How We Play

---

 At The Inn Between, our campaigns begin with your character. We believe in crafting immersive, backstory-driven narratives where your character’s history plays a vital role in shaping the world. Whether you're a knight of the Purple Dragons or a wizard from Silverymoon, each adventurer’s story is brought to life through a personal one-on-one session with the Dungeon Master. Using Microscope, we delve deep into your character’s past—from birth to adventurer—building key life events that shape who they are before they become an adventurer. Every decision and detail matters, influencing not just your character but the world around them. We also focus on developing the relationships your character has had throughout their life, so NPCs aren’t just strangers handing out quests—they're people who know your history and are invested in your future, for better or worse.

Once your character’s foundation is set, the broader world comes alive. Our games are deeply rooted in the rich lore of Faerûn, drawing from Dungeons & Dragons' history spanning 2nd edition to 5th edition. We revisit and breathe new life into locations untouched for decades, updating maps and lore to seamlessly integrate them into modern play. Whether you’re exploring the ruins of Myth Drannor or navigating the bustling streets of Baldur’s Gate, your choices ripple across the world, influencing other players and campaigns within the same interconnected narrative.

Our storytelling is a love letter to Dungeons & Dragons, honoring its rich history by drawing from forgotten modules, novels, and sourcebooks. But we don’t stop at Faerûn. We connect to other iconic D&D universes like Greyhawk, Dragonlance, and Spelljammer, creating a sprawling multiverse that taps into the full breadth of D&D lore. By blending these worlds, we craft stories that are both familiar and new, paying tribute to the game’s past while forging new adventures for its future.
