About the adventure

Welcome to Chult, a land where death is absolute. Deep within the trackless, dinosaur-infested jungles, something ancient and cruel is twisting the cosmic order. A horrific global phenomenon known as the Death Curse has awoken. Anyone who has ever been raised from the dead is rapidly wasting away into dust, and when the living die, their souls are swallowed whole. You have been hired by the afflicted noble Syndra Silvane to map the wilderness, hunt down the source of this rot, and destroy it before the clock runs out. This is Tomb of Annihilation in "Meat Grinder" mode. The traps are devastating, the combat is brutal, and resurrection magic is completely broken. At this table, your choices carry massive weight. One wrong step can spell permanent death for your hero. Because the environment is unapologetically lethal, my DM style is highly adaptive to how our group wants to overcome these hurdles. As long as you are dedicated to showing up every week and helping us weave a legendary, unforgettable narrative, you will fit right in. To face this ultimate nightmare, you will build ultimate heroes. I am opening up specific, powerful homebrew rules to give your characters the edge they desperately need. You will roll stats using 4d6 (rerolling all 1s), giving you heroic baseline attributes. Every character gains a free Feat at level 1—and if your chosen race already grants a feat, you get a second one. Furthermore, we are utilizing the custom Talents system, granting your adventurer a unique talent at level 1 and every 3rd level after that. You will start with both standard starting equipment and your full starting gold to customize your kit from day one. Who is this for? This game is tailor-made for dedicated storytellers who love deep character customization, high-power builds, and high-stakes survival. If you are excited by the challenge of creating a uniquely powerful hero and testing their wits against the deadliest dungeon ever built, then pack your rations, sharpen your blades, and get ready to tell a story you'll talk about for years.
