About the adventure
"The rules of the game are simple: die, you lose. Win, you get your freedom.. and a wish. Anything you can imagine. To win you have to reach my lair. Ten levels below this delightful madhouse of mine." ✨ Explore numerous, diverse and distinct levels, each with their own ecosystems and immersive maps, supported by curated music and ambience. ✨ Test your skills and wits against the demented genius of the Mad Mage and his games. ✨ Meet distinct NPCs, brought to life with detailed and beautiful art. ✨ Enjoy a balance between roleplaying and combat, where you can choose your own solution for each obstacle. The Realms are gone! The world is held hostage at the hands of the unfathomly brilliant, unimaginably powerful yet clearly insane archmage, Halaster Blackcloak. His demands? That you and your hastily assembled team of adventurers succeeds in beating ten full levels of a game show of his creation. Face absurd threats, unfair challenges and seemingly insurmountable obstacles, all while being watched by countless viewers across the Multiverse. How many levels can you survive? *Dungeon Crawler Halaster is a high level remix of the original Dungeon of the Mad Mage, heavily inspired by the beloved Dungeon Crawler Carl world.*

About me
Hey there! Since you're browsing for a game, let me tell you a bit about me and mine. I am a veteran DM with close to 20 years of experience. I have been a part of a plethora of campaigns and events. I've played with hundreds of both friends and strangers in houses, gaming stores, events, conventions and gaming clubs. For the last five years, I have been a full time DM, running several games every week. My main goal is to have fun games where my players can feel comfortable and become invested in. Nothing makes me feel happier in RPGs than listening to my players enthusiastically recount the tales we have created together. I specialize in fixing and optimizing official 5e modules. If you are hesitant to try an official adventure because you have heard they have issues, have no worries. My edited versions will be everything you have hoped! If all of the above got your attention, I hope I will see you in one of my games! If you have a request, a specific game you want to play, do not hesitate to ask, I am a master of all things 5e and can make anything happen!

Creating your character
We will be using a modified, 34 Point Buy which results in stronger characters. Options from the 2024 Core Rules plus the Expanded Rules are allowed. Come up with a character idea or two. Players will have access to the entirety of the allowed character options on D&D Beyond, along with a detailed guide on how to make a character. Either make one on your own or we can go through everything together in session 0. This will ensure a coherent party for a more harmonious game. Characters will be finalized during at the beginning of session 1, so you are free to make any changes until then. Pregenerated characters will be available on request.

Preparing for the session

Safety
How Themis "Zahariel" creates a safe table
We will be having a Session 0 to discuss expectations and safety. We will talk about lines, veils and limits to ensure it still remains a safe space and everyone feels comfortable. For our safety tools, we will be using Lines and Veils, the X,N,O card system inside Foundry VTT, as well as Stars & Wishes at the end of each session. Should the above not prove enough, I'm always available for any concerns. We will be taking a 10 minute break at an appropriate point close to the middle of the session. There will be a zero tolerance policy on bullying, sexual harassment, racism, hate speech and prejudice. Those who do not abide by these standards will be removed from the game with no refund.
