About the adventure
Phandelver’s mine hides more than ore. What begins as a classic goblin hunt spirals into an eldritch nightmare. 🧱 Return to Where It All Began: Explore the iconic town of Phandalin and the surrounding Sword Mountains—but this time, something is very wrong beneath the surface. 🧱 Uncover Forgotten Power: Face cults, corrupted creatures, and reality-warping magic as you delve into the ruins of an ancient empire tied to the Far Realm. 🧱 For Players Who Like Classic with a Twist: Starts with grounded adventure, ends in cosmic horror. Great for groups who love a slow-burn descent into madness. You thought it was just another job. The obelisk has other plans.

About me
I’m a full-time GM with a tech brain and a storyteller’s instinct. I run clean, well-prepped games with a healthy dose of improvisation and just enough chaos to keep players guessing. I love throwing players into situations they’ll definitely survive (probably). Also: unapologetically committed to terrible accents, delivered with great enthusiasm.
