About the adventure
When the moon vanishes from the sky, Selûne’s clergy are certain her sister Shar, goddess of night and secrets, has abducted and imprisoned her. You must venture past the Astral Sea, breach Shar’s Towers of Night, and rescue the goddess of the moon from captivity! This adventure will test not only the strength of your arm, but also that of your will and wits! Do you dare cross into the darkest of nights? 🌑🌑🌑 Uncaged: Goddesses is an Ennie-award winning anthology of Tier 4 adventures where each chapter focuses on an evil or neutral-aligned goddess from the Forgotten Realms pantheon. (With a few from other worlds as well!) Though some of these deities have featured in other publications, Uncaged: Goddesses delves deep into their histories, goals, dreams, and other conflicts.

About me
I've been playing D&D 5e for about 9 years now! Professionally, I am a content editor for some mobile apps and games, and I organize and do social media / marketing for D&D Adventurers League events as well. DM-ing gives me a lot of creative freedom to tell stories, and that's my priority when it comes to the games that I run. I am also a Gold ENnie-award winning adventure writer! My focus is usually on character development and character-driven narratives. I like stories that have dramatic revelations and can show much a character can change from the beginning to the end, and I love delving deep and helping players develop their characters' stories from their origins to their endgame. When I run hardcover adventures, I usually tweak the story to better fit the characters playing. I also add little touches to one-shots so players can be more invested in the story, even if it's just for a session! I also like including lore for those who are interested in the particular setting of the game. If you're looking to hire me to run something, I can craft a specific sort of adventure for you! Just let me know what setting you're interested in and what kind of adventure you're looking for! You can also pick the starting level and the kind of narrative you're after. One thing to note is that I absolutely love epic level games. Games for tier 3 and tier 4 are few and far between, but I'm not afraid to take a campaign to those levels and beyond. This doesn't mean that I dislike lower and starting levels, but if you're looking for epic level games, then please consider adventuring with me! You can also find me running games for Baldman Games' Virtual D&D WeekendS!

What to expect
Preparing for the session
Audio will be done over Discord in my private server, no cameras required. There will be a specific category and channels for this campaign. Rolling and playing will be done over Roll20. (Please message me with your Discord usernames so I can send you the invite link to the server.)
What Marik the Dragon Queen brings to the table
I use a lot of art and online maps as visual representation on Roll20, and music to set a very immersive experience on discord. I always best to give the players a well-rounded experience of colorful RP, interesting puzzles, and stimulating combat! I will also be using and providing various 3rd party sources for character creation beyond PHB and official sources. I have most of the official sourcebooks in my Roll20 compendium.
Homebrew rules
I personally prefer 2014, but I generally advocate for using the version that's most beneficial to the players. (Feats, spells, etc.) And if someone wants their character to use the 2014 version of a class rather than the 2024 version (or vice versa), that's okay, too! Flanking is allowed.
