About the adventure
At an archaeological dig an ancient site of power is revealed. As the tomb rises from the sands of the scorching desert an ancient curse is unleashed and the race to control the powerful treasure within begins. Will you wield this power to free the realm once and for all of its despotic ruler or will you become a monster of your own making tempted by raw magic and unlimited power? "The Pharaoh's Heart" is an epic tomb raiding adventure full of mystery, horror, magic and survival for characters levels 1-12 set in the ancient Egyptian themed domain of Har'Akir from D&D's, "Ravenloft: The Horror's Within." The domain is ruled by the Darklord Ankhtepot, an immortal Pharaoh. The people suffer under his rule as his orders cause the destruction of whole towns with mass sacrifices and the removal of desert oasis's. No amount of treasure seems to satisfy his hunger, as his mysterious desperate search continues unending and unrelenting. Players can expect to encounter a wondrous world full of discoveries, ancient secrets, and a chance to prove your survival skills: * Ancient Tombs, Thrilling Dungeon Crawls * Classic Desert Creatures * Monstrous Mummies & The Undead * Ancient Magical Curses Some sources of inspiration include: * The Mummy * Indianna Jones * Sahara & Tomb Raider * Assassin's Creed Origins

About me
Beginner-friendly + Epic Adventures | D&D 5e with Creativity & Heart I specialize in creating welcoming, inclusive and beginner-friendly D&D tables that balance player freedom with strong story-telling immersion and pacing. Whether its your first campaign or you’re returning experienced player, my goal is to make sure everyone feels supported, engaged, and excited to play together. 2026: Welcome to the Year of the Drow! Every year I run a new theme, so returning players always get something fresh while beginners get a focused learning experience featuring classic enemies and memorable locations without becoming overwhelmed. This year is all about the infamous Spider Queen Lolth and the indoctrinated Drow that worship her. Cruel, power-hungry, and dangerously intelligent, Lolth's Drow are a force to be reckoned with. Each campaign will heavily feature classic drow villains, plots of dark intrigue, and intense combat all set in unforgettable locations in the Forgotten Realms. A little bit about me: Once I played my first Dungeons and Dragons game in 2014 with 5th ed. I knew there was no going back, I was hooked immediately. To me there is nothing more thrilling than watching a group of us wonderful misfits and mavericks team up to become epic heroes on an adventure we build together. I’ve been in love with fantasy and sci-fi since I can remember and have a deep abiding love for both Star Wars and Lord of the Rings. In my down time you might find me listening to ridiculously loud music while knitting, saving the world as Commander Shepard or more recently Tav, watching a murder mystery, and if it’s the holidays I’ve probably already started a rewatch of either LOTR, Star Wars or both.

What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players will need to have a free Roll20 and free Discord account. On sign-up players will receive a survey to complete and a campaign PDF that provides additional adventure background details and character creation tips. Upon completion of the player survey, players will receive an invitation to the private discord server and Roll20 game.
What Britt brings to the table
We'll be playing using the Roll20 and Ravenloft: The Horrors Within addon. This means you can expect gorgeous maps, player handouts, character tokens and art. Music is included and individuals can set the volume to suit their needs. I provide a welcoming, story-driven D&D experience where everyone gets a chance to shine. My games focus on immersive role-playing, meaningful character moments, and cinematic combat. My GM style embraces the Rule of Cool when it enhances the narrative, while still respecting the rules to keep the game fair and consistent. I teach game mechanics as we play, making this a beginner-friendly table that also stays interesting for experienced players. I provide players with session highlights and adventure recaps in discord and Roll20. Above all, I prioritize teamwork, clear communication, and a supportive table culture where creativity is encouraged and everyone feels comfortable taking part.

How Britt creates a safe table
This is a LGBTQ+ welcoming and affirming table! Player safety and comfort are a priority. During Session Zero, we’ll review all of the safety tools chosen, with full resources available in our private Discord server. The player survey I send out also provides a link to the Monte Cook RPG Consent Checklist. Survey results are used to create the campaigns Lines and Veils. While the Lines and Veils document may be shared with players, all contributions remain anonymous. We use the X card, with a digital option players that play without a web camera. Each session includes a 10-minute break halfway through, and aftercare or check-ins are used when intense moments arise. Stars and Wishes may be submitted privately after each session. Hate speech, racism, discrimination, or real-world threats have zero tolerance and result in immediate dismissal. I provide a robust Code of Conduct PDF for all players so it's clear what unacceptable behaviour is at the table.
