Additional Details

How to prepare

- Make a free roll20 account (link for game will be sent prior to session) - Make a free Discord account ( link for server will be sent prior to session, game info will be posted there) - Microphone required (always a good idea to test the connection through the settings in discord prior to the game, we will use push to talk to avoid talking over one another in game and eliminate possible background noise) -A solid internet connection (will make your gaming experience more enjoyable) - A webcam is suggested but not a requirement. ( sometimes its hard to read the room as a GM if we cant see facial expression cues, but some people don't like to be on camera and that's totally fine.)

What I provide

I own the module on my Pro Roll20 account, it comes with beautifully illustrated color maps, tokens, dynamic lighting, handouts and more! (We will use in game assets for rolling dice using the 5e charactermancer) Supplemental content I also provide through Roll 20 compendium sharing: - Players handbook - Monster Manual - Mordekainen's Tome of Foes - Tome of Beasts (kobold press) - Volo's Guide to Monsters - Xanathars Guide to Everything - Tasha's Cauldron of Everything - Eberron- Rising From The Last War - Explorers Guide To Wildemount - Lost Mine of Phandelver - Tomb of Annihilation -Call of The Netherdeep - Dungeon tiles, tactical maps (Reincarnated) as well as many Gabriel Pickard quick encounter and town/city/hamlet maps, interactive maps - Spell templates, animated spell templates, animated weather effects, Asset packs for dungeon dressings. - Tokens galore for varied character and monster art. - Cze and Peku map collection (Used mostly in my home brew campaign, they are truly stunning maps) - Tom Cartos map collection ( varied and endlessly useful maps, also mostly used in homebrew) -Gabriel pickard maps (many varied maps of the wilds and towns, great for random encounters)

Gameplay details

This module is a reimagining of the classic hex crawl of the old school D&D. Typical gameplay is Surviving the jungle without losing your way whilst stumbling into challenging terrain, unique encounters and ancient ruins rife with puzzles and deadly traps. The overarching plot is a race against time to stop the soulmonger and save those who are afflicted amidst traversing wonderous ruins and relics that hold vast riches and mortal pitfalls. Its up to you, do you race to find the lost city or turn over every rock along the way? (I have adjusted the timeclock from the written adventure as well as other elements to be more suitable for long term play.) (Some content in this campaign may be uncomfortable for some players, but are highly negotiable. The most important thing for me at my table is that the players have fun and get to cooperatively build a story together that they will remember fondly. Still I feel its good to list some content aspects upfront so a session 0 will when we discuss lines and veils etc. Please don't ever hesitate to send me a private message, a whisper in chat etc. or speak with me in private before or after the game if you would like to keep things discretionary) We will use lines and veils to establish boundaries in session 0 Stars and wishes will be done occasionally to help me better steer toward your personal likes and dislikes as players! Tomb has strong themes like horror, death and fighting for survival. Also you should not expect plot armor as most people who have ever played tomb can tell you, it is rare to not lose at least one character, if not many, on the way to defeating the soulmonger. Rated: M for mature - A note on play style I typically voice NPC's and love to roleplay, no matter what I will be doing my best at that because its what I enjoy. I prefer if you do too, but if you just want to smash monsters with a sword, grab loot and take a narrator stance when talking about your character I'm cool with that too. My expectations for players is to treat everyone including myself with the same respect they are given and to maintain general decorum and immersion at the virtual "table".

How will character creation work

Characters will be created at lvl 1 in a "session 0" on roll 20 VTT using discord for voice & video. - Session 0 will be used to establish a cohesive group, backstory, character ties etc. If you join after session 0 no worries! All of the information covered is available in the #table-rules section of my discord and I will do my best to get you set up before the game, but please follow the "Prep Materials" under your "My Adventures" tab on the Startplaying.games website. - The listing will stay up to date with the current level and party composition. So you can build the character and level to match the current party power level (details for items gold etc. at higher levels available in my private discord server) - Players will have access to my roll20 shared compendium (which is most of the published books and several 3rd party publications). - You may also use D&D Beyond and link to roll20 using the beyond 20 browser extension (in this case you will be limited to the content you own on D&D Beyond as far as what will be available to your character sheet) We will create 2 characters for each player with one as a backup and each character will start with an additional feat at 1st lvl!
