About the adventure
In the seemingly endless desert expanse lies Al'Kirat: a sun-schorched tiefling city. What was once an empty wasteland has now become a treasure trove of wonders for treasure hunters and archeologists alike. Beneath the sand lies the remains on an ancient anubian civiliation: buried cities, tombs and priceless relics. ... but the dead do not sleep peacefully here. Welcome to Sands of Doom! A high-fantasy desert campaign of exploration, tomb-delving, faction intrigue, and escalating danger. The deeper you dig, the more the Wasteland pushes back I run games with: ⚔️Tactical and fast-paced encounters that reward teamwork and creative play. 🗣️Strong NPC interactions, reputation, and choices that have lasting consequences. 🧭Survival and exploration that matters. The world around you is just as deadly as the adversaries you will face. If you have any questions, feel free to shoot me a message. Are you ready to explore the world of Kirat?

About me
Hey! I’m a D&D 5e DM with 5 years of GM-ing for big and small tables alike. My games lean character-first with plenty of room for smart plans, fun roleplay, and cooperative problem-solving. Ambitious character design and elaborate backstories are welcome but not mandatory. You can bring fully-formed concept or just and idea and we will shape your character into something awesome together as we play. I run all kinds of games from thematic beginner one-shots to official campaigns and even my own homebrew settings. If you have any questions for my games or perhaps if there's anything you'd like me to run, feel free to shoot me a message.

Creating your character
Before the game, we will find time to chat - likely over discord - about character creation and I can provide more details of the game. Almost anything is allowed as long as you run it by me first. We will mostly be using the 2024 rules.
Meet your future party: Ben, Tiefling Cleric An emmisary of the Church of Asmodeous, Ben preaches and enforces the doctrines of the Nine - at least for now. Calla, Orc Ranger From the Orc tribes of O'Grila, Calla is a battle-hardened slayer of the cursed Undead with a soft side for underdogs. Darude, Ascendant Stone Goliath After an incident at an Anubian excavation site, Darude was changed. Whether he has been blessed by an ancient Aru or incurred the wrath of long forgotten deity remains a mystery yet.
