Call from the Deep

Dungeons & Dragons 5e on Discord, Foundry VTT

About the adventure

Assault from the Astral! After crash-landing onto the Material Plane, a strange, otherworldly ship brings with it an unexpected wave of piracy, hideous creatures from the bottom of the Trackless Sea, and a notorious foe who has been awakened from the deep, intent on destroying the world as you know it. The adventurers must set sail along the Sword Coast, fending off the pirate attacks while putting together the fractured puzzle that will reveal the true villain. A Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition Campaign for characters from 1st - 12th level.

What I provide

I bring my experience and enthusiasm playing and running games, but more technically I will be providing everything needed for a complete experience, as well as a full compendium of 5th edition content available via my D&D:Beyond account.

Gameplay details

Whilst there is never truly a 'typical' session, I always do my best to ensure that sessions are as relaxed and as informal as I can - because I find this fosters a much kinder and easy-going environment - where people can be themselves and have some fun. This campaign will have a traditional fantasy style adventure set on the high seas - exploring lost shipwrecks, fighting off bands of pirates and discovering hidden treasures whilst trying to workout the real villains behind the scenes - however there will be a darker undertone as the plot progresses involving elements of Cosmic Horror and Body Horror, nothing will be too graphic or gratuitous and any such things will be discussed openly with players beforehand during a session 0. There will be a 10-15 minute break around the midway point of the session, around 2 hours into the 4 hour goal. I pride myself on providing a safe space for anyone at my table, and I try to make sure that I am available as a person and a friend to my players, not just a DM, and any behaviour, language or actions that makes other players feel unsafe, uncomfortable or unwelcome will not be tolerated, and players found to be in breach of this will be removed in the interest of others. If at any point any player is uncomfortable with any of the content or the experience of the game, they are free to make this known to myself and the rest of the group in any way that is comfortable for them without any fear of judgement, then as a group we would discuss this and how to proceed.

How will character creation work

Character creation will happen before game and will either use Standard Array or a Modified Point Buy, this will be all done using D&D:Beyond where you will have access to my entire library of published 5e material. I will be available regularly through Discord to answer any question or to offer assistance to those who might need a little more help.
