About the adventure
A beginner-friendly adventure for level 1 characters that will delight even seasoned adventurers. Your story brings you to the Moonshae Isles, a distant kingdom of hundreds of islands ruled by a benevolent king. For years, peace has reigned among the humans, fey, and other inhabitants. Now, a vile curse threatens to destroy this beautiful land, and dark forces plot to overthrow the fragile peace. Fans of fairy tales, Arthurian folklore, and swashbuckling Norse stories will love this open-ended campaign set in the Moonshae Isles, several hundred miles off the coast of Baldur's Gate. 🥾 Explore by land or sea an island chain teeming with adventure, from the depths of the ocean floor, to lush plains and valleys, to the highest mountain peaks. 📚 Delve into the millennias-long settings of the Moonshae Isles, from long-forgotten giant kingdoms, to ethereal fey strongholds, to expanding human settlements, and beyond. 🧙♂️ Create a unique character and make your mark on the Moonshae Isles, forging a heroic tale that will be sung about in the island's taverns and great halls for eons to come. ⚔ Go toe-to-toe with rust-covered monsters, giants, fey tricksters, and human raiders as you sail the seas and plumb the depths of the Moonshae's oldest dungeons and tombs. The Moonshae Isles teeter on the precipice of disaster. Do you have the strength, wisdom, and charm to pull it back from the brink?

About me
Hi! I’m Dylan. 📖 Storyteller 🙋🏾♂️ POC 🌈 Queer 🧠 Neurodivergent Let's tell a story! That's the philosophy behind my approach to Dungeons & Dragons. I want to work with you and your companions at the table to craft a compelling narrative that you'll remember for long after we’ve put the dice away. I've been playing D&D for eight years. I've been a DM for two, but boy, do I regret picking it up so late. This is the most fun I've ever had playing a game. I want to share that joy with you. Whether it's your first game of D&D or whether you're a grizzled veteran, what we all want is that sense of adventure and accomplishment we felt when first rolling dice or reading that first fantasy novel. My games are highly narrative-driven and reward those who invest in their character and the world we build together. We don't just sling dice here. We discover how your character fits into the world. If that sounds good to you, I invite you to come and sit at my table. There's always room for one more!

Creating your character
Characters will start at level 1. Players will have access to character creation options from the 2024 Player's Handbook, as well as the supplement Heroes of Faerun. I will provide access to shared content on D&D Beyond. Players are free to create their character on their own. I will also be available to guide players in creating their characters.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players should create an account on Owlbear Rodeo, which is the virtual tabletop (https://www.owlbear.rodeo/). Players should create an account on Discord, which is the voice and video chat software we will use to run games. Players should create an account on D&D Beyond, where we will create our characters (https://www.dndbeyond.com/en).
What Dylan brings to the table
The game will be run using 2024 Rules As Written, with some exceptions. Rule of Cool will apply in exceptional circumstances only. I use Dungeon Turns to manage out of combat portions of the game. An introduction will be given during session zero. My games are roleplay-heavy, and I use various voices to breathe life into NPCs. However, players are not expected to do the same. My games are a balanced mixture of exploration, roleplaying, and combat.
Homebrew rules
Homebrew rules are minor and will be discussed during session zero, including any modifications players might suggest.

How Dylan creates a safe table
I will maintain a Lines and Veils form for all players to fill out prior to the start of the session. During the session, players have the right to ask to pause for any reason and raise any concerns, whether publicly or with me privately. After and in between sessions, the group will debrief and take up any concerns.
