Candlekeep Mysteries

Dungeons & Dragons 5e on Discord, Foundry VTT

About the adventure

Hail, Friends of Candlekeep! This listing is for any adventurer who: - wants to learn the ropes of 5e - is looking for a casual rather than an epic game - is interested in Adventurer's League styled play Candlekeep Mysteries is a selection of shorter, self-contained adventures. Each adventure will last approximately 1-3 sessions at levels 1-16. The adventures are collaborative, with a plethora of puzzles and a few set-piece combats. You will be a Friend of Candlekeep, a trusted adventurer who can go out into the Sword Coast to complete quests set by the mages. As a player, you will be able to make a character that starts at level 1 and grows to level 16! Or, you can choose to play random adventures with a new character each time. Because there is no central overarching story, your character choice is flexible. Any items and gold that you earn in your adventure can be carried over to your next session. An adventure from Candlekeep would be great for those new to D&D and veterans alike. Games will be available through Foundry VTT and will use voice chat through Discord. Sessions will be offered at a variety of times, depending on what most players' availability looks like. Payment for each session is $10 per person. I will also be available to help with character creation before every session.
