About the adventure
Once a functional fortress where wizards honed their eldritch craft, little now remains of the Scarlet Citadel—on the surface. The place now has a sinister and deadly reputation among adventurers and lorekeepers, and for good reason. The dungeon’s well-trod stairs have seen few return from their journeys below. Here, deep underground, dwarven mercenaries once bred their owlbears for war, sorcerers from the White Forest practiced their arts, and strange cults from other realms drew from mysterious nodes of power. Ancient treasures and secrets are still scattered everywhere. Malevolent creatures spin shadowy webs, enchant foul magics, and summon forth dark gods.

About me
I found my first Players Handbook under the Xmas tree long before they started numbering the various editions of any of these games, and have been playing ever since. I started DMing regularly for family and friends ten years ago, and soon branched out to offering games online, first as a side hustle and then as a full-time occupation. I like to explore every pillar of game play and have a particular liking for mysteries and puzzles, but I certainly know when it's time to roll dice and crunch monsters as well.
View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
Character creation and any game-related communication and preparation conducted in Discord game channel in days leading up to first game session to afford plenty of opportunity for preparation before play commences in first game session.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Character should be ready for first session of game. Webcam optional (DM often uses one, but it is not required for players). Game audio and other game related communication takes place via Discord.
What Craig brings to the table
Games will take place on Roll20 VTT with maps, all relevant resources available in game compendium, dynamic lighting and occasionally music. GM available for assistance with character creation.
Homebrew rules
Narrative sense overrides RAW. For instance, getting a flask out of your pack, uncorking the bottle, and drinking the entire contents cannot be a bonus action-- taking your healing potions will always be a full action. Stuff like that.
