About the adventure
READ FIRST: This Campaign is a follow-on from my Curiosities of Lyren Odysseys Campaign. If you are in that campaign or are considering joining it, the following includes HUGE SPOILERS. "In preservation of all shall the just must fall by your hand, the treacherous find refuge beneath your will, and the shattered heart endure agony unending." A being lost and forgotten to Gods and mortals alike has returned from exile. The Black Sun bares an ageless vendette that he has waited eons to resolve. And while the threat he poses cannot be understated, there is something deeper than an ageless rage. For only agony can endure the a million years unforgotten. This is a story-rich campaign blending mystery, tension, whimsy, and moral ambiguity. Here, you can expect immersive roleplay, faction intrigue, arcane oddities, and moments where your choices truly matter. Your actions will shape the world, the fate of the artifacts, and the legacy your character leaves behind. After all, finders keepers... right? You'll be thrown into: • Morally gray choices that'll have you to facing the consequences of you're own actions. • A mystery-driven story with player agency at its core. • Whimsical and dangerous magical artifacts, each with unique effects and consequences. • Dynamic roleplay and social intrigue. Weigh your words carefully! • Creative, tactical combat with custom monsters, traps, and encounters. • Custom items and puzzles, designed to make you think and work together. • A game that reacts to your choices and remembers them. • Immersive FoundryVTT experience with animated maps, lighting, music, VFX, sound design and more. This is a personal passion project of mine, a homebrew adventure I've meticulously built from the ground up over hundreds of hours. New players are welcome. Session 0 is free!

About me
Gather 'round, and let’s tell your tale. My name’s Jaidyn, a professional writer with a lifelong passion for TTRPGs and immersive storytelling. I’ve written countless stories and crafted many D&D campaigns over the years, and now I’m channeling that expertise into hosting some unforgettable TTRPG experiences. My focus is ever on player engagement and collaborative narrative, tailoring each session to bring out the best in your characters and group dynamic. I run my games through FoundryVTT utilising a huge library of sounds, maps, tokens, effects a more. Expect an experience as immersive as TTRPG can be! Whether you have a specific campaign in mind or need a little inspiration, I’m happy to run any D&D adventure you’d like. If you’re unsure where to start, I’ve spent hundreds of hours refining my own custom campaign (ready to launch in Foundry!) that is a balanced experience of rich world-building with dynamic gameplay in the world of Faerun. I relish creating vibrant settings, memorable NPCs, and branching storylines that adapt to your choices, and most importantly, watching my players have a blast! Fun is no.1. Let’s craft a tale that’s uniquely yours! P.S. I'm super approachable, no stress, message me with any questions or concerns and I'll get back to you asap :)

Creating your character
You’ll be invited to our Discord upon signup to meet your party, ask questions, and prepare. We’ll create characters together in a free Session 0, covering optional rules and light backstory. All official 2024 content (plus some UA) is allowed; older material is fine if not adapted to 2024. Use point buy or roll, whatever you prefer!
What to expect
Preparing for the session
YOU DO NOT NEED TO OWN FOUNDRY All you need is: • A laptop or desktop computer • A web browser • Discord • Microphone FoundryVTT is connected to securely through browser, no signup required! A pre-prepared character on DnD Beyond can be imported but starting from scratch is completely fine!
What Jaidyn brings to the table
- Immersive FoundryVTT setup – maps, lighting, sound, VFX, tokens, puzzles, traps & more. - A handcrafted, reactive world – choices matter and consequences evolve. - Distinct NPCs & factions – voiced, motivated, and memorable. - Creative encounters & puzzles – tactical combat, clever challenges, rewarding problem-solving. - A flexible, player-driven style – your choices shape the story. - A welcoming, collaborative table – for roleplayers, tacticians, and storytellers alike.
Homebrew rules
We have a few little homebrew rules: - Intimidation checks can alternatively be made with strength instead of using charisma (charmisa still available). Scary barbarians! - Crit fail rules. If you roll a 1 to attack, something bad may happen! This goes for npc's and monsters as well! - Flanking, specifically a variant that grants +2 to attack rolls for the flanking members. - Stealth, insight, perception and investigation ability checks are made blind (you can't see the result) so the dice don't give meta knowledge. If you don't notice any traps, you won't know if it was because you rolled a 1, or because there actually aren't any, just like your character! - There are a few other tweaks that are optional depending on group preference. You can find them all on our Discord.
