Giants have emerged from their strongholds to threaten civilization as never before. Hill giants are stealing all the grain and livestock they can, while stone giants have been scouring settlements that have been around forever. Fire giants are press-ganging the smallfolk into the desert, while frost giant longships have been pillaging along the Sword Coast. Even the elusive cloud giants have been witnessed, their wondrous floating cities appearing above Waterdeep and Baldur’s Gate. Where is the storm giant King Hekaton, tasked with keeping order among the giants?
The humans, dwarves, elves, and other small folks of the Sword Coast will be crushed underfoot by the onslaught of these giant foes. The only chance at survival is for the small folk to work together to investigate this invasion and harness the power of rune magic, the giants’ weapon against their ancient enemy, the dragons. The only way the people of Faerun can restore order is to use the giants’ own power against them.
I am proposing this as an Acquisitions Incorporated campaign, where you are not only going through the official adventure but also a customized experience. You can take your franchise of this (in)famous corporation to the skies - quite literally - if your desire for coin and adventures drives you to do so. This content will be optional and dependent on the group's preference.
Game Details

This campaign will run for at least 6 months and up to one year. We'll continue playing every week until the hardcover adventure and storylines customized for the party have all been finished.
Why Pay to Play?
Put simply: There just aren't experienced enough and committed DMs to run free games for the increasing number of people who would like to play D&D online. Free games fill up fast, and they often end just as quickly because there is no investment by the players and no incentive for the DM to commit long-term.
Here are some of the reasons why a game run by a professional DM can provide a superior experience for players who want to simply relax and have fun playing with the same group every week:
- A paid DM is incentivized to show up prepared and provide an outstanding gaming experience weekly. - Charging a small fee per person virtually eliminates busted games due to player no-shows. - Most people willing to pay a modest fee tend to approach the game with a more mature attitude. - Players who invest in the game typically don't cause disruptions by quitting impulsively when something doesn't go their way. - Material costs associated with playing a high-quality game are covered. - Players are not required to make any additional purchases to participate. - Access to all relevant sourcebooks is free via Compendium Sharing. - Official modules, sourcebooks, maps, etc. cost money. I pay for all this out of what you pay me.
About Me
I've been a DM on Twitch for 2 years now. I spend time and take great care to prepare for each session. I also customize each adventure with stories and plots not found in the officially published material. I'm happy to assist players in developing backstories for their characters over the course of a campaign and will create custom quests based on these developments. My approach creates a truly unique experience for all players!
Running Dungeons & Dragons games is my art, and I take great pride in my work! I do everything possible to ensure everyone who plays a campaign with me enjoys a fun and truly memorable experience!
Beginners Welcome!
Everyone is welcome in my games, even those with little or no experience playing D&D! New to online play? That's fine, too! I will provide you with extra help at no additional charge.
