His parents brought him here in their research to find a way to travel between planes. Something went amiss and his parents and two traveling companions vanished, never to be seen again. He grew up in the Library, learning spellcasting from various books and scrolls he could find. To pay his way he worked as a porter for researches coming to the library.

James Aaron Oh GMs this amazing cast of characters featuring the return our favorite Giff Paladin, Undar Pomo. Undar and Yma Sumac, a shifter rogue, make a daring leap onto a ship as crystalline vines erupt from the dirt of Toril.
This happens to be a Spelljamming ship, which escapes the enveloping planet in the nick of time. Here Undar and Yma encounter Captain Elaina Sartell and Bertie Warsong, a Half-Orc Artificer.
It’s not long before the Xaryxian Empire boards the ship in the form of Astral Elf Beiran Ruahir, and a protocol droid named MD-8, both clerics.
It’s here where our adventurers set out to uncover who is behind this planet destroying plot and hopefully, save Toril from ultimate destruction.

Thomas as a tabletop player brings a chaotic and sometimes endearing take to the characters he plays, from Undar Pomo, a Giff paladin out to do good in the world, to Sebastian, a cynical sorcerer who’s been ambushed too many times by bandits and brigands and has a “fireball first, ask questions later” mentality.

The Deck of Inspiration is a series of three or more card decks designed to enhance the 5e inspiration mechanic. Instead of giving out simple advantage for great role play, the Deck of Inspiration rewards players with exciting and unique one time use boons. These come in three varieties; Divine Inspiration, Potion, and Magic Item.
Turn a regular hit into a critical, Bull rush through enemies without provoking attacks of opportunity, or use your reaction to smack a wizard’s hands to interrupt a spell.
The deck is designed to be drawn at random when a player does something you want to reward. They role play their character’s weaknesses or bonds, they drop a pun that engulfs the table in laughter, or maybe they brought snacks.
Each deck features 55 cards with no more than two of each card. Some cards “level up” with boosted versions, and even more powerful versions in later decks.
