About the adventure
Strixhaven is supposed to be a place to learn magic, make friends, join clubs, and discover who you want to become. But strange incidents are spreading across campus, hidden sigils are appearing, and someone seems to be testing students for reasons no professor will explain. This is a long-form, roleplay-heavy campaign set at Strixhaven University in Exandria. Expect friendships, rivalries, classes, mysteries, meaningful combat, and personal storylines built around your character. The current party is level 4 and has completed 13 sessions. New players receive a free private onboarding session, a concise campaign recap, and a character entrance written to make them part of the ongoing story. No knowledge of Critical Role, Exandria, or Strixhaven is required.

About me
I’m Merp, the Game Master behind MythCarvers. I specialize in long-form, character-driven Dungeons & Dragons campaigns set in Exandria. After hosting more than 100 games through StartPlaying, the part I still love most is watching a player’s character become an inseparable part of the world and a story the entire table cares about. My tables are welcoming, inclusive, and friendly to both experienced players and people still learning the game. Expect meaningful choices, recurring characters, evolving relationships, mysteries, laughter, and personal storylines built around your character. You don’t need to know Critical Role or Exandrian lore—I’ll provide everything you need. Session 0 is always free, and one-shot adventures are available by request.
