DM Style: I am an actor and former game store owner for 10 years. Even with published adventures like Rise of the Drow, I try to create an open sandbox and let the players make meaningful choices that have in-game consequences. I've been DMing RPGs for literally decades. My campaigns are character-driven with lots of elements from the PC back stories mixed into the prepublished adventure. Rise of the Drow is super fast-paced, especially at the start, where you are likely to go from 1st to 4th level in the first five sessions. I run a safe table that is perfect for new players: no judgement or bullying. Everyone is welcome. Click this link for more info about me plus reviews from past players: https://startplaying.games/gm/gamersaurus-lex

How to join: Contact me on Discord @GamersaursuLex or sign up on StartPlaying (link below), or leave a few notes about you here (gaming experience, character ideas, and Discord handle). There will be an introductory voice chat on Discord before your first session to talk about gameplay, expectations, character creation and answer any questions you might have.

Tonight, a ceremony of light takes place on the surface. Meanwhile, in the city of spiders, a drow matron solidifies a pact with soul-consuming entities, trading great sacrifices for unimaginable power. Drow eyes turn to the surface. After all, they will need many sacrifices!

The Underworld Awaits: Enter the Underworld, a dark and dangerous place inspired by Norse mythology and popularized by the late, great E. Gary Gygax, as well as authors Ed Greenwood, R.A. Salvatore, and many others. A twisted and dark place with a myriad of cultures and creatures, the Underworld is an entire world buried below the surface, hidden from the light of day. Deep caves and dark passages wind and honeycomb throughout the earth, with distinctly unique species plotting against each other and unknown horrors slogging about looking for an easy meal.

This challenging 5e campaign will take characters from level 1-20!
