About the adventure
Abomination Vaults: That name is not ominous at all, right? Hideous monsters, deadly traps, vengeful ghosts, and more await the heroes who dare to enter the sprawling megadungeon called the Abomination Vaults! The "heroes" will be you, of course. But this is not your simple dungeon delve. You see, the horrors trapped in the Abomination Vaults developed some measure of ecosystem, in time. While many monsters beneath the citadel died, others have prospered, and now several communities of morlocks, urdefhans, ghouls, and even stranger creatures call the dungeons home. Only the longest-lived remember any life other than the dungeons. Several devils serve as overseers and administrators, and many of these still maintain order. And that's the NICEST part of the Vaults. Apart from the regions maintained by these devils and a drow outpost in one of the lowest levels, the Abomination Vaults are lawless and dangerous. Still haven't managed to turn you off this terrible, dangerous dungeoneering idea? Well... then you might just make it, down there. Join this campaign! It's nicely written, fun, and full or "interesting" things. You saw the quotes there, right? Good :) I have remade most maps in Dungeon Alchemist so they are very pretty and I will connect your character's backstory to the overarching narrative of the Vaults, because I love doing that. I always foster an inclusive, chill environment for playing. This is not a competition :) Session 0 is FREE, of course I am already running this on another group and it's coming up nicely. People barely die down there ;)

About me
Hey :) My name is Frollo, and I love being a GM. See, the thing is, I love stories. And I love Tabe-Top Role-Playing Games because YOU get to tell AND live the craziest stories. To me, TTRPGs are a celebration of creativity and fun. The best stories come from their characters, and that's YOU in a Role-Playing Game! EVERYONE at my table gets to express themselves, and dream up crazy new identities to play with. I have a chill, relaxed GMing style, story-driven and focused on collaborative fun. The occasional, despicable PUN might also be spotted here and there, in all its cringe-worthy glory. And you are welcome to sit at my table. Beginner, first-timer, veteran, LGBTQ+, introvert and extrovert. It's a safe space for everyone. I promise we will have fun and tell a fantastic story, with you as one of the protagonists. I always customize and remaster the campaigns I run. I'm a big fan of mixing up your character's backstories in the campaign story, so players' choices are meaningful and their characters are part of what's going on. It will not be just another out-of-the-box Curse of Strahd. I am also very fond of redrawing and remaking maps in Dungeon Alchemist, so most maps will be custom made, with lights, colors, and 3d perspective. I have a Discord Server with channels for each group, and to track NPCs, places and all the things. We use it to chat and do downtime stuff as well, of course. Like haikus to commemorate the deceased... And lastly, I add some atmosphere to my sessions using ambience and encounter music. I might probably be the Worst case of "Forever DM" you've ever seen. I am from Italy, where I live, and I started playing TTRPGs a (very) long time ago, with a group of friends based around a our local game store - one of us actually worked in there. I might have played most RPGs ever published, once or twice. Or at least read them. I love D&D 5E because it reached a great balance of fun, versatility and rules. It is also a very welcoming system for beginners. But in cases of emergency, I can "break the glass" and GM Vampire, Cthulhu, Cyberpunk and Pathfinder like there's no tomorrow.
