About the adventure
In April we'll be in Neverwinter, with the characters patrolling at the behest of Lord Dagult Neverember when they catch wind of a nefarious cult acting within the city! This adventure is designed to be playable in two or three hours. The characters are contracted by Lord Protector Dagult Neverember of Neverwinter to patrol the city. When a dead man is found clutching a withered eyeball, the characters are tasked with uncovering the cause of the man’s death. This leads the characters to investigate the city’s old catacombs and confront cultists of the lich-god Vecna.

About me
Hi! My name is Reina(she/her), aka "The Rainbow Role" on social media! My primary experience with TTRPGs is with D&D. I got started young and rolled my first 2e AD&D character when I was eight and I have never stopped. I ran my first game when I was twelve and have been a "forever DM" ever since. Currently I primarily run and play 5e, both 2014 and 2024, but have experience 2e, 3.5e D&D, pathfinder, Carbon 2185 and non d20 systems as well, including Heavy Gear's silhouette system and Wold of Darkness. In the last ten years or so I've really made an effort to make my games more role-play heavy and less of a "table top war game with a role-play element." I love lore, both writing it and having my players give their characters lore. I can run a number of styles from light-hearted and goofy to gritty and dystopian, to grimdark. I'm also a huge proponent of safety devices and make sure I include them in any of my games. I'm also a digital artist, so I'm vehemently anti-GenAI, none of my games currently or ever will feature any generative AI assets or writing. That said I love getting to create character art for people and my profile picture is was created by me in Procreate based on a picture of myself.

We'll be running abovevtt for combat, DND beyond for character creation and discord for chat, cameras aren't required but I'll have mine on.
What Reina brings to the table
I try to bring a mix of RP and combat to my games, I'm okay at voices but I'm not Matt Mercer. I love the rule of cool as long as it's not absolutely ridiculous (something like trying to manipulate a wish spell out of prestidigitation, for example)
Homebrew rules
Drinking a potion is a bonus action. Nat 20s and nat 1s are auto successes and fails on all checks, not just attacks. Called shots: take disadvantage on your attack roll to make an attack a crit if it succeeds
