About the adventure
The Gnoll Knoll takes place outside a small crossroads town named Scarpo. When the town's mine goes silent, the local Gnoll population is quickly identified as the problem. However, when the first group of rookie adventurers doesn't come back from the mine, your group of seasoned adventurers is sent in. What at first looks like a routine mission turns out to be anything but. Clear the mine, find out what happened to the last group, and discover the secrets of the Gnoll Knoll!

About me
"Entertaining, Eccentric, and Edible" I genuinely enjoy teaching new players the game systems while adding new complexities for experienced players that keeps every session refreshing. I incorporate immersive role-playing, exciting combat, responsive NPC, and creative puzzles, all while providing vivid descriptions to keep players engaged in the world. I have a dog; her name is Koda. Unrelated to anything, but use that knowledge for what you will. My goal is to bring out the best in every player through collaborative storytelling. I am flexible to accommodate to most players' requests and needs while maintaining high quality content. My number one rule, above all else, is that every player at my table is in a comfortable environment and is having fun. I know that messaging strangers can be intimidating, but I welcome any questions about role playing games or anything else you might be wondering. I enjoy talking to players new and old and would love to hear from you!

Creating your character
Your characters will be level 8. Anything SRD is completely okay while Unearthed Arcana will need to be run by me first. I will go over each character sheet with the player to make sure everything is set. If you are new, I will gladly take time before session to go over the process of character creation and aid you in making the character you would like to play.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Roll20 and Discord will be used for the game. Webcam is not necessary, but a microphone will be. If you are new to D&D, a cursory read over of the rules would be appreciated, but not necessary, as I will gladly go over the rules with any new players before the game. Characters will need to be created for the game. You can have pre-built characters and import them into the game, however, we will still go over them together to make sure they fit the rules.

How Donovan Forgy creates a safe table
Players will be delving into a dark mine to explore and fight. Gnoll Knoll will contain nothing that wouldn't be on a TV show. I will ask all players before session what content they would like to avoid and possible triggers. These will be explained to all players before the session starts and these will be hard lines that will not be crossed.
