About the adventure

Deep beneath the surface of the world lies the Underdark; a realm of endless labyrinthine tunnels and caverns where the sun never shines. The Underdark is filled with monsters, and deadly civilizations. Chief amongst these is the Drow. Hated and feared even by their fellow dwellers in darkness, the Drow raid other settlements in the Underdark as well as the surface world, taking prisoners back with them. Rendered unconscious with Drow poison, then collared and shackled, these prisoners are eventually sold as slaves or entertainment in the dark elves’ subterranean cities. By unfortunate Fate you have found yourself one of these prisoners. Elsewhere in the Underdark Drow wizards work to increase the power of their Houses. They aren't in control however, for their plans will soon be secondary to the plans of Demon Lords.

About me

Hi! I've been Gming ttrpgs for 31 years, and I love it. I build open worlds that shift and change around the players; where you can go anywhere and adventure is just around the corner. I excel at helping players build backstories and weaving them into the game. As a GM I truly believe that the table top is about bringing the player's story to life, and making that happen is my favorite part of ttrpg. It's important to me to run an inclusive, safe table. To that I end I employ session zero, a discord, open discussion policy, a zero tolerance of bigotry policy. Politics are inevitable in an rpg game, however hate has no place.
