Return to Phandalin - Faerun Descended

About the adventure

It’s been a year since Tiamat has been freed from her prison in Avernus, tearing a rift between the Abyss and Nine Hells spilling out into the Material plane. She ascended to higher planes to wage war with the gods, but not before ravaging Faerun in her wake. Darkness falls over the land as devils, demons, and other creatures of the night roam freely; while dragons plunder the countryside unconstrained. People flock to the cities for sanctuary, the last bastions of humanity where relative safety can be found. Faith in the gods has been wavering as cries for salvation have been met in silence. However there may still be hope, should some heroes still remain willing to fight back and reclaim this world. Welcome to Faerun Descended. This campaign is a revamped version of two Sword Coast adventures centered around the town of Phandalin: The Lost Mines of Phandelver and Dragon of Ice Spire Peak filled with homebrew content with experienced 5e players in mind. New monsters, magic items, and mechanics bring new life to these adventures so you’ll have a totally new experience, even if you’ll played them before. Players will have access to additional races, spells, feats, and the option to play gestalt classes. Session 0 will take place before to the start of the adventure where we'll go over homebrew rules, table etiquette, and safety tools. I look forward to playing with you!

Additional Details

How to prepare

Players will need Roll20 for battlemaps, D&DBeyond and Beyond20(plugin), Discord. A mic/headset are recommended. Characters should be ready to play for the session (except session 0). This includes character art for a token (one will be provided if you have none). If you have physical dice, you may use them if you prefer.

What I provide

I'll bring the maps, the monsters, a treasure chest that's definitely not a mimic, and hopefully a memorable experience. Oh and so many bad puns. (I apologize in advance)

Gameplay details

Safety tools will get gone over Session 0 and a consent checklist will be sent to players prior to them playing. XNO cards can be used at any time during the session. We will have breaks as well. If you have any concerns, please feel free to reach out to me.

How will character creation work

Players will have access to my character creation content on D&DBeyond. They can be created beforehand or during session 0. I am available to work with you if needed to help create your character. I do have some homebrew options available as well. Characters sheets can be made on D&DBeyond or on Roll20 if using a gestalt character
