Vecna - Risen God-Tyrant

About the adventure

His name is whispered in the dark, the deathbed confession that topes an empire, the lost spell fragment that can shackle the mortal races forever. As the god of destructive and evil secrets, he waits in hidden places, unearthing dark knowledge and horrible, long - buried things to further his goals of taking the world for his own. From there all worlds and planes of existence. A thousand years ago he ruled in Oerth wishing to conquer all. Betrayed by his lieutenant he was destroyed. Or was he? ---- Players will begin at level 1, participate in 2 prelude sessions to create the back story for the adventure.

How will character creation work

For new players, I will schedule an individual Session 0 to assist with character creation. We will discuss character options and creation at Session 0. Character Creation Sources: DND - Players Handbook, Tasha’s, Xanathar’s, Drizzt's Travelogue, and open to outside supplements including- Kobold Press' Deep Magic & Codex of the Mind, Codex: Unearthed Arcana. Players may have their characters beforehand or prep them in an individual or group Session 0. Home Brew rules – May be used. These include: *-Bonus Action: Potion use not in a backpack *-Spell casting modification (spell slots vs memorization) Will be further explained at character creation. I also use Alchemical / Herbalist supplements (Pru's Potions & Poisons, Tome of Alchemy, Forgotten Realms Ed Greenwood Presents Elminster's Forgotten Realms) to enhance this underutilized part of Fantasy TTRPGs. When the new Vecna book releases in May, we can adjust characters accordingly to those options.
