D&D 2024 One-shot - What Lies Beneath: Part II

This is the second half of an adventure we started in May at the old Golem's Gate location, with 3 returning players and room for 1 more. Returning players are Cindy, Dale, and Elliott. Message me if you are interested in joining and we can discuss character and backstory since you will be fitting into an existing storyline.

I am a roleplay focused DM trying out a new home-brew world and the new 2024 Rules and excited to visit the new Golem's Gate location! If you’re interested foremost in creating an engaging story through acting and character building while trying out some new gameplay, this game might be for you. The game is in the format of a Lvl 5 one-shot.

The party is a group of former adventuring colleagues and all or some of you are members of a prominent adventuring family (The Galilamas) that have gathered after a long separation and made the trip down to the Twilight lands where a young member of the Galilama family has just wed. We last left our heroes just as disaster and destruction struck the wedding reception. As fire rains down from the sky, it turns out the entire world is under assault and the adventuring party is thrown into a quest to unleash a powerful entity to combat the forces that appears poised to burn this world to ash.

We are using 2024 PHB rules to create a level 5 character, standard 27 Point Buy or Standard Array (reach out to me on Meetup for access to this book through Dnd Beyond if you need it). If you want to incorporate content from any other official sources, that’s probably fine just run it by me before the game by messaging me. You can use the optional rules in the 2024 PHB to customize character backgrounds to suit your character concept. You are starting at level 5 and are moderately seasoned adventurers so you have whatever mundane gear you think your character might have (no magic items).

I play with moderate amounts of rolling, preferring to keep the pace of the game and interactions moving instead of getting bogged down with a lot of rolls, but fear not, the dice will roll and exert their influence at pivotal times when chance comes into play. This game will likely be a mix of exploration, social interaction, and combat, but role-play and immersion will be emphasized throughout all phases.

If you have any questions or comments, reach out to me through Direct Message on Meetup. $5/hour fee, so $20 game fee for 4 hours.
