Critical Role: Call of the Netherdeep

About the adventure

Both sides imbued their mortal champions with supernatural powers, allowing them to challenge their divine foes.

Additional Details

How to prepare

You will need a D&D Beyond account, Syrinscape account, and a Discord Account. A decent mic, headset and computer are also required. Other than that there is nothing players need to bring with them to session besides a good attitude and wanderlust.

What I provide

I bring to the table the complete collection on D&D Beyond which gives the players in my campaigns access to all of that content. Foundry VTT a powerful software with dynamic lighting and special effects capabilities.

Gameplay details

A typical session will be everyone logging into D&D Beyond, then joining discord, and joining the Foundry VTT link. After everyone is situated and ready to go then we will jump right into the game. Exploring and role-playing will be large portions of the game as well as combat. This is a game for people who like gritty realism combined with high fantasy, an accurate comparison would be the Witcher series. I like to play my games with a healthy mix of role-playing and combat. There is also a good amount of serious and silly content. You can expect the game to be fully fleshed out, everywhere you go there will be a map or animated artwork to show you what your surroundings look like accompanied by a narrative explanation. I pride myself on my voice acting skills and will do my best to breathe life into every NPC. What I can’t do with my voice I supplement with voice mods. Character death is a serious possibility, especially at early levels. This is because I do not pull punches and let the dice fall where they may. I feel the world seems much more alive and realistic when you are bumping into things that are both easy to take care of and nearly impossible to manage. Knowing when to run is one of the greatest skills an adventurer must possess. I want to get your adrenaline pumping in dangerous situations and make it feel as real as possible. I require everyone to be on time and ready for the session and expect them to stay for the entirety unless an emergency arises. I expect people to stay in character as much as possible and I do not tolerate metagaming. I run a mature game and any topic may come up at the table in game, if there are any specific lines you would like to avoid crossing please feel free to message me and I will make a note of it. You can expect to have a 10-minute break around mid-session for grabbing snacks, drinks, and bio breaks. House Rules 💧 Potions It is a bonus action to swig a potion 💧 Flanking Flanking confers a +2 bonus to attack rolls instead of advantage 💧 Critical Hits Critical hits cause the damage on the dice to be doubled instead of rolling extra dice 💧 Critical failures and Critical Successes If a roll results in a natural 1, it is considered a failure. On the other hand, if the roll is a natural 20, it is always a success and may also have additional benefits, which are determined by me. 💧 Death Saves Death saving throws are done privately 💧 Stealth Outside Combat Players make (Dexterity) Stealth rolls only when someone is in a position to see them or look for them. 💧 Investigation Checks For Traps When searching for traps, the person checking will roll a check once and continue to use that result until a trap is found in order to avoid constantly rolling. 💧 Vicious Mockery or Tasha’s Hideous Laughter If you use vicious mockery or Tasha’s hideous laughter and your joke/insult makes me laugh, the target gets no saving throw.

How will character creation work

Characters will be created before the first session. I run a session 0 sort of interview after you apply to answer any questions and make sure everyone is comfortable and has their character ready. Backstories should be written before session 1 as well.
