About the adventure
The gods judged humanity and found them wanting. They sent Smite Sickness—a divine plague that drove civilization into the depths of the Underdark. The surface world now belongs to monsters. You are monster hunters. Brave the contaminated ruins above, track legendary beasts through plague-zones, harvest their remains, and forge legendary equipment from their corpses. Every expedition is a gamble: the greater the divine contamination, the deadlier the monsters… and the more valuable the rewards. Expect legendary monster hunts, crafting that matters and divine mysteries...

About me
Hello All and Happy Gaming! My names Adam and I am 25 years old from Northern Ireland with 6 years GM experience! I started running a Westmarches Campaign to cure lockdown boredom as my first campaign which was a lot to have 9 players at the table but it helped me lean into my improv-first style of game. I have ran multiple TTRPG systems from big-hitters like DnD 5e to more indie games such as Household or Masks.
View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
The first session will be a Session 0 where I will brief you on the lore of this world and from there we can create characters that work well together. The starting level will be level 1 with 2024 rules, and characters will be hosted on D&Dbeyond where I have all necessary content plus some bonus third party content. Only content not allowed is that replaced by newer 2024 content i.e. legacy content.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players should have accounts for Discord and D&Dbeyond. I will send over details of the discord server when joined.
What Adam brings to the table
Players should expect good craic and compelling story telling with plenty of player agency. I aim to have tactical VTT combat with it not being a slog. This campaign will focus on unique kill and craft mechanics that feature in games such as Monster Hunter World and Arc Raiders.
Homebrew rules
This campaign will focus on unique kill and craft mechanics, that feature in games such as Monster Hunter World and Arc Raiders, where you can loot fallen monsters and use that to craft unique gear.

How Adam creates a safe table
