About the adventure
Your party of surviving adventurers work to oust Vecna from his throne in Waterdeep. Travel across what remains of the Sword Coast, after every adventure published in 5e went wrong, in an attempt to free Toril from the Maimed Lord Vecna's control. Faerûn has changed dramatically in the years since Vecna’s conquest. Tiamat holds court over the dragons of the Realms from atop her Soaring Citadel. Zariel wages war over the cratered ruin that was once Baldur’s Gate. The drow elf Jarlaxle, one of the last hopes for a dying realm, rules over the sailing city of Qu’madosfan Delmah. And the Frostmaiden Auril’s arctic grasp expands ever outwards. Pair this new setting with new alternate rules for every class, including new classes entirely, and enjoy a more tactical, equitable game! Martial exploits, tweaked spells, and adjusted feats and fighting styles to balance out different playstyles and characters with Laserllama's free rules.

About me
My name is Josiah, but I usually go by Brick online. I'm 29 years old, and I've been playing and running D&D 5e games for almost 8 years now. Online shows and podcasts brought me into the realm, and these productions have encouraged me to explore the medium of running tabletop RPGs online.

Creating your character
An expanded stat array (17, 15, 13, 12, 10, 8) along with one free feat. I have extensive third-party content to offer to enhance your character's vision, be it new classes, races, spells, feats or items! They'll all be available in easily viewable pdfs and ported into roll20 (not D&D Beyond)
The party is 3rd level Caelus - Spellbreaker Magus Lethe - Astute Psion Pelagia - The Deep One Warlock
What to expect
Preparing for the session
If you're added me on Discord (@brickj343), then I've already linked you to my discord server, the roll20 game, and my third-party content.
What Brick brings to the table
Roll20 Compendium, tokens, and 3rd-party PDFs via Drive.
Homebrew rules
• Healing Potions as a Bonus Action Healing potions heal for maximum amount as an action, and for the normal dice roll as a bonus action. Feeding a potion to someone takes an action and uses the normal dice roll. • Monster Harvesting Monsters can be harvested with a variable DC, a skill proficiency determined by monster type, and a combined dexterity and intelligence check. These materials can then be sold or used to craft mundane and magic items over downtime, with proper tool proficiencies and item recipes. • No Silvery Barbs Certain spells have been tweaked, down-graded, or otherwise retrofitted for smoother play

Safety
How Brick creates a safe table
Any safety tools can be discussed- these are general things I forsee possibly happening in a fantasy post-apocalyptic campaign, not things that will 100% happen.
