About the adventure
š„ Join the Heist of a Lifetime amidst War-Torn Loria! š„ In the heart of a city torn asunder by war, where Lord Commander Julian Bone's relentless Auldoran armies lay siege to the land, a desperate people yearn for salvation. Amidst the chaos, a shadowy band of thieves finds itself leaderless, their once enigmatic drow mistress, known throughout the criminal underworld as "The Ghost Orchid," now lost to the annals of history. Destiny calls upon an unlikely group of heroes to continue what their enigmatic leader had set in motion - a daring plan to infiltrate the fabled vault of the Eldercraft Tower. Rumored to hold treasures of unimaginable wealth and power, the heist promises to transform their lives, forever altering the course of their destinies. But for these intrepid adventurers, the stakes are even higher than unimaginable riches.

About me
Hey new friends! Long time player of tabletop role playing games (with a gap where my life was taken over by military service and corporate America), I ventured into online GM-ing during the global pandemic. Baking my own bread didn't work out, but this has! Hosting games has been such a wonderful adventure for me personally, allowing me to keep in close contact with friends and relatives, to nurture a creativity that my work and life had put on the back burner, and (quite unexpectedly) make new friends on each adventure. Before GM-ing, I led small groups of 4 to teams of 200+ in both the U.S. Army and Fortune 100 companies. The skillsets I learned in order to juggle competing priorities, create dynamic and adhesive groups, and foster individual growth are skills I bring to my gaming table. The majority of my games are hosted in a homebrewed world and follow DnD 5E rules. At my table you will easily find life-long players with decades of experience smiling and cheering on those who are taking their first steps into roleplaying games. I lean heavily into collaborative story-telling and love to create lore around my players, as their backgrounds flesh out and enrich the world. While overarching campaigns may take us on adventures of world shattering consequences, many adventures are simply a fun night out with friends. š„ An adventure mashing together plot hooks from every Nicholas Cage movie? Let's do it! š§āāļøWant to turn your favorite bed time story in a survival horror game? I got you! ā”Just need an excuse to speak in a funny voice and spam Eldritch Blast? There's room for you here, pal. And if you don't see a game that fits your schedule, feel free to shoot me a message and I'll help get a game started or matched for you. Got a group a friends ready to go and just need a GM? I'm available for private one-shots and campaigns for groups of 4+. Can't wait to roll dice with you soon!

How Elle McIntire creates a safe table
The Eldercraft Heist takes place in a shared world where currently eight parties are actively playing and shaping both history and current events. Our game takes place shortly after the events of War!, and will use high stakes intrigue, open ended puzzles, and dynamic combat encounters to navigate a city in crisis. Our campaign will begin with a session zero to bring together our band of thieves and set the tone for play style, boundaries, and safety tools. Each game will include a bio break, debrief in our party chat, and Stars and Wishes shared in our Discord server.
