About the adventure
What to Expect: *Go on a daring escapade through and under the streets of Waterdeep! *Run a tavern for fun and profit! *Descend into a sprawling dungeon many levels deep, and confront the Mad Mage himself! Synopsis (1-5): "Famed explorer Volothamp Geddarm needs you to complete a simple quest. Thus begins a mad romp through the wards of Waterdeep as you uncover a villainous plot involving some of the city's most influential figures. A grand urban caper awaits you. Pit your skill and bravado against villains the likes of which you've never faced before, and let the dragon hunt begin!" Synopsis (5-20): "In the city of Waterdeep rests a tavern called the Yawning Portal, named after the gaping pit in its common room. At the bottom of this crumbling shaft is a labyrinthine dungeon shunned by all but the most daring adventurers. Known as Undermountain, this dungeon is the domain of the mad wizard Halaster Blackcloak. Long has the Mad Mage dwelt in these forlorn depths, seeding his lair with monsters, traps, and mysteries—to what end is a constant source of speculation and concern."

About me
I'm a laid-back GM who's here to make sure everyone has a great time! I run prewritten 5e adventures with a focus on ensuring things run smoothly, incorporating player backstories where it makes sense. I strive to make things feel just like your at-home table--no strict formalities, just a fun time rolling dice!
View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
Character creation will happen on D&D Beyond in the time between joining and your first session. I will be happy to clarify any questions via Discord or StartPlaying DMs. Characters will start at the same level as the rest of the party (currently 1), and more or less anything in my shared content on Beyond is on the table plus any homebrew I have pre-built in Beyond. If something doesn't fit naturally, I will work with you to either make it fit or figure out an option that does.
Current party makeup (Level 1): Dwarf Monster Hunter Harengon Rogue Drow Bard Aasimar Barbarian Shadar-Kai Wizard
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players will need a mic for voice chat, as well as a Discord account. D&D Beyond is preferred for creating characters, but I will also accept other forms of character sheet and will manually create the character under my own account if necessary (I will need to do so to import into Foundry). If you have an already-created character you wish to bring in, I need to review it before we begin so I can make sure it fits with the game.
What DM Dan brings to the table
I will share content on D&D Beyond with the group, as well as access to Foundry for when we play. In-game, I generally provide music, do character voices (within reason for my vocal range), and stick fairly close to Rules as Written (with a couple minor exceptions). That said, I'm happy to work with you if you have a cool idea that isn't too far out there, and we can make a ruling in the moment.
Homebrew rules
The only notable homebrew rule I use is that anyone can attempt to use any spell scroll, but if you can't normally use it and fail a check, a mishap may occur.

Safety
How DM Dan creates a safe table
At any time if you need to bring up something happening that is a problem for you, let me know however you are comfortable with (Discord DM, in-game chat, verbally, etc). In session 0, we can go over anything that is a hard no or any other details.
