💀 Vecna Eve of Ruin - REWRITTEN 💀 New content within!

Creating your character

⚔️ Characters start at Level 10 with 5,000 Gold, a Rare magic item, three Uncommon, and two Common. Gold can be spent on healing potions, non-magical equipment, and spell components. 🔥 You can roll for stats on my Discord server, use point buy, or use the standard array. ✨ All DnDBeyond content, including partnered content, is accepted for species, classes, subclasses, items, spells, etc. Have fun with the wide library of content I have made available! 💎 Create a character who calls part of the multiverse home. You can have your character be part of Faerûn (Forgotten Realms, such as the Shadowfell or Underdark), Ravenloft, Eberron, Dragonlance, Spelljammer, or Greyhawk! I’m happy to help you work on a backstory tying your character into the campaign too. This campaign offers a lot of opportunity to explore personal character stories, especially those from other settings.

Preparing for the session

We’ll be using: 🎲 FoundryVTT ✨ Discord 💎 DnDBeyond for character creation and leveling

What Cy brings to the table

Players have mentioned the following about my games: ✨ Visuals. I use Foundry and put a lot of effort into making maps and tokens for encounters, so you can easily visualize what’s going on. Scenes have ambient music and oftentimes animated effects. I enjoy that video game-esque feel with my setup. 🎭 Roleplay opportunities. Players love that we get small downtime moments during the session where they can interact with each other and NPCs. Long rests are the perfect time for this. If players are roleplaying with each other without me having to speak, I see that as a huge star! 🪎 Fair shares of loot. I carefully follow the DMG loot tables to make sure each enemy drops an appropriate amount of loot, and I aim to use the hoard table at least once per session. 💸 Shops. Players like that I design automated shops where they can spend their gold, with a buy and sell interface for buying new items and selling loot they’ve earned. ⚔️ At least one combat per session, where tactical thinking is often rewarded. I like setting up some combat encounters where players’ builds get to shine (the “they’re in fireball formation!” encounter, shooting your monks, etc.). Other encounters reward strategy and offer unique challenges. I don’t begrudge skilled and tactical players or spellcasters; system mastery is very welcome, so feel free to use Chef Mike, throw out Spiked Growth and forced movement shenanigans, etc. 📚 Lore focus. I really love the lore of these worlds and will rewrite scenes or chapters to better fit the lore (like virtually everything in Vecna: Eve of Ruin, lol). This is invisible if you’re not familiar with the lore, but noticeable if you are! 💎 Custom magic items. I really enjoy making and designing items that grow with the players, which complement their play style, goals, and skill sets. 🎲 Huge library of materials. I have a ton of sourcebooks on DnDBeyond to build with, virtually all the official material and a whole bunch of favorite 3rd party material too. I love seeing folks come up with unique interactions between the 3rd party materials. 🎯 I like the Rules as Written and tend to stick to them. They are our scaffolding for how we interact with the game world and provide us structure for what we can do in the course of the game.

Homebrew rules

✨ Drink a potion as an action for full healing effect ⚔️ Critical hits deal max damage on the first roll, then roll your extra damage as usual 🗡️ Flanking gives advantage on melee attacks 🔥 Deathbringer dice — when you roll a nat20, you earn the party a d6 that can be rolled and added onto any player d20 test for that session (attack rolls, saving throws, etc). It’s a party resource the party can use at their discretion! 🎭 Write a session recap in your character’s POV and earn an inspiration you can use for the next session. Great for roleplayers.

How Cy creates a safe table

During Session 0, we’ll discuss Lines and Veils we want for the content featured in the game and set boundaries according to our preferences and needs. These boundaries will be available on the discord channel so they can be referenced later. As always, if you find your boundaries change, you can always change your answers by sending me a private message.
