About the adventure

Everyone who went to opening night of the Monveau Theater's newest show has gone completely insane. Can the characters uncover the shocking secrets inside the theater and find a way to end the plague of madness without losing their own minds? The Horror Within is a cosmic horror adventure for 8th-level characters. It's a one-shot that takes about 3-5 hours to complete. A maddening mystery where the characters' very sanity is at risk

How to prepare

Players should come prepared with a great attitude and a willingness to be a part of the shared story telling process that is Dungeons and Dragons. A working microphone with minimal background noise A Discord account (free) A free D&D Beyond account (not needed but appreciated)

What I provide

A love for the game that has lasted forty years. An experienced DM who loves the story of his characters and looks forward to how the players run them in a campaign.

How will character creation work

Feel free to create your own 8th level character using official content only or a player may take one of six pre-generated characters already prepared for the game! Characters can be placed into the D&D Beyond campaign page which will be linked once you join Character creation rules: No homebrew or UA. Standard Array or you can "Roll 'em Old School" (roll 4d6 dropping the lowest die roll) for starting statistics. Characters will start the game with one uncommon magic item of their choice as well as one potion of healing.
