About the adventure

A 9th-level adventure published for D&D 5e in Candlekeep Mysteries, "Kandlekeep Dekonstruktion" sees players racing to foil the plans of the Livestock Cult of Custodians and their howling mad leader, Stonky J. Noptopper (the "J" is for jenius!). With the countdown clock to blastoff ticking, it's up to a band of daring adventurers to prevent a wacky, out-of-this-world plot from coming to fruition! Expect a crazy game of insane antics and batty baddies with an explosive conclusion. This adventure happily throws serious gravitas out the window in favor of absurd fun; if you've ever wanted the perfect opportunity to play the silliest character you can think of, this is the place to do it!

Additional Details

How to prepare

Create a 9th level character using official 5e material. Make sure you have a Discord account with a reliable microphone and internet. Connect to the virtual tabletop via a Roll20 account and the link I send out. Note that we will only be using this site for visuals, not audio or character sheets. Please send me a portrait of your character ahead of the game so I can make a virtual token for your character. These pictures may be original or borrowed from the internet at your discretion.

What I provide

I provide access to a Roll20 virtual tabletop running detailed maps with dynamic lighting. I also create character tokens for each player.

Gameplay details

Expect a blend of roleplay, combat, and a crawl through a mini-dungeon. I encourage roleplay in my games, and this one definitely benefits from keeping players in character as much as possible! That said, roleplay is never a requirement, so balance third-person descriptions with first-person roleplay to your own level of comfort. This game will be run using a full map on Roll20 brought to life over a Discord voice channel.

How will character creation work

Characters will be level 9, created using official D&D 5e material. If they are able, players should come prepared with characters they have made ahead of time, preferably with a PDF of their character sheet or a link to a D&D Beyond sheet. If they are unsure how to make a character, players can reach out to me for assistance. I will also have pre-generated characters available to play. Stats may be determined using any of the three official systems (standard array, point buy, or rolling). If you choose to roll, please commit to your first set of rolls for your character. Honor system applies here! Note that homebrew, the lucky feat, and player species that can fly or are larger than medium size are banned. Most other official material is acceptable, though players can reach out ahead of time if they need anything approved. Players should send me character portraits ahead of time so I can make virtual tokens before the game starts.
