About the adventure

One way or another, All of you find yourselves in a cage sitting on the floor of a giant's kitchen! Either you're tiny or everything in here is huge because the tables loom overhead and the faint footsteps of the giant himself somewhere else in the house rattle the floor under your feet! He seems to be making dinner. You'd better escape before you're turned into an ingredient in his stew! Help, We Shrunk the Party is a whimsical 5e campaign where all of the players are now pint-sized. You will traverse oversized environments, fight giant animals that used to only come up to your ankle, and work your way slowly but surely to your salvation: The window over the kitchen counter. Be quick or the giant might come back and notice you're gone!

Additional Details

How to prepare

Once you sign up, you will be given a link to the Roll20 and our discord. We will be using Roll20 for visuals as well as electronic versions of our character sheets that will be used during game (It makes rolling for you guys easier on both of us.) As for discord, please read the Rules and Regulations section before we begin playing. You will need a mic (Your computer mic is fine) to be able to join the discord calls where we will be talking to each other during the game. The discord is also used for introductions, memes, and art so feel free to have fun!

What I provide

I will be bringing maps, handouts, and other visuals through Roll20! Depending on the moment, there may also be music playing through discord.

Gameplay details

Open communication is important so we will be discussing triggers before the game begins, either in private with me or at the table itself (Whichever makes you more comfortable!). This is a fun and whimsical adventure that allows you to run around a giant's kitchen as teeny tiny people. You can collect tiny weapons and objects to help you in your adventures. Players can expect a dangerous and action packed combat as well as a rule of cool dominated gameplay experience where they can let their creative work! A session zero can be provided if the party would like one. Content warning: violence (tiny or otherwise), foul language, character death (but only if you do something really silly.)

How will character creation work

Characters will begin at level 5. You will be expected to fill out a character sheet on roll20 (Unless you have an extension on DnD Beyond that connects to Roll20 then you can fill the sheet out on DndBeyond) You do not have to decide on weapons or items for the game because you've been shrunk and your items will not be accessible to you. (Don't worry! Weapons and items will appear over the course of the game that work for your teen tiny bodies) A session zero can be provided if the party would like one! Otherwise, characters are expected to be done before the first game of the campaign. Any homebrewed races, classes, etc need to be approved at least 48 hours before our first game.

Players can expect

  • Combat/Tactics: Medium
  • Roleplay: Medium
  • Puzzles: Low
  • Experience Level: Open to all
