D&D "The Cycle of Cerberus (ages 18+)
The Cycle of Cerberus is a campaign designed to take a group from 5th to 8th level over 12 quests or labors. Inspired by the 12 Labors of Hercules in Greek mythology, this adaptation incorporates the classic quests, monsters, and motifs of ancient myth while injecting the personality and flavor of Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition (2014). This adventure is for anyone who wants to play D&D5e, beginner or veteran players are equally welcome to sign-up.
It is the nature of the Underworld to suck away the life and vitality of nearly all its servants and the thrice-headed hound Cerberus is no different—the cycle of Cerberus has come to its end. After untold years protecting the entrance to Hades and incensed by the blood of a demigod, he has grown too feral and savage, tearing apart the essences of the damned as they rightly try to shuffle off their mortal coils or ignoring escaping souls entirely. Denizens of the Underworld, either with axes to grind or having simply a proclivity for pandemonium, have begun to overwhelm the Mountain of Olympus. Free from Cerberus' supervision, they have flooded up the slopes and wrought havoc in their wake. The gods themselves are none too concerned; this kind of thing happens every few millennia. It is the Stewards who are tasked with dealing with this annoyance. But the Stewards could certainly use the help, and what better opportunity to create champions of the mortal races? Play a hero attempting to become a champion of legend and strive to put all back in order, fighting or otherwise handling the monsters of classical Greek mythology.
Fun pre-generated characters are provided, or you may bring your own 5th level D&D 5e (2014) character. If making your own character, you may use any Player Handbook race/class as well as the satyr, centaur, and minotaur, and you may use either Tasha's Cauldron or the Player Handbook (2014) for stats and subclasses. DnDBeyond is allowed to make characters and to play at the table, but please be sure to use correct 2014 ruleset and have a printed character sheet backup on hand. Please e-mail [email protected] with any questions.
