Battle of the Bands – One Shot D&D Event

Contact us in private to schedule this event!

Welcome all to the greatest underground music event of all time! Here we will pit Band vs. Band in a 3 round competition that will blow their minds. Each Round will consist of 2 stages: Performance and Combat.

Each round starts off with the Performance stage. Each bands will do a group performance, you better do well as the winner gets a bonus turn at the start of the Combat stage. This can be used to buff themselves, alter the playing field or even just prepare for combat. The losing team will enter the Combat field once the bonus turn is complete and the fight will then begin!

The Combat stage is a full on Band vs Band brawl. Once a Bard is downed, they are out of the fight, so you better hope your team wins, or there’s no coming back! Since we want to see our Bards perform their best, the winning team will get all the benefits of a long rest and the end of each stage before moving onto the next round. So no holding back, ya hear!

Does your team have what it takes to conquer their way to the top?

This is a team-based One Shot event and is scheduled on a team by team basis. Please reach out to DM Lytha by email to l.hawkeye@elitednd.com, or join our Discord server here

Character Creation

Battle of the Bands is a One Shot for 3-6 level 5 characters and should take around 3 hours to complete. Please create a level 5 character, with a minimum 1 level of Bard, using Point buy or Standard array for skills and Max HP for level 1. You will then get the average for the remaining levels.

Everything from Wizards of the Coast is allowed for character creation. You will have access to our compendium with every module to create your character.

D&D Beyond will not be allowed, you will have to use Charactermancer. You can either use an empty character sheet provided or import your character. We will be more than happy to provide assistance if needed.

Word from your DM

Hi I’m DM Lytha! I’m an avid gamer who loves to play games in any form, and fell in love with D&D back in 3.5e (we don’t talk about 4e)! During COVID we swapped to Roll20 and I decided to try and give DMing another go since I had a lot more free time. Since then I had been consistently running 2 campaigns, one of which is a full homebrew campaign, silly arena one shots and a yearly fun holiday one shot before joining the Elite Adventures team. Since then I’ve had so much fun I just keep adding more and more games! I’m up to 3 campaigns with one shots every once and a while, just to mix it up a bit.

I focus making making that every game is unique to each group, where even the smallest decision can have an impact on the rest of the game! I use inside jokes, custom maps, NPCs, spell templates and magic items tailored for each group, and player, to make sure that my players are getting the best experience they can, no matter their previous gaming experience! I truly believe that it’s the players that tell the story and it’s my job to bring that story to life!

I welcome all at my table and make it a safe place for any and everyone! So grab your dice and let’s dive into a world of your own making

We highly recommend you make any necessary preparations before the game commences. These may include things such as reviewing these tutorials prior to the start of the game.
