About the adventure
Between whispers of vanished expeditions, serpentfolk ruins, cursed tides, and blood-soaked prophecy, the sleeping jungle proves to be very much awake beneath its surface. Villagers speak of masked cultists gathering relics and abducting travelers, preparing to usher in something ancient and terrible. This D&D 2024 campaign combines multiple adventures by Dragonshorn Studios into a connected, cinematic jungle fantasy storyline filled with exploration, mystery, treasure hunting, dangerous ruins, monstrous cults, and ancient gods intent on sewing chaos and tragedy. We will use D&D 2024 rules alongside the expanded character options from Valda’s Spire of Secrets. About the game: - Jungle exploration and dangerous dungeon crawls - Ancient temples, traps, and forgotten ruins - Cult conspiracies and escalating danger - Tactical combat and cinematic boss fights - Roleplay, mystery, and intrigue - A homebrew adventure arc that connects three pre-written adventures - Foundry VTT with immersive maps, music, and automation -Beginner-friendly support for both D&D 2024 and Valda’s Spire of Secrets The jungle is calling. Whether you seek treasure, glory, forbidden knowledge, or something more personal, something ancient has awoken and is calling to you from beneath the vines.

About me
Expect: - Converted, Reworked, and Updated Adventures - High-Res Map Rebuilds - Immersive Audio - Dynamic Lighting, Vision, and Sound - Multi-Level Maps - Thoughtful World-Building and Character Integration - Vetted, 3rd-Party Content I pair my skills in storytelling with a strong understanding for dynamic immersion in Foundry VTT to produce an experience that feels like interactive theater at a digital story table. My goal for players is to bring characters into our table that move stories forward in a collaborative setting. My goal as a GM is to provide players with immersive challenges that build unforgettable story arcs and bring out the best in their characters. Experience: - Background in tabletop podcasting and streaming with professional sound and high-quality digital platforms - Background in theater, public speaking, and middle school teaching - Lifetime of creative writing and fantasy world-building as a hobby - Strong grasp for immersive audio and multi-level maps in Foundry VTT, with the tools and modules needed to automate much of what happens at the table (without taking away from a player's understanding for the game) Table guidelines: - All are welcome, so long as you are welcoming to others. - Practice active listening. - Collaborate with other players to bring the story forward. - Allow other players their moments of spotlight. - Bring on the silly! Have fun with character moments; just make sure they make sense for the character, group, and story. - Published, third-party and homebrew content may be used only if it has been vetted by me and it has a functioning Foundry VTT module to make gameplay accessible. My focus as the GM must remain on storytelling, not building computer automation for one's character. Whether you are new to TTRPGs or have played longer than I have, I hope you'll join me for some collaborative fun. Thanks so much, and I look forward to telling unforgettable stories together 💫

Creating your character
We will roll ability scores during Session 0, then build characters together using Foundry VTT. I will also provide reading material for players to familiarize themselves with the expanded character options.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Once you join the game, you will be sent a link for the Cozy Critical Discord Server. The server will host everything you need to get started :) You will also want to create an account with Forge VTT!
What Jamie Emma brings to the table
I will take care of the world-building, NPC voices, in-game music, virtual tabletop, rules management, and player engagement. All I need from you is a willingness to explore the setting and build a story together!
Homebrew rules
We will be using Valda's Spire of Secrets from Mage Hand Press for expanded character options, though core character options will be perfectly fine for our story.
