About the adventure
This is a great game for fans of Baldur’s Gate 3, even if you’re new to tabletop gaming. Demons are invading the Underdark, and only you can stop them. You are a new member of the Society of Brilliance sent on a mission to investigate the disturbances happening in the Underdark, in particular around the enormous subterranian lake in the center. Famous cities surround the lake, and all of them prove to be in danger if this demonic threat comes to fruition… what will you discover? And what does this mean for the future of the Underdark?

About me
Well met! Since I could pick up a pencil, I’ve been a huge fan of telling stories. Creating characters, breathing life into them, all of that is so much fun. Introduction to Baldur’s Gate 3 led me to falling in love with the Forgotten Realms, and I’ve been having a swell time creating stories there now. I enjoy inhabiting the world and giving players a backdrop to portray their own stories. While my experience so far has been with Dungeons and Dragons 5E 2024 and Old School Essentials, I’ve enjoyed my time playing and DMing both systems and have fallen in love with the gameplay.

Creating your character
✨ Roll for stats (using a special bot on the discord server), point buy, or standard array - your choice! ⭐️ 2024 Rules ⚡️ All published Wizards of the Coast books and DNDBeyond partnered content that I own on DNDBeyond are welcome. Region content is not locked (so you can use Eberron, Dragonlance, etc. content) but please be ready to reflavor the content to Forgotten Realms! 🔥 Characters start at Level 1 🏹 One common magic item to start with (that isn't a weapon or armor)
What to expect
Preparing for the session
We will be using: 🎲 Foundry VTT 🎧 Discord 🎭 D&D Beyond You will be invited to the discord when you join :)
What Cy brings to the table
🎲 Why Game With Me? 🎲 🔥 Foundry VTT-based gameplay with beautiful art, animations, sound effects, dynamic lightning, music, and other bells and whistles. Great if you enjoy a more video game-like experience with visuals. ⚔️ Fun combat that’s designed to move quickly with key automations in the VTT. Lets you focus on the fun part of strategizing and roleplaying. 🗡️ Lots of content on DnDBeyond you can use to build your character. I have Grimhollow, Crooked Moon, Critical Role, and other third party material that is welcome in my games. I also pre-order all new 5E content so you can start using it as soon as Master Tier gets access to it! 💎 Lots of loot to collect when enemies are defeated! You’ll get to enjoy all the game has to offer with magic items and consumables. 👁️ Engaging roleplay opportunities that give you a chance to talk to and potentially befriend such creatures as mind flayers, beholders, slaads, and more. You and the other players drive the narrative and can make allies with unusual personalities! ⏱️ Gaming consistency - you won’t have games cancelled on you with no notice unless someone has an emergency and we fall below our minimum play count, so look forward to game time each week. As long as three can attend, we play. 🎟️ Everyone is welcome. This is an LGBTQIA+ friendly table that welcomes queer and trans players and characters. I myself am a BIPOC non-binary DM and welcome everyone—whether you’re new to the game or experienced at playing—to join our community of likeminded people.
