About the adventure

This campaign will begin with the adventure *Dead In Thay* from the *Tales From The Yawning Portal* collection, before shifting to the *Deadfall* campaign to be released in mid-September. The entire campaign will encompass levels 9-20. Deep in Thay, a nation notorious for its tyrannical, red-robed wizards, secrets are passed in the dark and a looming threat of unimagined power seeks to crumble societies. In this world of enchanted espionage, forge fragile alliances and undertake clandestine missions in this magical spy thriller adventure. 2024 Core Rulebooks only, plus material from *Arcana Unleashed* when it becomes available.

About me

I found my first Players Handbook under the Xmas tree long before they started numbering the various editions of any of these games, and have been playing ever since. I started DMing regularly for family and friends ten years ago, and soon branched out to offering games online, first as a side hustle and then as a full-time occupation. I like to explore every pillar of game play and have a particular liking for mysteries and puzzles, but I certainly know when it's time to roll dice and crunch monsters as well.
