About the adventure
A high level adventure where you play high level adventurers, traipsing across the multiverse in search of a powerful artifact that can stop Vecna, the Arch Lich, the Lord of Whisper and Keeper of Secrets from tearing reality apart. The tone will be light and comical, with adventurers having major license to enact their agency and cause shenanigans across the various classic settings of D&D, enjoying the fantasy of being powerful entities who are on a mission more important than most trivial matters these worlds face. Come be silly, be powerful, create moments of pathos and go wild across wildspace and beyond!

About me
I'm a DM with nearly 30 years of experience and have been a Professional running multiple sessions weekly since 2021. I've been playing since 2nd Edition and I strongly believe that the player's write the story with their choices and decisions, I'm just the editor that makes sure every player is getting the role they want in the story. While I sometimes may be using published materials, I'll often tailor the module to the players. This means that your choices in character creation will help shape the story, and veterans who may have played the adventure before might get a surprise or two! I believe in RAW and RAI, meaning your spells and abilities will do what they say they do, but I also support and encourage creative applications as well. I won't punish you for your build or your creativity, instead I'll find ways to make you feel challenged and awesome! I'm a fan of rich, fulfilling narratives, memorable characters with unique personalities and stories that will change based on your decisions, but I'm also a seasoned vet who's fought a battle or two and loves dynamic tactical combat. Depending on who is in the group and what your preference is, we can focus on either (or both!). We can play a session without a single roll of a die, or we can wage glorious battle through a gauntlet of cunning foes. The game you want is the game I'll bring to you!

Homebrew rules
I defer to ability checks over Item HP, favouring Strength for breaking, jumping and swimming, I encourage using the 2014 combat option rules in the DMG, with some space utilizing the 2024 Unarmed Strike Rules and thew saving throw mechanics. I utilize Exhaustion, and add it to the statuses Lesser Restoration can heal, and allow Second Wind, Rage, Wholeness of Body and other Physical Based abilities as a means of overcoming it. I use the Free Press mental health conditions as well, along with 2014 madness rules (sometimes with durations homebrewed) I like to use Popcorn initiative for exploration and skill challenges when there is an urgency or danger that opens up space for cinematic descriptions and allows equal opportunities for the spotlight.
