Chains of Carceri, a new level 22-27 epic campaign

Creating your character

You will make your character by first making a single class level 20 pc, then following the level up rules laid out in epic legacy (google link below). I suggest everyone make their character sheets on roll20, as it's easier to manually edit them and fill out your extra abilities for epic tier. You will have access to my full roll20 compendium to build your character (similar to dndbeyond). You can make your character in dndbeyond instead, but I'm not proficient in the system for character building management so I will not be able to help you if you have problems inputing your new abilities. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1E0zamXcPbTNmnaboux02vaWrgO22_haN?usp=sharing Character creation rules: Level 22 Point buy (27) Sourcebooks allowed: Epic Legacy, Dungeon Master's Guide, Player's Handbook, Fizban’s Treasury of Dragons, Mordenkainen’s Tome of Foes, Sword Coast Adventurer’s Guide, Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything, Volo’s Guide to Monsters, Xanathar’s Guide to Everything, Van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft, Monsters of the Multiverse, Glory of the Giant, Book of Many Things Magic items: Allowed from sourcebooks above 2 legendary or 1 artifact (artifact must be approved by DM) 4 very rare or lower 5 consumables of your choice (no potion of giant size) Banned items: legendary weapons from White Plume Mountain, Talisman of Pure Good, horns of valhalla, jester's mask, spindle of fate, spell gems, broom of flying, adamantine plate you can only benefit from one stat book per stat You will start out with 10,000gp for mundane purposes.

Preparing for the session

Players need a working mic and access to a computer. The game will be held over discord and roll20, so you will need an account on both. Players will need to make their character sheet ahead of time in roll20 or dndbeyond. If dndbeyond, they will need to have the chrome extension beyond20. Also think about who your character is trying to rescue from Carceri. What was their crime? Who were they imprisoned by? Are they innocent or guilty?

What Dev Alva brings to the table

To the campaign: First of all, I would like to say that I consider myself to be fairly experienced with epic level (21+) play, as I have three ongoing campaigns now with this system. I absolutely love the epic level shenanigans, epic fights, and rolling a massive amount of dice. My favorite tier to run regularly is tier 4, or level 20 play, and this is just an extension of that! I love extremely powerful pcs facing down world ending threats, or epic level npcs/monsters. My dming style: I work hard to provide an immersive online experience for my players. I use music and soundscapes to set the mood. I use imagery for theatre of the mind roleplay, and beautiful maps from various sources for combat and exploration. I am constantly improving my roll20 room with effects and visuals for you all to enjoy. I make sure to give everyone a chance for their character to shine, and play to their strengths and abilities. In my games you can expect challenging combat, great improvisation, and an immersive world to play in. I put player agency and involvement first, and I want to emphasize the fact that this game is a cooperative environment between myself and the players. This is a very open world campaign, determined by which direction your characters want to go in. I run my games RAW, or rules as written. If you have a rules question for me that I haven't come across before or forgotten about, I will pause the game momentarily to look it up and make sure everything is according to the spirit of the rules. I reference Sage Advice/Jeremy Crawford tweets but have my own opinions as well (such as the interpretation of magic missile, shield master feat, and dispel magic).

Homebrew rules

I use one homebrew rule, and that is you can drink a potion as a bonus action.

This game uses safety tools. There will be no sexual assault, homophobia or transphobia in my games.
