About the adventure

Welcome to Chult! A breeding ground for bloodsucking, disease-bearing insects, monstrous reptiles, carnivorous birds and beasts of every variety, and murderous undead. The farther one moves from the coast, the more humid, hot, and inhospitable the land becomes. With the exception of a few coastal settlements, Chult is untamed tropical wilderness: dense jungles and snaky rivers ringed by mountains, volcanoes, and sheer escarpments. Walls of mountains to the west, south, and east shield the interior from the sea and from the view of sailors. The rivers are so sluggish that it can be difficult determining which direction is upstream and which is down. The rivers pick up speed only where they thunder down through steep-sided gorges. What to expect? Jungle Survival - Battle against diseases, dehydration, undead and hungry reptilian jaws as you explore the deadly jungle! Exploration - Explore the jungle with a professional guide through a hexcrawl. Danger and treasure can be around every corner! Deadly Traps & Combat - The combat can be unforgiving, always remember running is an option! Not every random encounter will be scaled to your level. Also expect deadly puzzles! But the treasure will be worth it ;) Immersion using Foundry VTT - Expect great immersion through dynamic lighting, fog exploration, and amazing soundtrack to really bring you into the jungle. ~As an extra bonus, session 0 is for FREE :D While having a basic knowledge of the rules is certainly helpful, it is not required. No downloads are required, but you will need an account on Discord and Forge. Forge will be used to run the game in Foundry. All you need is the free player account. This adventure starts at level 1.

About me

Hey everyone! My name is Kim, I've been playing D&D and DMing campaigns for 7 years. I love to work together with my players to create a story for the ages! I highly value Roleplaying in my games and tend to really weave the characters into the narrative: You are part of the world we're playing in! I can't host enough D&D sessions, but sadly my friends tend to somehow have a life and I am thus in need of new players! Are you the player I am looking for? Hopefully, I am the DM for you :D I run my sessions on Foundry which allows me to create massive immersion using battle maps, music, sound effects, animations etc.

Character creation

Creating your character

During session 0 we will be creating your character. We are going to roll for stats and everyone shares the same stat spread. You may use any core WOTC species (except Yuan-ti) and classes/subclasses, but use the 2024 version when available. You can bring the artificer, however there will be no guns available in the game.

What to expect

Preparing for the session

You require a reliable internet connection to use Foundry (run through Forge) and Discord. Have a good quality mic available. The use of a webcam isn't mandatory, the DM however will use a webcam for better RP.

What Kim brings to the table

We will be using Foundry VTT, complete with maps, music, custom tokens, spell animations, and more! There will be a community server on Discord where you can meet other players from my games and where additional information will be provided. The sessions are also held within discord. I primarily focus on RP and really hone in on the characters and their fears/insecurities. I use a whisper channel on discord for secret conversations/dreams/nightmares/etc for the players during the session. I also like to challenge my players in difficult tactical combat. All in all, my mission is to provide you all with a fun, challenging and engaging story full with hard moral choices.

Homebrew rules

• Flanking provides a +2 on your attack roll instead of advantage. • Crit rules: max + die roll (you will always do more damage, even when rolling a 1) • To offset the massive crit, healing potions will heal the maximum amount. • Bonus action to drink a health potion, Action to feed it to someone else. • You can’t move through enemy space and moving through friendly space is difficult terrain. • Material components need to be in your inventory when they have a gold cost (for example, a pearl worth 100gp for identify) or when it needs to be consumed within a certain time (blood from a humanoid who died within the past 24 hours) -> Yes, demon summoning spells need this, don’t ask me 😆 • Lingering injury using Maxwell's Manual of Malicious Maladies.
