Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign

About the adventure

You're in Womford, a charming little village that's been growing since the baron built the gristmill, granaries, and docks. It's also became a stopping place for pilgrims since the construction of St. Oswald’s church. Now, mysterious abductions threaten this peaceful place, and the people have turned towards you for help. * Before you start, the DM will work with you 1-on-1 to create a character you'll love. Contact thenorker on Discord. * As the campaign progresses, you can buy a business, start a farm, or otherwise engage in the economy of the village. * If your PC is a local human, you'll begin the campaign with friends and family in the village. If not, making a few friends should be an early goal. * Please no evil characters, loners, tieflings, haunted ones, psionics, blood hunters, Ravenloft, imp familiars, edgelords, or other horror/spooky characters. You can use D&D 2024, however, as well as approved homebrew!

John is a fantastic GM. He weaved a wonderful story for my birthday game which made for some narrative gold. Great for beginners and experienced players alike. He has a unique GM style and unique ways to roll the dice.

Listen, if you have the chance to play with John the Norker as your DM, DO IT! You will not regret it! Immersive world building, fun voices, and very beginner friendly! He makes everyone feel comfortable, he encourages, and his enthusiasm is infectious. Game nights have easily turned into the highlight of my week!

John had a great onboarding process with plenty of information for me to get started in his world. In game he facilitates the action well while giving each player ample room to express their character. Would definitely reccommend.

We played Star Trek Adventures. It was fun and true to the fandom. John has a great ability to keep the flow of the story going. Felt like we were really in a Star Trek episode. There was suspense, mystery, humor -and great science fiction.
