Description

Start spooky season early with a mystery and a dungeon crawl for Level Two Adventurers! You and your friends get sucked into a video game and find yourselves in the bodies of your avatars. You can't log off. You don't know what happens if you die. Your only hope is to win the game.
  • Explore a dungeon in a virtual world.
  • Fight any monsters that get in your way.
  • Escape with your lives.
For fans of Dungeon Crawler Carl, Jumanji, or Sword Art Online, this one-shot turns a classic gothic horror D&D adventure into an isekai/portal fantasy.  Create your D&D character at Level Two as normal, except for your personality traits, ideals, bonds, flaws, and backstory. For those pieces, imagine an Earth-human who would create this D&D character as an avatar in an online RPG. Use the 27-Point-Buy method for your stats. You may use the following 5th Edition resources for character creation:
  • Player's Handbook
  • Volo's Guide to Monsters
  • Tasha's Cauldron of Everything
  • Xanathar's Guide to Everything
  • Mythic Odysseys of Theros
  • Van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft

TTRPGs are an excellent storytelling tool, and they've been one of my special interests for many years. I like cinematic action, integrating character backstories into the campaign, and deep worldbuilding with potential for mysteries and plot twists.

Just a chill game ran in a wing it style. I like structure but mostly just come up with things on the fly

The mists hide a world plundged into darkness for centuries. A dark lord has control of this cursed land. Those who are strong can escape the mists. Hello all, I am Michael.  I am starting a new campaign playing within the world of Ravenloft. This a gothic horror story that is traumatic and a fun time. This is a roleplay heavy campaign with intense combat encounters and plenty of chances for exploration. This is my third time running the campaign and I am excited to see what a new group of adventurers will make of this land.  This is good campaign to start your D&D journey as it starts at low levels and you learn as we play. So if you enjoy a fun and scary time at the virtual table then this is the game for you. Gothic Horror, High Fantasy, and Eldritch Horrors Level 1-10, with possibilities of higher levels depending on the game Go from ragtag adventurers. Unravel villain motivations, fend off living and undead threats that haunt the land, and confront one of the most famous villains. Strahd Von Zarovich. This campaign uses the best of the plot lines of Curse of Strahd: Reloded rounded out with additional materials, and characters backstories. To join this campaign, or if you're looking for other long-term adventures for D&D 5e campaigns to have a good time in.

[DnD 5e][Denton, TX] - DM looking for players for a Homebrew 5e campaign Hey there! I moved to Denton a couple months ago and I'm looking to get a small group together to hang out weekly, play D&D, grab drinks, or play boardgames together. Here's the plan: * **System:** D&D 5e * **Format:** We'll kick off with a short one-shot to get a feel for the group, then move into an ongoing homebrew campaign * **Schedule:** Fridays (starting this week) @ 6pm, Denton, TX biweekly campaign sessions, alternating with biweekly hangout nights (board games, drinks, whatever) so Fridays stay a standing thing either way * **Who:** Guys & gals welcome, never played before? Even better. I'm a newer DM myself, so no pressure to know the rules going in. Just looking to find some post-grad peeps who can commit to a weekly hangout. If that sounds like your kind of Friday, hit me up on here and/or Discord: Chashu293
