About the adventure
Experience the troubles and glories that fill the life of an adventurer in the Forgotten Realms. Fulfill contracts 📜, find treasure 💎, fight monsters 🧟, delve into dungeons 🏰, and face dragons 🐉. Your character has a promise to keep 🤝, a dream to realize ✨, or maybe they just really like gold 💰. The adventuring life is how they will make it happen. Playing long sessions is difficult to schedule and find time for, but we still miss playing DnD 🎲 or want to try it without having to sacrifice a weekend 📅. A long-running campaign with shorter sessions can fit your schedule 🕒, and the consistency of attendance will quickly show how much you can accomplish in just two hours each week ⏱️. DnD 5e, for Beginners 🧙♂️ or Veterans 🛡️—I run pre-written campaigns from Wizards and other authors, as well as my own homebrew adventures 📝, and customize encounters based on your characters' backstories 🎭. We start with "Dungeon of the Mad Mage" (by M.T. Black) 📖 and decide which campaign to follow in the main plot together after its conclusion (estimated at 2 sessions). Lost Mine of Phandelver is the most popular pick for the follow-up. 🗺️ Join in and see for yourself! Session 0 is free for all players. 🎉

About me
I have been a RPG player and Game Master for over 10 years, I understand how adult life can make it tough to find time for gaming with friends in a fantastical setting. That's why I’ve found success in breaking traditional conventions like lengthy sessions and needing large blocks of free time. Instead, I run engaging, long-running campaigns with shorter, more consistent sessions that fit better into busy schedules. My favorite system (and the one i have most experience with) is DnD 5e, for its easy modularity and customizable content. I have also played other systems like Shadowrun, Tormenta, Pathfinder 2nd, Candela Obscura and Vampire: the Masquerade. I pride myself on creating an inclusive and welcoming environment, for veterans and beginners and for LGBTQ+ and female players who (for good reasons) may be hesitant to join a game. My sessions are designed to be fun, challenging, and respectful for everyone. My favorite approach to storytelling is blending pre-written campaign plots with character backstories, provided by the players, mixed in between along homebrewed encounters of my own. This mix ensures a dynamic experience where your character’s story truly matters in the game world.

Creating your character
If you have a bit more experience and want to expedite your character creation, here are a few pointers: ➡️ Level 2 starting characters ➡️ Standard Array ➡️ Custom Background allowed ➡️ Multiclassing allowed ➡️ Homebrew allowed (subject to approval) Characters will be created with the follow-up and approval of the DM. The primary instructions will be covered in Session 0. Starting at level 2, all player characters will be free to use any resources from official WotC books (from the PHB to Tasha's and Xanathar's) and are also free to suggest homebrew content to be shared with and await approval from the DM (e.g., Ryoko's Guide to Yokai Realms).
Join a Forgotten Realms campaign with both official and homebrewed encounters that fit your busy schedule.

How Tiago Barbosa creates a safe table
In Session Zero, we will go over our previous experiences with DnD and set expectations on what the players will have their characters face, how they will evolve, and how they will interact with each other and the game. I work with an open-door policy; you may leave the call and the game at any time, no questions asked. However, I am also available to listen to feedback or problems in case something can be done to improve your experience. Here are things i will never include in my games: 🚫 Non-consensual Sexual Content 🚫 Explicit mature content 🚫 Bullying and abuse among players
