In
the city of Waterdeep rests a tavern called the Yawning Portal, named
after the gaping pit in its common room. At the bottom of this crumbling
shaft is a labyrinthine dungeon shunned by all but the most daring
adventurers. Known as Undermountain, this dungeon is the domain of the
mad wizard Halaster Blackcloak. Long has the Mad Mage dwelt in these
forlorn depths, seeding his lair with monsters, traps, and mysteries—to
what end is a constant source of speculation and concern. You
received a letter from a certain self-called adventurers-agent by the
name of Sir Trehlas of the deep, he talked about how he was impressed by
your deeds and would like to sponsor you in an expedition to
Undermountain for the sake of adventure and discovery, and of course
wealth and power for those who come out from Undermountain make great
names for themselves in the world and can shape their surrounding with
the status they will gain and control how their lives will continue. he
even sent bags of coin saying those are just the beginning of what will
be a very ludicrous partnership. in the end of his letter he asked you
to join him in Waterdeep, specifically in his country home near the city
where he will introduce you to your future companions and give you your
first assignment to see if you will be great explorers of the dangerous
depths About The Game In
case you are unfamiliar with the lore of Undermountain this campaign
will be a massive mega dungeon crawl that will explore the entirety of
the mad mage's complex home, there will many exotic and weird locations,
creatures, treasures and encounters to be had not all of them dangerous
but most of them will be, all three pillars of DnD will take play in
this module for every level in Undermountain has its own unique identity
and feel, but of course combat will have a lot of time in the spotlight
as is the nature of the dungeoncrawl so be prepared for that. that does
not mean you cannot turn hostile situation to your favor using guile
and wits, as long as the other party is willing to negotiate of course.
sessions will take from 3 to 4 hours with them usually ending when there
is a good spot to stop once we go beyond the 3 hour mark. All
experience levels are welcomed, if you are new to either D&D 5e,
Roll20, or RPG's in general I will do my best to teach you the ropes and
you don't have to worry about not knowing things, we all been there, as
long as you have the want to learn I am sure we can get you on your
feet by session 1. however do keep in mind that this game starts at 5th
level so you will have quite a bit of abilities to keep track off so if
you are very new you will need to do a bit more homework then usual. I'm
quite knowledgeable in the rules of 5e and can provide smooth sessions
without having to flip through the rulebook all the time. Constructive criticism is always welcomed after sessions, I strive to make the best
experience for my players but I will need your help to do so. Jokes and
swearing are totally fine however racism, sexism, bigotry, and any other
nefarious behaviors towards other players are not allowed at my table,
respect all around goes places in keeping the group together and
maximizing fun. And finally, this game does have adult themes as
Undermountain has many terrible and gruesome acts committed in it so
keep that in mind. Character Creation Dungeon of the Mad Mage is a 5-20 level module, so we will be starting at level 5 with a quite a bit of gold to equip your characters properly for the descent into the dungeon. I allow all official Wizard of the Coasts books to be used when making your character as long as it makes sense within the setting and as thus certain races might be disallowed if i think they would not fit the dungeon, in addition to that the only subclass that is banned is Gloomstalker Ranger for balance reasons, any Unearthed Arcana or homebrew must be approved by me beforehand. We will be using a more buffed standard array for stats generation that goes like this: 16,15,14,12,10,08. Characters will be made during session 0, I recommend you have a base idea in your head if you want but try and not build too much on it as we will be doing that during session 0 so everyone can get to know each other and make the characters together, this way hopefully we can have a smooth session 1 with everyone having talked to each other as players and can now roleplay with their characters About me Hello, my name is Zakaria, but you will probably call me Zak like the rest of my friends. I'm he/him, 23 years old with a strong love for role-playing, collaborative storytelling, and honestly just having a good time in general. I have been running and playing D&D for 5 years and I enjoy it very much. I enjoy meeting folk as part of my work and fostering a friendly environment alongside the table and outside of it, I believe that in order to have fun on the table everyone has to be in a good mindset and I strive to get there. I love engaging with my players and immerse them into the story and the world, and love to see their reactions, for example It always makes me happy to hear my players scream when a terrifying enemy approaches them, feel the nervousness in their voice when I ask them if they are sure about their next action and the multitude of questions they ask me, which shows that they are interested in the story and very immersed in it. However, what makes me most happy is when a player says that they really enjoyed the session. Concerning Payment: Session 0 is totally free! we will get around and talk character ideas and teach any new players the ropes, after that you will have to pay 7.50$ which is half the amount declared in the post for session 1, and after that payment will be in full for subsequent sessions. Payment is sent 24 hours before the start of the session at the latest. This game will require payment to participate. Roll20 is not responsible for any payment transactions and cannot enforce any private arrangements. Requirements: Having a good mic is a must as we will be using discord's voice chat to
talk in game so get discord as well if you dont have it, decent internet
helps as well, a webcam is not necessary but if you want to use it be
my guest. also should there be a reason why you can't make it to the
session it is expected that you give at the latest a 24H notice. of
course there are days when things spring up on you but this is still a
commitement from myself and the other players and you will be expected
to respect our time as others must respect yours. If everything sounds
