Adventures in Phandalin [Begginer Friendly🎲 & Inclusive🏳🌈]
How big Adventure a simple supply deliver can turn into to? -Welcome to Phandalin, a small village where several stories start for any Adventurer.
About the adventure
Phandalin is a small mining settlement, nestled in the foothills of the Sword Mountains, a quiet and peacefull town filled with hard working people, but this harmony is just ready to be thorn apart. Adventures in Phandalin is campaign formed by three adventures. 🗻The Lost Mines of Phandelver, from the Starter Set. 🐲 Dragon of Icespire Peak, from Essential Kit. 🐙 And the brand new Shattered Obelisk. Classic Dungeons and Dragons elements in terms of Monsters, Dungeons and Magical items, the Adventure is at the same time perfect for begginers who wanna start their carreer as Adventurers and intense for more experienced ones as they'll delve into higher level stakes while exploring Phandalin's surroundings... or who surrounds Phandalin.

About me
Greetings Adventurers! I am Evan the Bard and I'm glad to tell you a story tonight - your story. As you know, behind every great hero there is a humble bard ready to tell their tales! I have been a DM for over ten years, currently dedicated to D&D 5e with experience both with veteran players and beginner ones. I am a 28 years old living in São Paulo city in Brazil. Previous professional experience with Psychology, Eletronic Sports, Communication and Teaching. My most recent project was developing classes with board games and TTRPG for kids on schools from six to sixteen years old, giving me a lot of experience running games for children. If you want to schedule a game feel free to send me a message here or on my Discord - evanthebard -. On my Discord Channel you can check for available Adventures, Campains and One-Shots, ready to be played.

Sets the Mood
Evan is the perfect balance between understanding and executing the rules and mechanics of the game and allowing player agency and RP to shine through. Players in his campaigns are free and encouraged to focus on what they want to do and why while Evan makes sure things are handled inside the ruleset. My best SPG experience to date!
Not only does Evan help you bring your character ideas to life, but he is always finding incredible ways to organically develop and build them into the story. Having Evan as a DM is really special, as he takes the time for the players to truly play out the adventure they want to play, at their own pace. I'm currently in two separate campaigns of Evan's, with completely opposite vibes/atmosphere, and the effort he puts in into the worldbuilding and mood setting is brilliant. I highly recommend him, especially for beginners as he is incredibly patient, kind and super friendly.
Playing with Evan now in my 3rd campaign with him and have loved the worlds that we make together. I’ve been at Evan’s virtual table for almost 2 years and it has been time well spent, I hope you’ll join us there. His games hit really hard on DnD’s main purposes: collective storytelling and epic battles.
Evan has been so amazing in getting me back into D&D after years of not playing! He's very patient and helpful about me learning the rules, always makes sure people feel comfortable and - most importantly - are having fun! He's gone above and beyond in helping develop characters and work them into the story. He's even taken a lot of time to give me advice and insight on beginning to DM! The gameplay itself is great and immersive. Slow enough to really roleplay but fast enough to stay hooked. Rewards players for their good actions - and brings consequences for their bad ones. He does a lot of homebrewing so even if you've played a module before, I bet it will feel like new! This is my first time using a virtual table top but he's got great maps, fun tokens, etc to make the game look and feel beautiful. Anyways, thanks Evan, I hope I can be half the DM you are!

How Evan the Bard creates a safe table
We'll be using the raw rules for D&D 5e 2024/One D&D but with windows to homebrew or flavor changes. 🔍 Explore the Sword Coast and numerous Dungeons. 👹 Face classic D&D Monsters, from Goblins to Mindflayers and of course, Dragons 🐉 🐙 Fight Horrors from Far Realms 💎Find and Collect Magical Items 🌳 Survive in the Wilderness and Manage Resources Adventures in Phandalin is a campaign with clear main goals and a web of sidequests where every single choice matters. The objectives are really different from one to another and don't have pre made outcomes. The players can solve most of then with a good bargain, nice strategies or simple with a clear critical hit with an axe.
