About the adventure
A one-shot adventure for up to six level 10 adventurers. All players are welcome at my table, whether you're brand new or you've been rolling dice for years :) A cult has turned a flying city into a meteor, a miles-wide weapon that will kill everyone aboard and unleash continent-wide devastation. The mightiest archmages have woven a temporal barrier to slow the descent, but it’s burning out by the minute. That’s where you come in. You’ll plunge into the falling city and break through the cult's defenses to re-enable the levitation wards. You have only two hours with countless lives hanging in the balance. Are you ready?

About me
I’m a GM who builds worlds full of history, mystery, and consequences that react to your choices. My tables are heroic and a little bit cheeky, where you can face impossible odds and still joke that the dragon needs a breath mint. I celebrate your victories, embrace your choices, and weave your character’s story into the world itself, shaping the adventure around what we create together.

Creating your character
You will build your character prior to the one-shot in D&DBeyond. I will be fully available to aid and answer any questions on discord to help. The starting level is 10, and you can use Standard Array or Standard Point Buy for stats. Starting gear is per players handbook. You start with one common, two uncommon, and one rare magic items, plus 1500 gp. (If you’re unsure what to pick, I can recommend items that fit your class!) We're playing on the 2024 ruleset, and you can use any official content, so long as it's the most recently updated version. You may utilize any of the books I have on Dndbeyond (pretty much all of them) to build your character :)
What to expect
Preparing for the session
- Voice: Discord (mic required; headphones recommended) - Virtual Tabletop: Foundry for maps/combat - Character sheet: Build on D&D Beyond (Beyond20 optional if you like rolling from DDB, else I'll import to Foundry to play there) - What you need: free accounts for Discord + D&D Beyond, and a computer (no mobile/tablet) - After you join, I’ll send you my Discord info, the Foundry link, and an invite to my server, so we can get you set up :)
What Red Archon brings to the table
- A Discord server for voice and coordination - A Foundry server with high-quality maps, dynamic lighting, animations, and curated music - Smooth onboarding and tech help before we start - Fast, cinematic pacing with vivid descriptions and clear tactical information - A GM with 5,000+ hours on VTTs and experience with hundreds of players - Optional character/build advice if you want it (no pressure)

How Red Archon creates a safe table
This is a high-fantasy one-shot with danger, time pressure, and themes of disaster fantasy/horror. We’ll do quick Lines & Veils before play, and you can also message me privately on Discord ahead of time if there’s anything you’d rather not discuss in a group.
