This campaign throws our adventurers into the wild, dangerous jungles of Chult — a land filled with ancient ruins, deadly traps, forgotten magic, and yes… dinosaurs. The journey begins in the vibrant city of Port Nyanzaru, where colourful markets, racing beasts, and suspicious guides set the tone for the adventure ahead. From there we head deep into the jungle, mastering the hexcrawl system together before shifting into a faster, story-driven pace once the party finds its footing. You’ll encounter meaningful RP with memorable NPCs and challenging combat encounters designed to feel dangerous but fair.

About me
Welcome, adventurer! I'm Craig, your Dungeon Master and dedicated guide through the realms of imagination. With a lifelong love for storytelling and fantasy, I’ve made it my mission to run immersive, character-driven games where every choice matters and no two sessions are ever the same. As a DM, I focus on player agency, rich roleplay, and dynamic worlds that respond to your actions. I draw inspiration from mythology, epic fantasy, and a whole lot of late-night dice rolls to craft campaigns full of heart, humor, and high-stakes drama. Whether you’re a battle-hardened hero or brand new to the game, I’ll make sure you feel welcome, empowered, and part of something unforgettable. I design everything—from cities to dungeons—with care, always aiming to create moments that stick with you long after the session ends. So grab your dice, ready your character sheet, and join me at the table. Let’s tell incredible stories, face impossible odds, and share laughs along the way. I can’t wait to roll with you. https://linktr.ee/craigdnd

Creating your character
Character creation will take place before and during session 0, and I’ll work closely with each player to ensure your character fits the themes and tone of the campaign. I’m happy to help you brainstorm concepts, refine backstories, or figure out mechanics. Starting Level: 3 Stat Generation: Standard Array or Point Buy Hit Points: Max at level 1, fixed average after Books Allowed: All official 5e content. Additional content only with approval. Character Sheets: Created and managed in DnD Beyond and/or in Foundry VTT. During Session Zero, we’ll align expectations, establish party connections and finalize any character details. My goal is to ensure your character feels meaningful to the world and supported by the narrative from the very first session. All players, new or experienced, are welcome. If you need help building a character, I’m happy to walk you through the process step by step.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
We use Discord for all voice chat, scheduling, and campaign communication. A link will be provided upon booking. The game is ran in Foundry VTT, a user account will be provided for you. Have a capable computer as Foundry won't run on tablets or mobile devices. A microphone is necessary and a webcam is optional.
What Craig brings to the table
I run a roleplay heavy game where you'll immerse yourself in the world and the colourful range of characters all voiced by me. Character voices for you are not mandatory but are welcome. I use background music/ambiance through a discord bot, sound effects are also occasionally used. I run a simple, efficient, fast paced combat style so things don't drag on for hours but don't expect an easy ride.
Homebrew rules
- No flanking rules are used to keep combat simple and quick - Spell scrolls can be used by anyone even if you're not a caster and/or it's not on your spell list you require a successful Arcana check for it to work. - Nat 1s and 20s apply in roleplay aswell as in combat so nat 1s always being a failure for example.

How Craig creates a safe table
During session 0, we’ll go over expectations, player goals, lines and veils, and any content you’d like to avoid or limit. I also have tools built into foundry that enable us to stop the game if necessary. And of course my DMs are always open in the event you need to drop me a quick message.
