DM-Ethan's Advent of the Mother God

Dungeons & Dragons 5e on Discord, Theater of the Mind, Tableplop

About the adventure

This is a homebrew adventure taking us all the way from level 1 to level 12. At level 12, there's an option to continue all the way to 20 or start a new campaign. This game is in the Silver Marches area of the Forgotten Realms (https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Luruar/) and we're around the same time period as the most recent WotC published adventure paths. Sightings of strange beasts, storm clouds obscuring the sky, and tales of divine magic failing are some of the major rumors floating around. This is a bit of a sandbox to start, with lots of opportunity to roleplay with NPCs and your fellow party members. We'll have dungeons here and there, lots of small-scale, intense, tactical battles on battlemaps, and some theater of the mind non-combat encounters. The main drives this campaign is suited for are: * narrative-focused * challenging but fair combat * freedom of expression * lose yourself in a fantasy world

How to prepare

What I provide

When you game with me, you can expect believable NPCs with their own goals, voice, ideals, and (sometimes) issues. Your success and failures will be based on YOUR choices. You can expect a compelling, typically time-sensitive, overarching narrative that will be revealed piece by piece as you advance in levels and uncover more and more secrets. But you will have to balance that with a littering of side-quests, red-herrings, optional dungeons, character arcs, and legendary treasures/locations. You’ll have voiced NPCs, background music for added immersion (or you can mute it), hand-drawn maps, fantastical locations, universe-moving plots, and a healthy dose of challenging, dynamic combat.

Gameplay details

- homebrew, high stakes adventures - homebrew monsters & NPCs - Living world that responds to the players actions - Tie in character backstories whenever able/requested - Challenging, dynamic combat (run up and swing for 3 rounds? You won’t find that here) - GOOD and/or RELUCTANT heroes - I really cheer for the PC’s successes, not so much when they’re evil murderers - Level 1 to probably around 12-15, then we can look at either continuing high-level, or starting fresh - Very knowledgeable of 5e rules (by heart), happy to teach, and I tend to err on the side of the players
