About the adventure
Encounter slimes, sludges, oozes, and more in this level zero dungeon crawl! This will be a level zero gauntlet, which means that every player will have four characters at level zero, and will attempt to see which one of them (if any) survives. I will provide you with the characters as you delve deep in this old-school-style dungeon crawl through the Trial of the Slime Lord!

About me
Hi! I’m Kylar, a story-focused DM who loves TTRPGs! My tables balance tactical combat, meaningful roleplay, and cooperative storytelling. I like to try to blend Rule of Cool with a solid Rules as Written structure. My top priority is simple: everyone has fun, feels included, and gets a chance to shine. I run adventures in my own expanding homebrew world, influenced by Earthsea, Legend of Drizzt, Critical Role, and Worlds Beyond Number. If you enjoy traditional fantasy with character driven arcs, moral dilemmas, and dynamic battles, you’ll feel right at home.

Creating your character
Characters will all be randomly generated for you through shadowdarklings.net, as these characters will be random villagers that have been kidnapped and placed in the dungeon.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
The game will be played over Discord and with owlbear.rodeo for a VTT. Players can use physical dice, or a digital dice roller (one is provided in Owlbear)
What Kylar brings to the table
I will have ambient music to set the scene, and am attempting to play Rules as Written for the most part. I'm looking forward to an old-fashioned dungeon crawl.
