About the adventure
Your adventure begins in the city of Jigow, where a festival contest starts a race across the world of Exandria against a rival adventuring party. What starts as celebration soon pulls you into ancient secrets, divine sorrow, strange visions, and the dark waters of the Netherdeep. This is heroic fantasy with emotional weight, bold adventure, strong roleplay, recurring rivals, tactical combat, and choices that shape who you become. The tone is hopeful, mysterious, and sometimes tragic, built around one haunting question; what does it mean to save someone who may not want, or deserve, to be saved? We’ll use D&D 5.5e while preserving the adventure’s original structure. Newer players are welcome, but this is not a passive ride. Your decisions, relationships, and rivalries will matter.

About me
Hi folks! I’m Bauric, and Dungeons & Dragons has become one of the great joys of my life. Maybe you feel the same way. Maybe you’ve been playing for years, collecting dice you absolutely do not need, and building characters you may or may not ever get to use. Or maybe you’re brand new, a little curious, and wondering if this whole “roll dice and pretend to fight goblins” thing is actually for you. Either way, I think we’ll get along just fine. At my Table, I try to run games that feel welcoming, cinematic, and full of memorable moments. I love a good creepy mystery, a dramatic villain speech, a desperate last stand, and the kind of ridiculous table joke that somehow becomes permanent campaign lore. As a Dungeon Master, I care most about making sure everyone feels comfortable, involved, and excited to come back. New players are always welcome at my table, and experienced players will still find plenty of room for big choices, dangerous fights, strange discoveries, and character moments that actually matter. I mostly run D&D 5.5 / 2024 rules, with 5e compatibility where it makes sense. The rules matter, but the story and the people at the table matter more. Think I might be your kind of DM? Come join a game, send me a message, and let’s roll some dice.

Creating your character
🧙 No character creation is needed before Session 0 🤝 We’ll form the party together during Session 0 🎲 Start at Level 3 📊 Use Point Buy 📘 2024 rules as the foundation 🔄 2014 options when there is no 2024 version 🛠️ Homebrew and Unearthed Arcana require approval 🚫 No Grim Hollow or Crooked Moon 🤝 Connect your character to the party 🎉 Bring a reason to be in Jigow 🌊 Build someone ready to follow the mystery 📜 Your character’s backstory matters. I’ll always take the backstory you give me and homebrew it into the module. Adventurers, scholars, performers, rivals, pilgrims, and curious heroes all fit naturally. Before leaving Jigow, we’ll make sure everyone feels connected, campaign-ready, and part of the journey.
The Party is Level 4 - Brun Ironveil - Dwarven Twilight Domain Cleric - Sami Ludlow - Human Draconic Sorcerer - Severiano "Sever" Moriendo - Sea Elf Rogue/Wizard
