About the adventure
When a treasure map leads into the Underdark, daring adventurers might find more than they bargained for in the shadows. Deep beneath the world, on an island in a sunless sea, lies a strange and alien tower bearing a terrible secret and a mysterious treasure. Descend into darkness, explore a bizarre city, and climb the tower. Along the way, meet faces both friendly and strange, withstand mind-bending psionics, and confront a terrible foe from every hero's worst nightmare. End the dream and awaken in Underdark Descent, an exciting one shot adventure for 12th level characters. This one shot is human made.

About me
I like to weave a dramatic narrative through a balance of roleplay and tactical combat, setting the stage for heroes to be brave in the face of overwhelming odds. I aim to create an experience where players are thrilled by epic challenges, have lots of laughs, and feel the emotional weight of a shared story in a highly immersive experience. I strive to create a welcoming, respectful, and safe community for LGBTQ+, BIPOC, and neurodivergent players. I am a transfemme person myself, and I have no tolerance for bigotry of any kind. This is a space to create, collaborate, and share in the fun of the hobby together. I am an avid user of safety tools to keep my games fun and light-hearted. Even when the fictional tensions are high, the game stays fun! I will handcraft an adventure for you based on your group's interests, featuring my own custom maps, characters, and storylines. Do you prefer a thrilling narrative where RP takes priority, do you enjoy a good dungeon crawl, or maybe a harmonious blend of the two? I will happily accommodate your group to offer the best play experience I can provide! Additionally, if you have an adventure module you would like me to run for you, I would be more than happy to provide such an experience as well! My price for a custom game is $30 per person. Sessions are typically 3-4 hours, but the session duration can be tailored to your preference. I will provide a captivating experience featuring custom maps, fun NPCs, and quality voice acting. I will incorporate your characters' goals, flaws, and backstories into the narrative. For me, the comfort, wants, and needs of my players always take priority.

Homebrew rules
All house rules are available on the Discord server for ease of reference. - Flanking provides a +2 bonus to an attack roll. - Moving through allies counts as Difficult Terrain. - You can attempt to move through an enemy's space by succeeding at an Acrobatics or Athletics check. - You can take the Study action during combat to learn the strengths and weakness of a creature you can see. - When you reroll a d20 Test, Advantage and Disadvantage apply to the reroll as they did the first roll. - You can use Heroic Inspiration to allow an ally to reroll (but not an enemy). - If you roll a Natural 1, you gain Heroic Inspiration. - Natural 1 always fails, Natural 20 always succeeds. - While your hero is Dying, you may continue to take actions, but doing so risks certain death. - Recovering from Dying leaves you Wounded, giving you Disadvantage on Death Saves.
