About the adventure
You live in Dragonport, the biggest and most expensive city on the continent. Many adventurers here end up in debtor's prison, but you've joined the Owlbear Brigade, a mercenary company offering many opportunities for profit. You might choose to guard a merchant's caravan, for example, or become bodyguards to a noble threatened by assassins. You can dungeon delve or take an ocean voyage, but there's also plenty of opportunities in Dragonport for those who want to stay close to friends and family. The Owlbear Brigade gives you a safe place to rest between adventurers, and they will sell you potions and other magic items to use on your missions. You can even rise up in the ranks of the company by increasing its reputation, holdings, and market share. Do well, and you might earn a seat on the Executive Council. But look out for your rivals, the Lamia League, the most dastardly mercenary company in Dragonport. They've got a grudge against the Owlbear Brigade, and there's not much they won't do to undermine and embarrass their competition.

About me
Hosted podcasts, won a D&D tournament, and GM'd hundreds of sessions using dozens of different systems. But so what? Yes, I create interesting adventures, talk in funny voices, and orchestrate cinematic fight scenes, but you breathe life into it by joining my games. The best story centers on your character, not my NPCs, the monsters you're killing, nor some plot object you're trying to find. Creating fun, believable universes is my passion, yet it's all just a backdrop for your adventures!

What to expect
Preparing for the session
You will need a mic and a Discord account. No previous experience is necessary. Some of the best players I know never played a session before they met me.

How John the Norker creates a safe table
This adventure may contain depictions of violence, torture, cruelty, horror, and prejudice but I don't like gross games and tend to keep things bright. Players are encouraged to message the DM about any concerns they have. All concerns are taken seriously.
