About the adventure

The Sword Coast has always been a dangerous place, but your friend Gundren never has been known for his good sense. He's been begging you to help him search the depths of a nearby crypt for clues about a myth he's always obsessed over. It would mean a few days' journey away and strange rumors have circulated along the High Road recently. Banditry, remote villages disappearing and stranger things greeted your ears on the way. Life may be too short not to give your friend the satisfaction of poking around an old crypt it seems. This mini-campaign is designed to run from levels 1-6 (initially) and tie-in with future adventures throughout the Forgotten Realms. Additionally features content from The Vineyard RPG Something is amiss in Phandalin... Bizarre disturbances have wracked the town recently as they look to you. Will you answer? PLEASE NOTE: My community is committed to diversity, equality, and inclusion. If you support transphobia, homophobia, racism, misogyny, ableism, or any other form of bigotry or fascism, you probably won’t be comfortable at my table. You’ll need to look for another game.

About me

Stay awhile and listen! After leaving gamer culture behind during the pandemic, TTRPGs became my new third place. My community is a diverse & queer space that supports folks from all stripes. If you're seeking connection, community, and an opportunity to build a compelling story on top of those, come on in. Top 1% GM

The current party

This game is ongoing and you will be required to schedule time for an onboarding interview prior to approval to join the table. You will not play same day if you join inside the cutoff window. Current party (level 11): Moon Druid Battlemaster Fighter Divination Wizard Draconic Sorcerer Not a super combat-focused party, loves to solve problems with negotiation and crafty spell usage - but will throw hands. We are deep underground searching for a lost stronghold of the Mind Flayers. Hitting join means: You're 18+ We're here for fun. No transphobia, racism, ableism, etc. Enthusiasm and openness are central to a great adventure.

Safety

How shevek1312 creates a safe table

🚨Content + Safety: Utilizing safety tools helps cultivate a positive and inclusive gaming space. Ensuring that follows some basic requirements: No evil/lone wolf characters Make your partners look awesome Collaboration comes before gamification ⚠️Safety system based on the TTRPG Safety Toolkit, utilizing the X, N, O cards built into the VTT. Non-featured content: harm to children or domestic creatures, explicit sexuality, sexual assault, systemic racism, homophobia, or transphobia. Allegories of racial prejudice + bioessentialism have been cut from the official setting. ✋Zero tolerance policy for harassment or discrimination based on race, creed, color, gender, sexual orientation. GM reserves the right to remove a player immediately if violating any of the ground rules. 💅 Table Culture 💅 Heavy Roleplay Challenging combat + thoughtful scenarios Proactive RPers and Gamers love my tables We often find ourselves using the bones of a module while still having space to improvise. Flexibility and improvisation go hand in hand, and I love to bring uniquely focused social and combat encounters to the fore. Above all I emphasize RP + collaborative storytelling (flavor is always free). You won't be found wanting when it comes to keeping your newfound friends alive. I strive to help folks unwind and have a great time; if you value roleplay while with opportunites to show off some off your skills, this is the place for you. To keep it 💯- I value enthusiasm for others at the table over game knowledge. 📏I run primarily Rules as Written (RAW), but I'm happy to Rule of Cool on the fly. Here's my house rules: Healing potions rolled as bonus action Main action confers full amount to you or a friend Flanking is +2 Scrolls - Arcana DC is 10 + spell level Blind Perception + Insight Silvery Barbs is banned Blind death saves Great Weapon Master + Sharpshooter are once per turn (not multiple times with multi-attack) Luck feature replaces inspiration (from ToV Player's Guide)
