About the adventure
In this campaign you will: 🧟 Battle Undead 🔍 Uncover a sinister plot 🕵️ Become Spies ✨ Use High Magic 💀 Stop Szass Tam, a ruling wizard and lich of Thay If you like high-level D&D, espionage and spycraft, and high-magic settings this is the campaign for you! In Thay, mages known as the Red Wizards rule a sinister society where magic and deceit rule supreme. These wizards dominate all of Thayan society with an iron grip. Navigating such a world is already precarious, but the unrelenting ambition of all Red Wizards make it exceedingly dangerous. The former lich ruler of Thay, Szass Tam, made some concerning proclamations before disappearing. Your role will be discovering and foiling whatever sinister plot he has concocted. This campaign takes place in the context of and in the wider world of the Forgotten Realms. Any character creation or lore would be related to this campaign setting. I DM games using the FoundryVTT software that helps me run faster combats and more jam-packed sessions. My aim is to minimize the parts of the game that are tedious and maximize the epic moments you want with your characters. Starting time, session day, session length, and party size are all somewhat flexible. Please DM me if there are any questions surrounding the campaign.

About me
I started as a Dungeon Master online at the beginning of 2020. I know my tools inside and out, and I know how to create a tabletop experience online because it is the medium I started in. I take advantage of the technology whenever I can to enhance everyone's experience by automating the tedious parts of the game so more focus can be put on aspects of the game you love. I use a combination of D&D Beyond, FoundryVTT and Discord to run my games. I am looking forward to meeting you! Please message me if you have any questions!

Creating your character
Characters will be made with D&D Beyond during the session zero. Stats will be generated through a modified rolling system. You are free to not use D&D Beyond; just please let me know beforehand. Alternatively, I can also provide a pregenerated character to you.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You will at least need a mic, Discord account, a stable internet connection, and a D&D Beyond account (if you want easy access to my content library on the platform). Everything else can be taken care of by me. Reading over the rules and becoming more familiar with D&D is also always useful. I'll also go over FoundryVTT with you if you would like me to.
What Justin brings to the table
I provide the majority of official books on D&D Beyond via content sharing, and I also have a community of people who are currently on my games on Discord. I also utilize FoundryVTT for battlemaps and world maps. I am bringing years of D&D experience online, and I am looking forward to starting a new campaign with you.
Homebrew rules
You may choose your spellcasting ability score (wisdom, intelligence, or charisma) independently of your class. Examples of this include an intelligence based warlock or a wisdom based paladin. When taking levels in a class you may choose to take a subclass feature from any subclass of that class of equal or lower level to that subclass feature. In some instances this may not work, like an Assassin taking the Soul Blades feature from a Soulknife due to the Assassin’s lack of psi dice.
