Ninjas and Super Spies

Startplaying.games link This campaign takes on average 9 sessions $15 per session - Full conversion from 3.5 to 5.5 done by me. --- Whilst Vlaakith consolidates power on Tu'Narath, a sect of Gith seek to overthrow her and end her undeath - they just need your help. --- Whether you favour peaceful talks or outright war, sometimes a knife in the dark is all that's needed. Remember: nothing unites the people quite like a politically motivated assassination. Overthrowing an immortal tyrant is hard from the inside, that's where you come in. Navigate Vlaakith's lair, find her phylactery and end her undeath! You may (or may not) have played Baldur's Gate 3, and you may (or may not) know who Vlaakith CLVII is. But you definitely don't know about the coup. Vlaakith has ruled the Githyanki for over a thousand years. A lich of legendary power, she maintains her reign through fear, hatred and an iron fist. Centuries of undeath have only deepened her paranoia. Her latest scheme is enough to draw concern from the Sha'sal Khou: The creation of Duthka'Gith, terrifying hybrids born from the fusion of Githyanki and dragon through foul magic. Enter the Sha'sal Khou, a clandestine movement of Githyanki and Githzerai seeking to reunite their people under a single leader and a common purpose. They believe Vlaakith must be stopped — permanently. They need your help killing Vlaakith. --- Character creation Creating your character Character creation can happen in many ways: 📋 During Session 0 we can build a character together whilst we talk. 🐉 If you have a DNDBeyond sheet we can import it into the system. 📝 If you have a paper sheet I will re-create the character for you. 💪 Characters will be level 15 - Point Buy or Standard Array. 📕 Species and Subclasses from these books are permitted: PHB, MPMM, FTD, TCE, XGE, GotG, BMT ⚡ Spells from all books (barring Strixhaven) are permitted What to expect Preparing for the session 💻 A laptop or computer with a resolution of 1366x768 or higher is recommended to ease of playing.* 🔊 Discord 🎙️ A microphone 🕴️ A character idea or concept 📒 (Optional) Something to take notes on 📹 (Optional) A webcam 📱Mobile will have issues using the VTT Software What Matthew (ItsScottish) brings to the table I will bring the server that the game will be hosted on firstly. The maps were from the book to fit perfectly whilst playing & the atmosphere has been set to build the story. 📹 Webcams are NOT necessary though I will have mine on during session 🔉 Voices are not required though I will use them myself. Homebrew rules Deus Ex Machina Death hurts us all, rage or sadness pick your poison. That being said, sometimes the war continues. As your friends grieve your loss - your God may reject your soul. - Every character gets 1 - If you die in a long drawn out battle and get fully expended, by same grace of God, you are brought back to fight a final fight. --- Safety How Matthew (ItsScottish) creates a safe table 📃 Before Session 0 I will send you a Monte Cook RPG Consent Checklist. In this I will tick the things I have OK'd in the game (Both Module and Player Content). ❌ During Session 0 I will go over my lines with you. I will let you know where I stand with things and what I have omitted from the module (if anything). We can also discuss your Consent Form incase similarities arise, an example being "You are not OK with Spiders but are you OK with Scorpions?". As well as that we can create your character (if you do not have one already) 🔁 In the time between S0 and S1 I will remove the tokens of specific creatures and alter the adventure as needed. 🚶During the session you are free to break off for your own reasons - let me know as you do and I will move you along with the party. 🗣️ At the end of all my games I oft sit and talk with my players for a bit. As soon as the game ends the line between DM and player dissolves and I like to make that obvious.

Short Story Long ago, the land was consumed by war. Cities fell, countless lives were lost, and fear spread as the Avatar, a malevolent force, unleashed demons and monsters across the realm. In time, a band of heroes from distant lands, joined by champions of the realm itself, rose to face the darkness. Through their courage and sacrifice, the Avatar was finally defeated, and peace was restored. Yet not all wounds healed so easily. During the war, one of the dwarven clans, driven by greed and manipulated by the Avatar’s influence, sided with the forces of darkness. Though the evil was defeated, the stain of that betrayal remained. Trust in the dwarves was broken, and many races and rival clans never truly forgave them. Now, in the city of Amber Trees, also known as Amber City, a new chapter begins. To rebuild their honor and restore faith in their people, the dwarves have founded an adventurers’ guild, offering brave souls the chance to take on dangerous missions, defend the realm, and shape its future. Our adventurers arrive in Amber City in search of glory, fortune, and purpose. By taking up the guild’s call, they will not only forge their own legends, but also help the dwarves reclaim the trust they lost and prove that redemption can be earned through courage, loyalty, and deeds. After some time the dwarven guilds regained some of their reputation back with the help of some powerful heroes. They are now sending caravans to the elven and human territories guarded by the new adventurers and you are one of them. ↠Amount of Players recommended for session: 3 or 4 players ↠Type of Campaign: Campaign with westmarch style+ Homebrew setting ↠Game System: 5e 2014 + UA with homebrew rules where we dont have any rules in the books ↠Game Style: more on Combat and less on Roleplay ↠Voice Chat: Required, we will use discord ↠Difficulty of Campaign: easy ↠Experience Level: - Any, everyone is welcome ↠Starting Level: Players will make lvl 1 characters with point buy and do one-shots westmarch style low lvl quests with other random players that are online at the same time as them until they form a stable party to go after the high lvl campaign quests. ↠General Overview of Campaign: After a big war that included many races one of them lost its trust .

Curse of Strahd — Enter Barovia The mists have found you. They do not intend to let you leave. A land trapped beneath an endless grey sky. Ancient forests hide things that should never have survived. Villages cling desperately to what little hope remains. And above it all watches a vampire who has ruled this valley for centuries. Count Strahd von Zarovich knows you are here. The question is whether you'll survive long enough to escape him. 🦇 What to Expect 🩸 A Story About Your Characters Your characters aren't just along for the ride. Your decisions, relationships, fears and ambitions will become part of the story. Barovia will react to what you do — and Strahd will take notice. 🏰 Gothic Horror & Dark Fantasy Expect haunted castles, cursed villages, ancient forests, terrifying creatures and people who have learned to survive in a world without hope. The campaign can be dark and unsettling, but we'll keep the table itself welcoming and enjoyable. 🎭 Roleplay & Character Development Barovia is filled with people who have their own problems, secrets and motivations. You'll have plenty of opportunities to interact with NPCs, make difficult choices and decide what your character is willing to sacrifice. ⚔️ Dangerous Combat Combat matters. Not every encounter is designed to be won by simply charging forward. Sometimes running away is the smartest choice. You'll face creatures that can genuinely threaten your party, and your decisions outside of combat can be just as important as your tactics during it. 🗺️ Exploration & Mystery Barovia isn't a linear dungeon. You'll have freedom to explore the valley, discover its secrets and decide which dangers you're willing to face. 🆕 New to D&D? That's completely fine. You don't need years of D&D experience to join. I'll explain the rules as we play, help you create your character and make sure you understand what's happening. The important thing is that you're ready to play a character and become part of the story. 🎲 Campaign Details System: Dungeons & Dragons 5e Campaign: Curse of Strahd Starting Level: 1 Players: 4–6 Session Length: 3 hours Frequency: Weekly Experience: Beginners & experienced players welcome We'll use Foundry VTT for maps and combat, with Discord for voice chat.
