About the adventure
🕷️ Into the Depths – Where the Darkness Fights Back! The adventure begins with Descent into the Depths, plunging your party deep beneath the surface into a world of forgotten tunnels, deadly monsters, and ancient secrets. But the deeper you go, the stranger things become... Enter the twisted Shrine of the Kuo-Toa, where fanatical fish men worship a god they may have created themselves. Can you survive their madness or become the next sacrifice? And finally, descend into the legendary Vault of the Drow, where dark elves scheme in the shadows, rival houses fight for power, and danger waits around every corner. ⚔️ Classic AD&D adventure! 🕷️ Drow, demons, kuo-toa, giants & monsters! 🎲 Exploration, roleplay, deadly combat & old-school dungeon crawling! 🏰 A campaign inspired by the legendary AD&D adventures of the 1st Edition era. The deeper you go, the less likely you are to come back... Are you brave enough to enter the depths? This game will be played using the AD&D 1st edition rules with characters starting at 9th level.

About me
Welcome, Traveller. Thank you for taking a look at my adventures! I'm an experienced DM/GM with over 40 years of playing and running games under my belt with over a thousand games run on Startplaying Games. I absolutely love tabletop RPGs, and there's nothing I enjoy more than sharing that love by crafting unforgettable sessions. Dungeons & Dragons is a favorite of mine, and I bring that passion to every table I run. My goal is always to make the story leap off the page and help players fully immerse themselves in the world around them. While I respect the rules, the characters and story will always come first. It’s about having fun, sharing laughs, and letting the dice help tell the tale. Roll a natural 20? Expect something magical. Roll a 1? Well… it’ll still be magical, but probably not in the way you hoped. 😁 I'm especially passionate about helping new players find their footing, learn to roleplay, and get the most out of their game time. Not seeing the system you love? Just ask, I’m always open to new worlds and adventures. So jump on board and let me take you on a fantastic journey. Oh and don’t forget the snacks! I can’t wait to see you at the table.
