About the adventure
❄️2 Campaigns 1 Epic Adventure👁️🗨️ This campaign takes two iconic Dungeons and Dragons storylines and smashes them together into one full overarching narritive thats sure to keep you entertained for hours to come! Its not secret that many people (myself included) believe that WOTC dropped the ball on Vecna: Eve of Ruin. From random encounters and fetch quests, a plot twist that players can see coming a mile away, fun ideas that are over and forgotten about all to soon and thats not even talking about Vecna not even showing up until the end of the campaign. Its easy to see that Vecna: Eve of Ruin truly didnt get the love that it deserved. Thats where I come in, I believe I can craft a fun and engaging story that celebrates everything we as a community love about D&D, from engaging roleplay moments thats sure to spawn lots of inside jokes and fond memories to a few difficult encounters that will have you on the edge of your seat wondeing "Is this where my heros journey ends?" I owe alot of where I am today to this wonderful game and its amazing community and only hope to spark some enjoyment for anyone at my table! ❄️ Our adventure will begin in the frozen heights of Icewind Dale where our band of heroes will meet a few iconic characters and hear about many more to come, once our heroes fight their way through Aurals relentless rime, they will uncover a deeper darker secret looming just beneath the ice, and only they can stop whatever happens next!

About me
Hey! I’m Rane — a full-time Game Master and owner of The Death Save Society with a deep love for story-driven, character-focused tabletop RPGs. I’ve been running games for years across a wide range of systems, but no matter the ruleset, my focus is always the same: creating immersive worlds where player choices matter and characters are allowed to grow, fail, and shine. I specialize in cinematic, roleplay-forward campaigns that balance emotional storytelling with meaningful combat and player agency. I love weaving character backstories into the core narrative, designing memorable NPCs, and building moments that feel earned — whether that’s a quiet campfire conversation, a tense moral dilemma, or a high-stakes showdown that changes the world. My tables are welcoming, collaborative, and beginner-friendly. You don’t need to be an expert or a voice actor to play in my games — just someone who’s excited to engage with the story and respect the people at the table. I use safety tools, encourage open communication, and prioritize making sure everyone feels comfortable and included. Outside of the table, I run multiple long-form campaigns, one-shots, and live-play games, and I’m always experimenting with new ideas, settings, and systems. I love building worlds that feel alive and evolving, and I treat every campaign as a shared creative project between myself and my players. If you’re looking for a game where your character matters, your choices have weight, and the story remembers you, I’d love to have you at my table.

Creating your character
🖥️ D&D Beyond I will provide a D&D Beyond campaign which will allow you to have access to each and every book I own on their marketplace! 📘 2024 Ruleset We’ll be using the updated 2024 D&D rules for a fresh and balanced experience. If a subclass, spell, or race doesn’t have a 2024 version yet, feel free to use the 2014 one instead. Certain spells from 2014 will cary over to 2024 as I find some of the changes to spells dumb. 🎲 Stat Generation We roll 2 sets of stats collectivly as a group during our session 0, the result being what you will use as a custome Standard Array.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
We will meet bi-weekly in my custome dnd server over on Discord. If you have a D&D Beyond account thats great if not you can make one for free over at https://www.dndbeyond.com Its always a great idea to have a brief idea of what you want your character to be but if your coming into this campaign blind thats perfectly fine too I can assit you every step of the way turning a basic stick figure character into a full fleged hero!
What Rane brings to the table
What You Can Expect 🎲 Full access to every official D&D 5E book 🎨 Custom character and NPC art to bring the story to life 🎵 Hand-curated music to set the mood and elevate every scene 🗺️ High-quality battlemaps for immersive exploration and combat My GM Style I run a fair, immersive game where rules matter—but the story always comes first.

Homebrew rules
⚔️Perkins Crit When you roll a critical hit on an enemy you automatically deal max damage and roll an additional die for your weapon adding it together to get a much highter result. (No one likes rolling the lowest amount of damage possible on a crit). 💫Fortune’s Favor Whenever you score a critical success (Nat 20) you gain inspiration, if you roll a critical success (Nat 20) and already have inspiration you can choose to give that inspiration to another party member or friendly NPC that can see you perform this extrodanary feat.

How Rane creates a safe table
👂Open Communication👂 I am always online in some facit or another and encourge all my players to reach out to me about anything concerning my game in any way they feel necessary. My goal is to not only run a fun and enaging game for you all but to also host a safe and inviting community for all members of the TTRPG community both beginner and those of the OSR days 🫱 Post-Session Check-Ins 🫱 After each session, I’ll check in—especially after major moments or emotional beats. It’s a simple way to stay connected and make sure everyone feels heard, supported, and excited for what’s next. ⏸️ Breaks & Refunds ⏸️ Each session will include a short 15 minute breaks in the middle. If something unexpected forces a major delay or cancellation on my part (say, spontaneous food poisoning), I’ll issue a refund. Your time and experience matter.
