About the adventure
Aye, gather ‘round, and I’ll spin ye a tale; one of greed, gold, and the curse of Captain Mac Midas. Twelve centuries past, he was no ordinary buccaneer, but a sea warlock of dreadful renown, a man who prized gold above the breath in his lungs. They say his hunger for riches knew no bounds, not even respect for his own infernal patron. When the fool sought to steal treasure from the very demon who granted him power, the fiend took its due severed Mac’s mortal hand and set in its place one forged from the fires of Hell itself. ‘Twas a ghastly thing, they say, black as pitch and gleaming like molten coin. Yet with that cursed claw, the captain found he could turn anythin’ he touched into solid gold. At first, the power filled him with delight. He gilded his weapons, his spoils, even the figurehead of his ship. But greed turned to horror soon enough. When he raised his cup in triumph, the ale turned molten, searing through wood and flesh alike. The food he touched hardened to lifeless metal, and his laughter curdled into screams. In madness, Mac struck the mast of his beloved vessel, and before his crew could flee, the whole ship turned to shining gold and sank beneath the waves, heavy as sin itself. Only the captain managed to crawl upon a lonely isle, clutchin’ the cursed hand that doomed him. There he wandered, his touch spreading gold across the land until the island itself gleamed like the sun; and he vanished within it, lost forever. To this day, the Golden Isle glitters on calm seas, callin’ out to all manner of scoundrels and dreamers who’d claim its cursed fortune. Yet heed this warning: of all who’ve set sail to find it, but one lone soul ever returned. So tell me, mate… will ye and yer crew brave the golden tomb o’ Captain Mac Midas, and test your fate against the curse that claimed him?

About me
What is up! My name is Lee, and I was born a nerd. Comics, Video Games, Movies, and Books, I've always loved fantasy in all its forms. I got into Dungeons and Dragons just months before Baldur's Gate 3 came out, and after putting in over 2000 hours, I dove into the tabletop game fully. I've been playing in several games a week since then, until I recently decided to try my hand at DMing. I've been periodically DMing for personal friends since January of 2025, and now I want to open my absolutely wild, bizarre, grimdark, hope-filled but not too hope-filled world to others seeking high-level Dungeons & Dragons games.

Homebrew rules
ROLLING A NAT 20 ON A DEATH SAVING THROW If a player rolls a critical success on a death saving throw, they immediately regain consciousness and regain hit points equal to their level. This happens at the start of their turn, allowing them to then act as normal. ADDITIONAL WILDSHAPE OPTIONS FOR DRUIDS Druids can add the Owlbears and the Displacer Beast into their Wildshape options, although these cost 2 wildshape uses instead of 1. (NOTICE! You must still be able to wildshape into CR 3 creatures.) CONSUMING A POTION WHILE ALREADY UNDER THE EFFECTS OF A POTION... Consuming a potion while you have one already active risks giving yourself a rumbly tumbly. Players must then roll on the Potion Miscibility table.

How Lee creates a safe table
The game will be gritty fantasy but not too dark and I want to keep this game fun and lighthearted. To ensure everyone is having the best time they can, I maintain an open-door policy. If you become uncomfortable with something that has occurred in-game, players are more than encouraged to send me a message on Discord and if needed we can pause the game to resolve the issue. We will also be quickly going over lines and veils at the start of the session as well as content warnings. We have X, N, & O cards available on DnD Beyond for players to immediately utilize.
