Adventure Overview
Before the Red Wizards could cast their shadow over Faerun, there was one who rose from the ashes of forgotten crypts to challenge the very balance of the continent. “Szass Tam’s Gambit” is a campaign deeply woven into the fabric of Thay’s lust for power, following the chilling rise of the lich Szass Tam. As players, you will navigate a land rife with clandestine warfare, magical supremacy, and the restless dead. Join me each week and step into a saga where the stakes are as high as the spires of Thayan ziggurats.
Preparation (For Players)
Equip yourselves with a computer, a stable Wi-Fi connection, and a microphone to delve into the arcane depths of Thay. Utilize digital platforms like Tail spire for our virtual tabletop experience, D&D Beyond for character management, and Discord for our in-game strategizing and post-game debriefs. There is no cost to access these tools, but having your personal copy of the Player’s Handbook is recommended, although my digital library remains at your disposal.
Who Will Like This Game
Those enthralled by tales of dark ambition, set against a backdrop of a nation bathed in both literal and metaphorical scarlet, will find themselves at home. If you savor stories that pit survival against the machinations of immortal beings, and where the moral compass spins in a dance of power and sacrifice, then this is where your legend begins.
Character Creation
All classes and races are welcome, with a special invocation to embrace the arcane and the occult, the pillars of Thayan society. Our zero session will be our cauldron where characters are forged in consensus. Any system that kindles your role-playing flame is welcome. Craft your backstory with care—let it be a tapestry that intertwines your destiny with the dark dreams of Szass Tam and the fate of Faerun.
Gameplay
Our table is a covenant of cooperation, where fun is the highest doctrine. The campaign will course through the veins of adult themes, with the thrill of political intrigue, the dance of spell craft, and the clash of armies. Roleplay is the heart of our journey, encouraged but not mandatory. Bring your dice to summon the spirit of chance or let the digital dice of D&D Beyond roll as your fate. Here, we step out of reality and into the grand theatre of Thay, where the curtain rises on the epic of “Szass Tam’s Gambit.”
I did 2 years with Jason in a single campaign, and it was amazing! The story telling, the use of technology, the above-board discussion and compromise, the balance between common sense and the rules — it’s all there. A perfect DM.
Jason is a Phenomenal DM. He works with you on the type of story you want for the game and your character while throwing in some twists and turns that you wouldn’t expect. I have played in 3 of his games and each one feels completely different and each campaign is so memorable. If you ever get a chance to play in one of his games DO NOT! Hesitate on grabbing one of his seats.
This game is my favorite part of the week. I honestly can’t think of anything I would improve.
Jason is an amazing GM. He’s knowledgeable of the rules and knows how to make even failures entertaining. Sessions with him and the group are always a blast and I look forward to them every week.
Playing this game has become the highlight of my week. Not only has it provided an escape, but it’s also a space where I, along with others, can freely express ourselves, be fun, crazy, and truly be in the moment, even on days when I’m not feeling my best.
One aspect I particularly admire is how each session feels like a complete episode – with a clear beginning, middle, and end. It’s satisfying, immersive, and gives a sense of closure, making you eagerly anticipate the next session.
Thank you Jason for crafting such engaging storylines and for fostering a welcoming environment where everyone feels valued.
Jason is one of the best Storyteller’s I’ve ever worked with. He creates this fun atmosphere where strangers become lifelong friends. Every session is a safe space for us, for our characters to have fun, to grow, to even possibly survive a TPK or the end of the world. I look forward to Jason’s games. Each week they happen it’s the only thing I talk about and look forward too, especially when real life sucks. As I said in my title, until Jason retires or gets sick of me, I’ll be a lifelong player for any of his campaigns.
