Rise of the Runelords

Originally published as a Pathfinder campaign I am converting this campaign to 5.5e. From the idyllically peaceful coastal town of Sandpoint to an ancient lost city at the top of the world, Rise of the Runelords takes a party of adventurers from 1st to over 18th level and delves into the mysteries of Varisia's ancient past.

Millennia ago, the powerful empire of Thassilon ruled the land, dominated by despotic runelords who maintained their power through harnessing the power of rune magic. Thought gone forever, the workings of Thassilon are not so far beneath the surface and one of the runelords plans a return to power. Only the brave adventurers stand in his way.

Tyranny of Dragons

The forces of Tiamat, Queen of Evil Dragons, bring war to the Forgotten Realms. Led by the sinister Cult of the Dragon, an army of dragons and foul villains wage a merciless campaign to unleash their draconic god upon the world.

Opposing them is a desperate alliance including the heroic Harpers and treacherous Zhentarim. This fragile coalition needs heroes to unite them and find ways to resist the draconic threat. Do you have the courage to stand against the Cult of the Dragon and the threat of Tiamat's immortal tyranny?

Princes of the Apocalypse

Abolish an Ancient Evil Threatening Devastation. Called by the Elder Elemental Eye to serve, four corrupt prophets have risen from the depths of anonymity to claim mighty weapons with direct links to the power of the elemental princes. Each of these prophets has assembled a cadre of cultists and creatures to serve them in the construction of four elemental temples of lethal design.

It is up to your adventurers to discover where the true power of each prophet lay, and dismantle it before it comes boiling up to obliterate the Realms.

An epic adventure for characters levels 1 – 15!

I have actually played and finished this campaign as a player and it was super fun and really wonky and cool in a lot of the ways that made me fall in love with 5e in the first place. It has everything you could possibly want. An elemental cult! The Apocalypse! 3 more elemental cults! I've wanted to run this ever since I played in it as a character because I know it very well as a player unlike many of the other campaigns I run.

Tomb of Annihilation

Welcome to the Jungle! A death curse has befallen everyone who's been raised from the dead. Its victims are rotting away, and all efforts to reverse the decay have failed. The douls of the dead are being stolen one by one and trapped inside a necromantic artifact. Only its destruction will free the trapped spirits and allow the dead to be raised once more. All paths lead to Chult, a mysterious land of volcanoes, jungles, and the ruins of fallen kingdoms. Below them all awaits a deadly tomb. The trap is set. Will you take the bait?

Magic has stopped bringing people back from the dead, which will have impacts on the players and this adventure is described a "meat grinder" in the front of the book, "suitable for experienced players who have highly optimized characters and who don't mind putting those characters in jeopardy for the sake of a good challenge. It is less ideal for players who are inexperienced or get anxious at the thought of losing their characters." What does this mean mechanically? A death saving throw only succeeds on a roll of 15 or higher (instead of 10 or higher).

Pendelton Ward was one of the Story Consultants on this campaign so despite it's deadliness, there's a lot of silliness to this adventure that I am really excited for. It will be either monthly or biweekly and will be run online. React if interested in being added to the discussion & planning.

This is said to be one of the most fun campaigns for both players and GMs. Most of the people in this server play more D&D than most and so are at a higher skill level than most of the books. This one is made to specifically challenge those types of players. This one will feel dangerous because the rules about dying are tuned towards making the campaign more lethal than most. Pendelton Ward (creator of Adventure Time) was involved in the writing of the campaign so it has just the right amount of wackiness for the high lethality of the campaign itself. Also there's images of undead dinosaurs and thats just fucking cool!
