Huzzah! I have opened two more campaigns on Sundays!

Intro:

“What brought you here? Do you seek pleasure? Or was it pain? fortune?...mercy?" He laughs. "Me? I'm here because I can't stand the sound of an empty forest. I can't look at a cave high on a mountainside and accept that only bats live there. Sure...I've collected a few rewards from time to time, but I paid for every one of them...”

The wagon driver unconsciously fiddles with the empty sleeve at his right. His far away look is lost in shadows as the fire burns low.

You know the answer, but perhaps you hesitate to say it: you come for something new. You come for something...old.

Campaign:

Experience some of the greatest D&D adventures of all time in this campaign woven from legendary classics - all converted to 5e and presented in beautiful 3d on tabletop simulator! The list of modules includes b2 The Keep on the Borderlands, n1 Against the Cult of the Reptile God, x2 Castle Amber, i3-5 Desert of Desolation, wg4 Forgotten Temple of Tharizdun, g/d/q Queen of Spiders. Add to this list several OSR modules and you get a campaign of truly epic proportions. Will you find your fortune...or will you wind up slow roasting over some lucky creature's fire? Let's see what the dice say...

Setting:

You and your companions find yourselves near the end of a seven-month journey from your homes in Kuva'Tor to the distant lands of Zagyg's reach. You have agreed to escort a group of defenseless refugees on your journey, and though you fought hard and risked your lives, you couldn't protect them all.

Now, you approach the first settlement since since you entered the Irian wastes some 6 months ago. It is called Havecia, and stories tell of lush green fields and snow-capped peaks. Mysterious forests growing from the remains of forgotten empires. And, most importantly, it marks the beginning of a new life for you and your company.

About Me:

Greetings adventurer! They call me Deratio and I have been DMing dungeons & dragons since the late 80s (I started with 1E). I have studied game design, programming, literature and psychology, all of which I draw upon to bring you an unforgettable gaming experience!

In the past I have run Cyberpunk, most iterations of D&D, Kult, Little Fears, and a variety of other systems. For the last 2 years my focus has been developing and testing a campaign woven together from many of the adventures in Dungeon Magazine's "30 Greatest Adventures of All Time" (issue 116, 2004). I have faithfully adapted these modules to 5E, and lovingly crafted 3d set pieces and maps in tabletop simulator for the entire journey - all emerging from the shadows at the edge of the flickering light of your last, dying torch.

To this mix I have added several OSR adventures, and a unique set of optional/homebrew rules that attempt to pay tribute to these classics by more accurately capturing the feelings of desperation and triumph players would have seen in the original golden age of D&D. In its entirety, the campaign can run upwards of 2 years, and presents a huge variety of all 3 pillars of gameplay. I am proud to be inclusive at my table, and prefer a mix of different players and styles. I am happy to teach new players, and can accommodate groups of up to 5 or 6.
