About the adventure
This is a classic prison break adventure with a bit of a twist. You'll have to find a way out of the pit, past the guards, and then somehow maje it through a harsh and unforgiving desert to make it back to civilization alive. Naturally you'll start with nothing and have to find or make everything using the ingenuity of prisoners with nothing but time. This is a sandbox game. (Pun intended) you'll be expected to explore and get creative to plan your escape. All skill levels welcome!

About me
I'm Alex. I've been a DM for 7 years and a player for much longer. The longest campaign I've run lasted 5 years. Thanks to the magic of the internet, I've played with people from all over the world with diverse backgrounds. So long as you're respectful to everyone and are here for the love of the game you're welcome at my table. I have primarily run DnD 5e in my homebrew setting of Verand, but I have also run occasional one-shots and other systems such as Cyberpunk 2020 and Pathfinder. For tools, I've run games with DnD Beyond character sheets and Roll20 is my tabletop of choice, but I am flexible with the tools players are comfortable using. If you like intricately woven plots that incorporate your character's backstories and a balanced mix of intrigue, mystery, role play, and more I'm your DM.

What Alex brings to the table
I bring a complex puzzle with multiple solutions. An intricate sandbox for you to unravel. You'll have to manage your relationships with the other prisoners, the resources you can find, and just staying alive in a harsh environment all while trying to find a way to escape. I give you a complex web to either navigate or be trapped by.
