How To

Get Started

 

Ready to learn how to join Secrets of the Barrowmaze, the West Marches-style MegaDungeon campaign?

It’s fast and easy!

 

Step 1: Create Your Character on D&D Beyond

When creating your character on D&D Beyond please remember to use the official Campaign Character Creation Guidelines.

Please note that if you disregard the Campaign Character Creation Guidelines, your character will not be approved and you will not be able to join the campaign.

If you do not already have a D&D Beyond account, you do not need to sign up for a paid account; the basic option available for free works just fine for this campaign.

If you would like help creating your character, you can book a character creation session with DM Greg, where he will help you flesh out and stat your character concept.

 

Step 2: Download and Install Beyond20

The Beyond20 browser plugin for Chrome or Firefox is an outstanding browser plug-in that integrates D&D Beyond seamlessly with Roll20.

 

Step 3: Set Up an Account on Roll20

All Secrets of the Barrowmaze sessions take place on Roll20 VTT, so you will need a free account on this platform in order to play. You do not need any paid account features in order to access the campaign tabletop.

Step 4: Join the Mastermind GM for Hire Discord Server

Join the Mastermind GM for Hire Discord Server, accept the server rules, and follow the posted instructions.

When you introduce yourself in the Welcome channel, let our concierge team know you’re here for Secrets of the Barrowmaze. They will assign you access to all campaign-related channels.

From there, say hello and post a link to your character and a character token for Roll20 on D&D Beyond in #the-barracks. Once your character is approved by DM Greg, you’ll be given the links to join the Secrets of the Barrowmaze campaign on both D&D Beyond and Roll20.

Step 5: Stop into #The-Early-Grave and Introduce Yourself!

Your character is approved. You’ve got your recurring Mastermind Adventures membership. You’re in the campaign Discord, and you’re set up on D&D Beyond, Roll20, and Beyond20.

It’s time to start exploring! Head on over to #The-Early-Grave, post an introduction, chat up your fellow players, and check out some of the session reports! Or grab a job off #The-Bounty-Board and post a call in #Mustering to rally a table! However you want to go about it, you’re ready to book your first session!
