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.

Character creation

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

🎭 Exciting roleplay opportunities and a chance to save the Underdark from demonic incursion as well as meet some of the Forgotten Realms' most famous characters. 🗺️ An excellent VTT with neat maps and ambient music. I have subscriptions to many map-making, animation, sound effect, and music Patreons that I integrate into the experience. ⚔️ Exciting combat that's optimized on the VTT to be quick and efficient, so you're not waiting a long time for your turn to come back around and can focus on the fun part - battle tactics! 💎 Enough loot that you won’t be starved for gold and items, with defeated enemies being lootable on the VTT ⚖️ 2024 RAW (Rules as Written) 📕 Lots of books on D&D Beyond to customize your character and no region-locking as long as you're willing to reflavor the content to Forgotten Realms

Homebrew rules

🧪 Drink a healing potion as an action to gain the full effect, or as a bonus action to roll for effect 🧨 Explosive Crits give you max damage on your first damage roll, then you roll the extra dice and add them as usual ⚡️ Flanking is permitted. You must be opposite the enemy to receive flanking bonus, which gives you advantage.
