About the adventure

Every traveler needs to make a bit of coin along the way... What better way than to participate in free-for-all arena match for money and fame? The Devlyn Arena is a popular coliseum dedicated entirely to providing the audience with wild and entertaining battles. All manner of combatants are welcome, from barbarians to bards, warlocks to wizards, and everyone else. Though the champions might find themselves in the arena for glory or gold, the fans come for one reason alone: blood.

Additional Details

How to prepare

- Roll20.net will be used for maps, so a Roll20.net account and a device able to run the site during the session are needed - A microphone for voice chat is needed for participation (no video camera necessary!) - You can use dice on Roll20, Discord (through the Avrae bot), or your own dice at home - Please send Dr. DM a copy of your character sheet before the game (Discord message is a fine medium for this, PDF are preferred to DNDBeyond links!) - Some knowledge of the rules of D&D 5e is helpful, but not required - the arena is a perfect place for new players to get the hang of D&D 5e combat! New players very welcome!

What I provide

Dr. DM will provide: - Epic, bloody combat descriptions - A hearty serving of silliness - Blank character sheets - Unique maps - Unique arena "games" and opponents

Gameplay details

This one-shot can take a variety of forms: Player vs. Player free-for-all, PC team vs. NPC team, Capture the Flag, Mirror Match, Everyone vs. a Dragon, and more! All PCs in a match will be the same level, the level for a particular session will be decided by the players signing up for the match (see details for Character Creation in the Prep Notes). Arrive with a character ready to play and we'll dive right into the fight!

How will character creation work

Character creation will happen outside of the game between the player and Dr. DM. Lots of possibilities for what you can play: - A retired character you've been missing - A new character you haven't gotten to play yet - Test out a character build you've been itching to try - Try out a new set of prepared spells or fighting style for your usual character - Build your wildest wackiest dream character Really, any combination of race, class, and background from the Player's Handbook or Tasha's Cauldron of Everything are 100% safe bets. Races, classes, and backgrounds outside of those books are probably okay but the concept should be run past Dr. DM before the match just in case.
