About the adventure
Chult is beautiful, ancient, and absolutely trying to kill you. A death curse is spreading, and the answer lies somewhere beyond Port Nyanzaru, past hungry jungles, forgotten cities, undead horrors, and ruins best left buried. You’ll choose the path, decide who to trust, and live with what your expedition awakens. This is a character-driven adventure with dangerous exploration, meaningful roleplay, tactical combat, and plenty of room for clever ideas. The campaign is deadly, but never careless with your character or your time. New players are welcome. I’ll help with the rules, give everyone room to shine, and build a table where we can laugh together, even when Chult is closing in.

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 1 📊 Use Point Buy 📘 2024 rules as the foundation 🔄 2014 options when there is no 2024 version 🛠️ Homebrew & Unearthed Arcana require approval 🚫 No Grim Hollow or Crooked Moon 🤝 Connect your character to the party 🌿 Bring a reason to travel to Chult 🧭 Build someone who will keep going 📜 Your character’s backstory matters. I’ll always take the backstory you give me and homebrew it into the module. Explorers, scholars, treasure hunters, mercenaries, pilgrims, and desperate heroes all fit naturally. Before leaving Port Nyanzaru, we’ll make sure everyone feels connected, campaign-ready, and part of the expedition.
