Princes of the Apocalypse - New Player Friendly - Sandbox/Exploration

About the adventure

Ageless, dark and hidden. An elemental evil stirs. It will scorch the world with wildfire, break the plates of continents , hurricanes will rage tearing the face of the landscape and tsunamis will devour what is left. That is, unless, YOU, the heroes, stop it first. This campaign will take you from levels 1 to 15 and so is absolutely beginner friendly. Set in a large sandbox area rich with ancient ruins, old secrets and dangerous creatures, magic items can be found easily for those with the skill and determination to do so. Bolster your armoury, gain your allies and weaken your foes, before delving into the darkness to strike at the heart of that which threatens to destroy everything. If you are looking for a campaign with a ton of opportunities to dive into roleplay and combat, as well as discover lots of interesting magic items, then jump in!

How will character creation work

In session 0, I will set out the campaign details for the party and we will go through initial character creation together. However we don't want to reveal everything about our characters, so I will work with each player individually the week before session 1 to finalise backstory details that you can choose to reveal as and when during the campaign. Character creation will happen on DNDBeyond. I will provide the following shared resources for people to use. Player's Handbook Princes of the Apocalypse SCAG XGTE EGTW TCOE VRGTR FTOD S:ACOC MOTM All of this content will appear for you to use when you join the campaign on D&D beyond, and can be used in character creation.
