About the adventure
Szass Tam Must Die Arcana Unleashed: Deadfall drops you into the fractured magocracy of Thay, where Szass Tam—one of the most powerful liches in D&D history—is weeks away from completing a ritual that will unleash demonic undead on the entire realm. Your party are the agents of Operation Deadfall, and you’re the only thing standing between Szass Tam and oblivion. Will you be bold enough to face the might of the lich Szass Tam – and stop him before he unleashes his demonic undead horde upon the world? Or will you let it all fall to ruin?

About me
Hello, misadventurers! I've been running games since 2014 and have several years of performance experience as the Dungeon Master on the family-friendly podcast, d20 Dames which ran from 2017-2023. When I'm not running games, I'm a freelance game designer and author at my owner-operated company, Steampunk Unicorn Studio. I've worked for clients such as Hasbro, Larian Studios, Wizards of the Coast, MCDM, Hit Point Press, and Roll & Play Press, and my game credits include: Blood in Baldur’s Gate, Betrayal at House on the Hill 3E, HeroQuest, and Divinity Original Sin the Board Game. My latest book, How to Be More D&D (Running Press Books), is an officially licensed publication through Dungeons & Dragons (Wizards of the Coast) and I was also a Creative Laureate with the Storytelling Collective in 2022.
View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
Character creation will take place ahead of session 1 on D&D Beyond in consultation with other players on Discord. Official rulebooks are welcome for character creation using the 5.5 rules and these are provided on D&D Beyond.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
We will play on D&D Beyond using the maps tools and on Discord for voice chat (video is optional).
What Kat Kruger brings to the table
I make use of ambient music but it can be muted in Discord. Most of my games are roleplay heavy but there is no expectation for players to use character voices. Generally, I follow Rules as Written but I am also a fan of the Rule of Cool within reason.

How Kat Kruger creates a safe table
I will send an RPG Consent Checklist ahead of session 1 and have lines & veils posted in a Discord channel for ease of reference. Using the X card is encouraged.
