About the adventure

### **Operation Deadfall** The shadow of Thay is spreading, and whispers of a secret operation have reached the wrong ears. As powerful magical forces move behind the scenes, you’ll be drawn into a dangerous game of espionage, infiltration, and arcane intrigue—one where the truth is often more dangerous than the lies. Szass Tam, the infamous lich-lord of Thay, is pursuing plans that could threaten far more than the lands surrounding Thay. Your party will need to navigate secret organizations, uncover hidden motives, infiltrate dangerous locations, and wield powerful magic as you attempt to piece together what Operation Deadfall really is—and who is pulling the strings. Expect a campaign filled with high-stakes investigation, explosive magical encounters, political intrigue, dangerous missions, and meaningful choices. Trust will be a valuable resource, because in a world of spies, necromancers, and powerful mages, the person standing beside you may be just as dangerous as the enemy waiting in the shadows.

Character creation

Creating your character

Players will make their characters on D&D Beyond which will be imported to FoundryVTT on session 0. You can make the character beforehand but it's recommended to wait for session 0 where we will all go over our characters together!

You'll face meaningful choices, memorable NPCs, and challenges that encourage teamwork. Beginner Support – New to D&D? No problem! I’m happy to walk you through the rules, help build your character, and explain things as we go. There's no gatekeeping here—just shared stories and epic moments.

Communication & Collaboration – I’m always open to feedback, and I check in regularly to make sure the game is fun and comfortable for everyone.

Safety

How Garion creates a safe table

Creating a fun, respectful, and inclusive space is my top priority. Before we begin, I’ll check in with players using tools like Lines & Veils, or a quick Session Zero discussion to make sure everyone is on the same page about tone, boundaries, and comfort levels. You are always welcome to speak up—during or after a session—if something makes you uncomfortable or you'd like to adjust the experience. I want you to feel safe, heard, and supported at the table. Hate speech, harassment, or disruptive behavior of any kind will not be tolerated. This is a table for everyone, and we're all here to have a good time together.
