About the adventure
More than 500 years ago, clans of dwarves and gnomes made an agreement called the Phandelver's Pact, by which they would share a rich mine in a wondrous cavern called as Wave Echo Cave. In addition to its mineral wealth, the mine contained great magical power. Human spellcasters allied themselves with the dwarves and gnomes to channel and bind that energy into a great forge, The Forge of Spells, where magic items could be crafted. Times were good, and the nearby town of Phandalin prospered as well.

About me
Hi! I'm Tony! I’ve been roleplaying for nearly 20 years and DMing for 6+, running 10+ full campaigns to completion, including a 5‑year epic. I got my start in play‑by‑post forums and IRC games, where I fell in love with story‑driven, collaborative TTRPGs. I’m a player‑first DM who focuses on creating immersive, reactive worlds that make every session memorable. My tables are small (4–6 players) and designed to feel personal, creative, and inclusive. 🎲 What You Can Expect at My Table: ✨ Immersive Storytelling: A living world where your choices truly matter 🎭 Dynamic NPCs: Distinct voices, personalities, and meaningful interactions 🗺️ Professional Tools: Roll20 Plus, custom maps, NPC tokens, and ambient music 📝 Session Summaries: Free written recaps, with optional audio highlights or recordings 🤝 Collaborative & Inclusive Play: Every player gets attention; no favoritism or ghosted games ⚔️ Rule of Cool Philosophy: Cinematic combat and creative freedom within a structured game 💡 About Me: I’m inspired by fantasy fiction, culture, and science, and I DM because the best moments come from real people building a story together. My goal is to make your next campaign the one you talk about for years. If you’re looking for a reliable, engaging, and human DM—someone who makes your story the star—I’d love to have you at my table. My roll20: https://app.roll20.net/users/295305/teronism

Creating your character
Character creation will happen over Discord and Roll20 after Session 0 so everyone has a chance to talk character concepts and make sure the party will mesh on a base level.
The application process is very simple. Just copy/paste the format into your own reply. 1. Name (Pronouns) & Age: 2. Experience with TTRPGs and roleplaying: Briefly detail your experience with tabletop RPGs, and how familiar you are with roleplaying in general (voice, in-person, or text) and what kinds of formats you've played in before. No need to write a biography, just want to know how much help you might want or need. 3. What are you most looking forward to in a game?
What to expect
Preparing for the session
All you need is a character concept and the willingness to collaborate creatively! We allow digital or real-life dice rolling, and webcams are not necessary. You will need a working and decent quality microphone, and preferably the ability to use press-to-talk or mute on command. You will also need Discord.
What tony brings to the table
Maps, tokens for people who don't have their own made, written handouts for background information as needed, and assistance with character creation.

How tony creates a safe table
As I am a storyteller, the rule of cool applies here. If it's cool, cinematic and epic chances are I will allow it. I adhere to the spirit of the law insofar as it keeps the story good - but some rules are meant to be broken. I routinely (in my own play) ignore rules in favor of story and thematic penalties I didn't technically need to take if it makes for more engaging story-writing down the line. Because I want there to be no miscommunication:: * Sexist, racist, or otherwise offensive remarks and opinions being espoused, or offensive behavior towards other players at any point will result in ejection. * Murder hobo'ing, meta-gaming, and being overly vulgar just for the heck of it, are all big no-no's. * More generally, don't be a creep. Act responsibly. I try to keep my games PG-13 adjacent and will consult with the group during Session 0 about veils and lines they might have in terms of content.
