The greed of mortals has awakened a powerful entity long thought destroyed. For eons, this mighty champion of the gods has been imprisoned in the darkest depths of Exandria. His name has been forgotten, as have his heroic deeds. Languishing in despair, he calls out for new heroes to save him. About the game CotN is first and foremost a story-driven game. Choices have consequences, keeping veterans and noobs alike on their toes. And unlike most modules where you either win or lose, in CotN its entirely possible to win all fights and still have a bad ending. One warning though: there's more underwater fighting here than in most other adventures i've seen. About you You are a newly-formed band of adventurers, staying in the town of Jigow for a few days in-between jobs. Oddly, there are no quests here and the whole town seems ready for a celebration. You start at level 3. Consider reading my welcome document and this spoiler-free player's guide . About me I've been DMing Dungeons and Dragons for seven years, professionally for the last two with over twenty happy players. My approach to games is very sandboxy: i create the world, the players create the game. The players can't ruin my plans if i have absolutely no plans in the first place, it's a win-win! Even when designing shorter adventures i go through the extra planning to make sure players have more than one way of doing things. In my earlier days i did that to a fault, often leaving inexperienced players with no idea what to do. After a while i changed my method to the "infinite +3 alternatives" where the players are presented with clear options and plots, while still having the option to do whatever they want. Player reviews "Never have I imagined that character creation could be this deep and immersive." - Emajenus, a first-time player. "A quality DM" - Av777, customer. "5/7 DM" - KuriBro, player. "That was a great dungeon, loved how everything fit together and the unique encounters" - Gouresdo, after a quarantine module. "I'm in the first group of Yonapalur colonizers and have been playing with this guy for awhile. He is worth it! Puts a lot of work into his games, and whenever I feel like he could improve on something, I'll tell him so in his evaluations he puts up after each game and its fixed by the next time. In my experience, that willingness to correct is rare among gms! Recommend. :)" - CapnCrinklepants, my first paying player. "DM not only runs a fantastic adventure, written or homebrew, but also provides a fantastic community to talk about the game and encourages feedback to improve all the different games he runs. He puts in the prep and dedication that I expect from a paid session and it really shows and I am looking forward to jumping into the next campaign! " - Toxroxmysox "After 12 years of playing DnD I stumbled upon one of his games and I am now on my second campaign. He has been the best DM I had the pleasure to play with. Just be prepared to have every session challenge you as a player to the best of your ability." - Manuel "DM does a really excellent job with guiding the players along the path they choose for their adventure. He offers tons of options for paths or leads to follow and then builds the excellent story along the way with the players. Combat is fun and balanced, descriptions are thought-out and intriguing, and he offers a fun community of DnD players and I've found some friends for sure!" - Scott "I have been in two campaigns with Arthur DMing. So far he is great and I would recommend him wholeheartedly." - blinkmoth "A good GM who's well prepared and works with his players rather than against them!" - JStatz LGBT friendliness policy I don't care about your gender, biological sex, sexual orientation, political opinions, religion, or pretty much anything. You can tell by the fact I'll never ask you any of that. That means i will neither treat you worse for any of it, nor will i treat you any better. I've studied at a college where 90% of the males in my class were gay (literally 18/20), and a little over a year ago one of my best friends came out as trans. From my experience, not giving a shit is exactly the right thing. LGBT people just want to be treated as people, and that's what i do. If you're a good player, who gets along with the others and is respectful, that's honestly all that matters. Actually your nationality matters a little bit, but only insofar as it affects timezones.
