Elemental Evil Wednesdays - D&D 5e

Dungeons & Dragons 5e on Discord, Foundry VTT

About the adventure

Called by the Elder Elemental Eye to serve, four corrupt prophets have risen from the depths of anonymity to claim mighty weapons with direct links to the power of the elemental princes. Each of these prophets has assembled a cadre of cultists and creatures to serve them in the construction of four elemental temples of lethal design. It is up to adventurers from heroic factions such as the Emerald Enclave and the Order of the Gauntlet to discover where the true power of each prophet lay, and dismantle it before it comes boiling up to obliterate the Realms. Join me, your fair and humble Dungeon Master, as we undertake a journey that only the most cunning will survive! Note: this adventure is based on the Wizards of the Coast published campaign Princes of the Apocalypse. Although the basic premise, NPCs, villains, locations and dungeons remain largely unchanged, I've heavily homebrewed some aspects of the adventure to more closely align with my taste and to allow for further adventures beyond level 12.

Additional Details

How to prepare

A mic, headphones and decent internet connection are required. Players are required to create free accounts for D&D Beyond, Discord and The Forge (our Foundry server host) if they don't have one already.

What I provide

Elemental Evil is played using Foundry Virtual Tabletop. We use Discord for voice/text chat. I provide a crash course for both platforms so that everyone is comfortable using them. We also use Syrinscape Fantasy Player for mood and music and we also have the option to stream/record our games privately via Youtube for family and friends.

Gameplay details

Legendary tales, immersive roleplay and the thrill of savage combat. Humor and heroics? Dire dungeon crawls in the dark? We can have it all, but I tend to focus on player preference and will always strive to tailor games to your liking. Beginners are welcome. The best way to learn D&D is to start playing! This adventure contains a roughly even split between combat, exploration and roleplay. Combat in Foundry VTT will be mostly of the tactical variety (using tokens and maps), so you'll be able to carefully plan your next move. Some situations may call for combat using theater-of-the-mind, however. If you're new to the game, no worries. After a couple of battles you'll get the hang of it. You will have detailed adventure hooks tied to your character's backstory. These "hooks" will will help immerse you in the game-world and will also allow you the opportunity to earn bonus Inspiration and experience points during play. This game is for mature audiences. Please be kindly and patient with other players. I have zero tolerance for any kind of bias or bad behavior at my table. Safety tools and guidelines are offered and enforced.

How will character creation work

Once you're confirmed to play I'll invite you to our Discord channel, introduce you to the other players, and help you get set up for the game in Foundry. Characters will begin at level 5, or higher, depending on how far into the campaign we are. We use D&D Beyond for character creation. All sourcebook material published to date is available. In other words -- all races, character classes, subclasses and spells will be available to players. Multiclassing is allowed, with DM discretion in some cases.
