About the adventure

Undermountain. 23 massive, unforgiving levels stretching from the underbelly of Waterdeep all the way to the heart of the Underdark. This is the biggest, longest, and most combat packed official campaign in 5e history. If your idea of a great DnD session is exploring, kicking down doors and rolling handfuls of damage dice, you are in the right place. This game is designed for the people who love the tactical crunch of combat. Smart tactics, good party synergy, and resource management will be required. All the way to level 20. The Mad Mage's domain is not for the faint of heart. You'll clash with drow strike teams, aberrant horrors, archmages, ancient terrors... Without the slightest accommodation from your host. Bring your best builds and a backup or two. Step into that bucket and let's see if you get the last mad laugh.

About me

The juice flows and quenches the thirst of the realms. Curve ball player turned dedicated GM. Hardened by chaotic tables, the pull of something more was strong, and thus serenity prevailed to discover the worlds we can build together. I'm here to explore the boundaries of reality, ahem, to have fun and take you on a journey to those worlds.

Character creation

Creating your character

Together we'll figure out quickly if this is the game for you, as that is the most important part. I'll invite you to a Discord Server dedicated to the game, along with a DnDBeyond Campaign so you can create a Character from a multitude of options. Roll for stats, and I'll help you with character creation and anything else, as much as you need.

What to expect

Preparing for the session

You need a computer with access to the internet, and a good mic is very much appreciated. You will need to join a Discord server, and interact with a VTT through a browser.

What JUICE brings to the table

There will be quality maps, scenes and ambient music for every situation. I will share with you an extensive library for you to create your character and will always have our VTT space prepared for the adventure. I will bring the world to life by fleshing out locations and NPCs and making sure the spirit of Undermountain remains as intended. Combat will be frequent and lethal in this game. Rules as Written are enforced, with some Rule of Cool rights reserved to enjoy it further. Everything is aimed at you enjoying your journey through Undermountain. Laughter is recommended to shake off the madness, especially if your characters die horribly. Note on Art: To give unique faces to minor NPCs and quick visual flavor to a few scenes, I occasionally use AI-assisted art. All tactical battle maps are human-crafted.

Safety

How JUICE creates a safe table

Individually checking with each player for their lines and veils and enforcing them as if they are my own, making the player's boundaries anonymous if so desired. Session 0 will set expectations and general rules, both of conduct and otherwise. There will be a short in session break to give us all time to refresh and enjoy the experience fully, and open door policy is guaranteed: you can step out at any moment you need to.
