About the adventure
“Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.” ☠️ Investigate a mystery and track the monster to its lair ☠️ A chance to identify secret weaknesses and hidden powers before the confrontation ☠️ Fight 5 classic DnD monstrous villains, who have been tuned to provide epic boss fight moments ☠️ Harvest from your kill and craft powerful magic items to help you on your journey ☠️ Episodic in nature. Each villain episode should take about 3 sessions, you can join for 1 or multiple hunts ☠️ Quick level progression. Killed a boss? Level up! We are using the book Where Evil Lives, which crafted amazing lairs for the bad guys. The real stars of this adventure are the villains. Each is abominable in their own way; every lair boss is a unique monster, from their personality to their stat block. When a group of heroes invades a villain’s home, that evildoer fights like hell to end the threat. Each villain was given the beefy, playtested stat block they need to stand up to even the most optimized parties. Each lair was specially crafted for the villain and their allies. A lair is an extension and example of its villain’s power and personality.

About me
👦🏽 He/him 🌴 Brazilian Hey there, the name is Rodrigo (pronounced Rawwwrrrrr!) After spending the last 12 years working as a successful IT consultant in Switzerland, I decided to do what any wise person would. I said screw it, packed my bags, my wife and my dog (yes, yes, packed all of them) and moved back to Brazil to start a completely new career as a full-time Game Master. My family and friends were really confused by my decision. Me? I'm having a blast! This is the first time in my life I'm working with what I love: making your day more fun! There is a zero-tolerance policy towards the intolerant. I will kick any bigots faster than you can sing "I like big boots and cannot lie."
