About the adventure
The death curse, a wasting disease afflicting anyone who's ever been raised from the dead, is causing people to die alarmingly fast. This time, without hope of resurrection. Syndra Silvane, a retired adventurer, is plagued by the curse and wishes to sponsor a group willing to face the island of Chult and search for the cause of the disease. That's where you come in. 🌴Explore the Port of Nyanzaru, home of the famed Dinosaur Races and known for their expansive trade offerings. 🗡️Step into the Land of Chult, either by foot or by canoe. Who knows, if you're lucky you might find a settlement of two. Or, you could always get lost in undead territory. 📜Weave together the histories of the island, gathering clues to help you decide where the Death Curse lies. 💀If you survive the traps, puzzles, and horrors of the jungle, you just might make it to the heart of the curse. Or, at the very least the bottom of a temple. You get to decide if you make it out alive.

About me
When you love storytelling and have a penchant for chaos, all roads (eventually) lead to TTRPG. I came to tabletop roleplay later in life (2023) but my love for crafting stories and roleplaying online started in 2005. When you're plagued with visions and brainworms aplenty, there's nothing I love more than detailing a scene like I'm storyboarding a movie. Yes, we know where the action is leading us, but how are we getting there? Is it with a comedic flair, or a penchant for angst and dramatics? Those are the details I highlight when setting the scene. Offline, I GM for my friends on the weekend and during the week, I lead social skills groups for neurodiverse adolescents (including a bi-weekly D&D night!). When I'm not gaming (Sims4, CitiesSkylines), you're likely to find me doomscrolling on tumblr and organizing my 100+ open tabs on AO3.
View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
Characters should be ready to go at session start, and made on DnDBeyond.com. Standard Array for ability scores and Fixed HP should be used. Most homebrew and source material is welcome; just remember we start as Level 5 characters getting ready to journey through a jungle (think: questionable weather forecasts and humidity!).
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You will need a Discord & DnDBeyond account to play. Both accounts are free to create. My Discord server will be used for audio, and DnDBeyond for VTT. If you create your character within the campaign, you will have access to my source books. You Character's picture on DnDBeyond will be their token during gameplay. I will be using maps on DDB VTT when we're in combat, and sharing visuals as-needed in the main roleplay channel.
What Erika Kathryn brings to the table
I will provide two posts/day, at least 5-days a week. At least one post will surmise the roleplay/PC interactions thus far, and push into the next course of action. Players are expected to be available to post at least once daily, but there is inherent flexibility given the nature of PbP. I will adjust the narration to fit the style of the players, but will leave roleplay/PC interactions up to the player. Character sheets, Maps, and Dice Rolling will be ran through DnDBeyond. Avrae is a bot in the server that will import dice rolls. I do not use Tupperbox. We follow the Rule of Cool here. You can do as much as you are comfortable with, and I welcome the melding of minds. Creative choices will be honored, 9 times out of 10. If it adds to the narrative, it's likely game!
Homebrew rules
I assume every character comes into session with two potions of healing. Up to one rare item and three uncommon/common items should be equipped. Flanking gives advantage. You may add both your 'starting equipment' and 'starting gold' to your character build (or trade out any piece of the 'starting equipment', i.e., weapon preferences).

How Erika Kathryn creates a safe table
Once you get set up in my discord server, you can message me any specific lines/veils you want to be observed. Similarly, we'll do a brief check in prior to game start to make sure everyone is comfortable with the set up. I appreciate stars and wishes post-gameplay, even in oneshots.
