They always knew he would return, it was just a matter of when. The world of men has nearly forgotten the ancient prime evil known as Diablo, the Lord of Terror, but... they will be reminded in blood. The dead have begun to swarm the lands of Sanctuary. King Leoric "The Black King," ruler of Khanduras, has begun ordering summary executions of anyone who questions his authority. Meanwhile a mysterious woman arrives in the small village of Tristram. Offering untold riches, she summons all able bodied warriors in the land to fight the growing darkness. Hope is diminishing as the armies of men are cut down before the endless dead and the foul magic that corrupts them. An evil that has waited in the darkness now seeks to plunge the world of Sanctuary back into a bloody age of despair. The dead and demons alike now stand between the heroes of Sanctuary and all hope. For reasons known only to yourself, you have heeded this call for heroes and are traveling with a merchant caravan heading towards Tristram. Experience a dark, epic, and brutally savage campaign where anything is possible! War against the demons, undead and more as you hack your way through Sanctuary to glory! Become stronger, level up and get mysterious and powerful magic items faster than most D&D games! Enjoy Beefed up characters with enhanced Diablo-style character creation options! Journey from levels 3 to 20 and beyond! More choices! Choose from any of the standard races or classes or go for something special such as custom classes, custom races, unofficial classes/races. Your imagination is the limit!

Roll20 is not responsible for any payment transactions and cannot enforce any private arrangements." Why Pay to Play? These days so many people are trying to get into a free game, but there just aren't enough experienced and good DMs to meet the demand. More often than not players spend their valuable time filling out applications and get rejected time and time again because of too many people trying to apply for each free game. When you actually do get accepted players sometimes don't show up or the DM doesn't show up or is unprepared. It's a very negative experience to go through constantly when all you want to do is have a good time and relax. Here are some of the reasons why professionally-run paid games are a much better experience: Avoid the difficulty of getting accepted into a game, don't wait days or weeks to hear back from the DM, get in quick! Charging a small fee nearly eliminates no-shows. A modest fee also ensures that everyone in the group is committed to the game and responsible. People will not just abandon the group and quit the game when something doesn't go the way they want. The game experience you will get from a professional DM is far more enjoyable than a free game could provide. Maturity level is much higher in paid games. Different voices for each NPC including accents if possible. A prepared Dungeon Master who is well invested in the Campaign. An immersive and dynamic roleplaying experience with detailed descriptions of everything. Custom music tracks integrated into Roll20 for realistic atmosphere and immersion. Access to additional subraces, subclasses, feats, spells and more with the DM's shared access compendium to Tasha's Cauldron of Everything, Xanathar's Guide to Everything and the Player's Handbook! All the benefits of the DM's Roll20 Pro membership which gives players access to extras such as, D&D 5e Compendium integration, API Scripts, and more. Help for Beginners. Sandbox style adventuring (no railroading). YOU are the hero of the story and your choices matter, everything that happens in the world is interwoven around what you do and don't do. About your Dungeon Master I have been running Dungeons and Dragons since the 1990's. Over the course of my extensive experience I have run short campaigns and long term campaigns lasting several years. I have a passion for creating living stories and adventures that my players can experience in a fantastical world. I strive to create an exciting world full of intriguing mysteries, alluring treasure, and deep NPCs that are rewarding to discover. I endeavor to create a highly immersive experience that is unmatched, such as extremely descriptive game environments, exciting and dynamic combat full of interactive opportunities, freedom of choice, and atmospheric music that changes based on the mood and situation. Furthermore, I love roleplaying and creating realistic voices for NPCs and acting them out in a colorful way. I also take great pride in creating custom characters, stories, and encounters not included in the written material to keep things interesting! Above all I want to make sure that everyone has a good time and gets the experience they wanted. I will strive to help you create your character and a backstory if desired. I welcome both new and experienced players to my game!
