About the adventure
Beneath Waterdeep lies Undermountain where Halaster Blackcloak, a wizard of unimaginable power moved in over a 1000 years ago. Might he still be alive! The entrance is a dilapidated pit in the famous Yawning Portal tavern. The proprietor, Durnan, himself rumored to be over 200 years old, is known to have explored and survived the Dungeon. Undermountain is rumored to contain unimaginable wealth and powerful magic items. Though many are drawn to the entrance, only a rare few brave the depths. Rival factions vie for power and control in the dark underbelly of Waterdeep concocting everchanging danger. Those who return speak of drow, duergar, goblinoids, monsters, dark guilds, and powerful wizards. As the story unfolds, your reasons for entering the depths of Undermountain will be clarified and your goals may morph. Are you seeking something, someone, traveling to the notorious Skullport, running away from the law, fulfilling a mission or testing your adventuring skills in the dungeon designed by a Mad Man? This dungeon is appropriate for all levels of experience. Leaning into character story, development and role play adds to the uniqueness and pleasure of the game. Our goal will be to strike a healthy balance between exploration, roleplay, and combat. Come join me on an epic adventure delving into this classic dungeon!

About me
I have over 30 years of roleplaying experience. My first roleplaying experience was with Marvel Superheroes and Advanced Dungeons and Dragons. I have been hooked every since! I have hosted games from 2 to 7 players at my tables. I run both custom and pre-generated adventures. Even though fantasy is my favorite genre of TTRPG's, I really enjoy the FATE system and Marvel Superheroes. I have dabbled in many little systems, however the majority of my experience GM'ing has been with DND Advanced through 2014 5e, Pathfinder 1e, Fate, Marvel Superheroes, and Dresden Files.

What Chancity brings to the table
I will make sure character backstories and goals are laced into the Campaign. I try to keep the monsters unique using voices and roleplay them. Characters will level by Milestone so that I can reward creative solutions that do not always end in combat to the death.
