About the adventure
Embark on an epic adventure filled with mystery, danger, and treasure in Phandelver and Below! Join us in a play-by-post/play-by-chat campaign that welcomes both beginners and seasoned adventurers. Set in the storied land of the Forgotten Realms, your journey begins as you and your companions are hired to escort a simple supply wagon to the frontier town of Phandalin. But as you delve deeper into the surrounding wilderness, you’ll uncover a dark plot that threatens the region, leading you to the lost mines—rumored to hold untold riches and powerful ancient magic. This campaign offers a rich blend of exploration, combat, and role-playing opportunities, allowing you to shape your character’s destiny while working together with your fellow adventurers. Whether you’re a new player eager to learn the ropes or a veteran seeking to relive a classic adventure, the Lost Mines of Phandelver promises excitement, camaraderie, and the thrill of discovery at every turn. As a play-by-post game, the game will be available 24/7 on Discord, where you can log in at any time to roleplay, take actions, and read what the other players are up to, with an In Character channel, Out of Character Channel, and lots of help along the way from an experienced Dungeon Master. So gather your gear, ready your spells, and prepare to embark on a journey that will test your courage, wits, and teamwork. The lost mines await—are you brave enough to seek them out?

Creating your character
We can chat on discord or voice chat, whatever you prefer. I also have premade characters if you'd rather use/customize those. I'm very open to whatever character concepts you want to bring to the table.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You will need a free Discord account. I will also be giving you a Google Sheets character sheet. If you prefer using a different kind of sheet, you absolutely can. All I ask is that any character sheets be shared with me so that I can look them over and keep track of everything with you.

How apheline creates a safe table
Please be advised that most of the above can be glossed over, but as this is a premade D&D campaign, it will be difficult to skip most of it. Since we will be playing via Play-by-Post/Play-by-Chat on Discord, I can easily mark out any mentions of content you are not comfortable with.
