D&D Beyond
Bassit The Curious had lived a long time and thought they had seen everything.
The ancient silver dragon sat in their lair sipping on their second cup of Elven moon tea that morning. Gods, the Elves sure did make the best tea didn't they? Now if only they could master a fine biscuit. No matter, Bassit had some Gnomish scones. Bassit spent most of their time in their humanoid form, an older elf with silver hair and a long silver beard. It was easier to appreciate their trinkets that way, and Bassit adored trinkets.
So much so, they founded an island dedicated to finding, tinkering with, and creating them - appropriately named Finders Keepers. Sitting in the very center of Nova Cerul, a glorious floating chain of magical islands, Bassit couldn't be more content. It had been nearly a century since this world had faced any great threat or conflict, allowing arcane study to flourish. Everyone was happy, healthy, and learning. Bassit took a deep breath enjoying the aroma of the tea as one of their advisors hurried in.
"Greetings Bassit, a Wormhole has opened east of here, above Bastions End."
"It is Huecana my friend, and the Sehanites are raining over us, I'd be more worried if there weren't any rips in the ethereal membrane."
"You should see this one, it's different."
Bassit stood from their seat with a groan, followed their advisor to the window, and pulled out a set of magical spectacles. As their vision focused, the wormhole over the open ocean suddenly expanded, and a single brick-red colored horn, massive in size, tore through it. Bassit could see the magical energy around the void gradually expanding, feeding from the energy of the monstrosity pushing its way through.
"By gods, we are doomed," they whispered, before rushing out of the room with the assistant trailing behind, asking for instructions.
"Summon the other archmages! Then run outside to the square and bring me a group of civilians. Be quick about it!"
"Normal Citizens? Why not the war mages? Or guards from the Bastille?"
"Do as I say and hurry!"
Bassit knew that nobody on this continent at this moment could stop the mighty beast pouring through the wormhole. Not even Bassit, in their still recovering state, would be victorious against the legendary Terrasque. He needed more time - time enough to create a team of champions. He had only one choice, to utilize the dangerous plane this monstrosity came from.
He would need to send some poor innocents to the Hyper-Growth Dimension. Maybe, hopefully, they would return powerful enough to save them all.

Hello everyone! My name is Austin and I will be your DM for this insane adventure!
About Me:
I have been playing D&D for about 9 years, mostly as a dungeon master. I also run and teach in a non-profit dedicated to teaching kids the worlds greatest roleplaying game (More about that in my profile!) With adults, I have DM'd a few large campaigns with my friends and family and 1 very successful campaign with players I met here on Reddit! I am back again, hoping to find a great group of adventurers now that my previous online campaign has concluded.
As a DM, my strengths include maintaining good communication with all members of the party, improvising, storytelling, roleplaying, juggling many NPC's and enemies at once, and doing dumb voices. My weaknesses include knowing all the rules and knowing all of the functions of the VTT, which is partially why I want to do this campaign. There is always room to learn and grow in DnD, and I'd love to get quicker with combat and better at knowing the rules off hand. Let's grow together!
My style as a DM can be summed up in one sentence: Let's talk about it. I never try to set hard and fast rules and limitations, but I also am always monitoring the fairness of the game for the players in it. Found a homebrew class you are interested in playing? Let's talk about it. See the arch of your character going a different way? Let's talk about it. I run a 70-30 RAR/ROC split, but if you have a
compelling reasoning for something you want to do I'll always listen.
I love the roleplaying element of DnD, and I do everything in my power to make my players feel comfortable at the table. All of my tables are LGBTQIA+ friendly, as well as friendly to all types and backgrounds. If that is not okay with you, then this is not your campaign and I'm not your DM. I have all players fill out a consent survey before session zero so I know what all players are comfortable with. I think comfort with the game and with each other creates the best roleplaying experiences. If you want to know where I stand on any particular gameplay elements, feel free to reach out!
About This Campaign:
Where: PST, but anyone who can make an agreed upon time can join.
How: DnD Beyond for character sheets, Foundry for gameplay, Discord for voice and chat. I will give you access to all of my content on DnD Beyond when you join.
When: It will depend on what the mutually good day is for everybody, the possible days are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.
Who: 3-6 players depending on the interest and what works. Hopefully you!
As you may imagine, this campaign will be more combat heavy. You will be transported to a dangerous dimension where you're tasked with simply growing stronger, finding loot, and not dying for 20 sessions. With that being said, I won't be able to resist stuffing as many RP elements in as will fit because I love characters and story telling.
This campaign takes place in a world of my own creation, I will send details of the world to those interested, but generally, think of a cross between Elden Ring and a Tim Burton film. This campaign is for 18+.
About You:
Here is what I look for in players in order of importance:
Be a decent human being. Bullying, harassment, racism, descrimination, sexism, homophobia, or any other kind of jerkish behavior won't be tolerated and you'll be kicked immediately.
Be reliable. I've put a lot of work into this campaign, don't reach out if you can't commit to 20 sessions or have a tendency to flake.
Be an open communicator. I can't read your mind. I don't know if there is a problem or a way for things to be better unless you tell me.
Be collaborative. We will all be new to playing with each other most likely.
when people share their plans and ideas openly.
Have good enough tech that it won't be an issue to run the programs above.
While I am all for teaching new players, making this campaign the very first DnD thing you do may be a shock to the system. Still reach out if you're interested!
If you made it this far, thank you! Send me a PM or find me on Discord explorersguildap#0724 if you're interested.
