About the adventure
⚔️ LEVELS: 1-20 📜 OVERVIEW: An epic adventure that unfolds in a small frontier mining town, before spiraling out into plane hopping madness! Unravel the mystery of the obelisk, and discover secrets that alter reality itself! 🏰 EPIC CAMPAIGN: This a super campaign and a work of passion! LMOP and the Vecna campaigns are redesigned as a sandbox. The overview maps you get to explore will be Sword Coast, Sigil and The Outlands. 🗺️ EPIC EXPLORATION: The overview maps (Sword Coast, Sigil and The Outlands) are fully constructed with foundry maps, and theatre of the mind for everything else. If you don’t like where the story is going, go somewhere else! 🌟 CONTENT RICH: This campaign includes: Dragon of Icespire Peak, Storm Lord’s Wraith, Sleeping Dragon’s Wake, Turn of Fortune’s Wheel, MCDM Flee Mortals and a small piece of Wild Beyond the Witchlight. I also wrote my own custom adventures to fill out Neverwinter. Everything I just listed are side quests. 🧱 LIVED IN TOWN AND CITIES: Phandalin, Leilon, Neverwinter, and Sigil are fully imagined with a map filled with NPCS for every named building or area. Rest in the inns, drink in the taverns, and shop in stores! Meet colorful NPCS that are as accurate as possible to the D&D lore, but sometimes, with a creative spin. 💰 EPIC SHOPS: Each shop has its own inventory and will expand with randomly rolled loot as you quest. Find rare magical items that are exclusive to your table! Now there’s a reason to visit all the towns… 👑 BECOME LEGEND: Your actions will shake the realms themselves and your decisions will shape the narrative! Become hero or villain and meet famous characters from D&D lore! 🎭 PLOT: The game will start with you receiving a letter from your old friend Gundred Rockseeker asking you to head to the small mining town of Phandalin. ✍️ GAME STYLE: I focus on pacing and storytelling, your character’s background and decisions matter. The story is sometimes comedic, but with a focus on a serious narrative. Combat is challenging: monsters are custom tailored for the table. 🛠️ A HELPFUL DM: I’ll give you as much support as a I can! I’ve often given foundry tutorials an hour before game time. I’ll respond to messages most times of the day and I don’t mind giving you one-on-one time. ✨WHAT AWAITS YOU: - Explore untamed frontiers brimming with detailed quests to delve into. - Live in fully detailed towns or cities with their own factions and politics. - Discover forgotten ruins and investigate the secrets of the obelisks! The game will use discord for voice and video and will use Foundry VTT alongside a sweeping soundscape. Character creation is handled on DnDBeyond. 🏳️🌈 LGBTQ+ Friendly | 🦺 Safe Space | 🎲 Beginner Friendly.

About me
Hello everyone! I hope you have a cozy warm stay at my table. I’ve been playing D&D for 28 years, I’ve started off playing it with my brother and I, and now it has evolved all the way to this. I’m currently playing two games a week, one in real life and one online over Foundry. I’ve taught many new players over the years, and I had tables with new and experienced players at the same time, often people I’ve met from work with players I’ve known for years. I'm excellent at explaining the rules and keeping the game going. Brewing tales is my passion, and I take pride in bringing the player’s story into the grand narrative. I like to take published adventures and fill them with choices and dilemmas, usually personal to the characters. I love being a Dungeon Master because I want to see where the narrative goes and see what choices you make. My table is LQBTQ+ inclusive.

Creating your character
Character creation will be handled on DNDBeyond. I have the latest official books up the artificer and forgotten realms double bundle. This game will use the 2024/5.5 ruleset. There are no class or species restrictions, you can use 2024 classes with 2014 subclasses. The game will be using milestone for level ups. Stats will be either point buy or roll for stats depending what the table wants.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players will need discord and a microphone. You don't need a webcam but a webcam helps reading players faces for roleplay. This game is played over foundry and it's hosted by sqyre. You will only need a internet browser to play. Please make sure your character is ready before the first session. If you need any assistance, I love to help!
What Sennith brings to the table
DM who's is on your side and wants to see you do cool things! I play music via discord for ambiance and combat. I use a lot of images to explain things. I use foundry to build out the game world. For instance most places on the map will have a battlemap attached to it. I make mistakes and and laugh about it. (especially when roleplaying more than one character)
Homebrew rules
I plan on starting off the campaign rules as written and added homebrew as needed. Basically depending on the needs on the table, I'll adjust the rules. Playing TTRPGS is should be around fun and if any rules gets in the way of that, I'll adjust. Homebrew rules I've used in the past includes: - Jump, Longstrider, and Feather Fall as ritual spells - Limited consumable items like healing potions or scrolls of fireball to a maximun of 10
