from knowledgeable guides to rival adventurers, each with their own goals and limitations. Combat is only one way to overcome obstacles, and reckless choices can have lasting consequences. The challenge comes not from constant combat, but from endurance, planning, and adaptation. Players who enjoy a serious tone, meaningful choices, and the tension of survival will find much to explore in Chult. Victory is never guaranteed, and heroism often means pressing forward despite exhaustion, fear, and loss. Success is measured not only by what you uncover, but by whether you live long enough to leave your mark on a land that does not care if you survive.

About me
I remember being invited to play in my first game of D&D several years ago. I immediately fell in love with the magic of tabletop RPG's. I had always wanted to try playing, but had struggled to do so for the longest time. When I finally found a group with which to play, I was blessed with a truly outstanding dungeon master. He intricately weaved the storytelling and gameplay elements of dungeons and dragons in a was that was nothing short of beautiful. In no time at all, I was hooked. That group eventually broke up when the dungeon master moved away. But I'll never forget that truly fantastic experience I was treated to. Since then, I've taken it on myself to try to perfect the art of dungeon mastering and to bring that experience to as many prospective adventures as possible. Now I've taken the next step and brought my Dungeon Mastering skills to StartPlaying. It is my goal to share my vision of what D&D can really be with as many of you as I possibly can.

Safety
How Brian creates a safe table
I make a point of meticulously setting expectations prior to game time so that everyone is on the same page as far as what to expect. I do also have an open door policy at any time and have a zero tolerance policy for rude behavior between players. Additionally, to protect more introverted players, I utilize DMing techniques intended to prevent them from being overshadowed or left out by more outgoing players.
