About the adventure
This is a living, breathing homebrew campaign grown from the themes and prompts of Candlekeep Mysteries. I’ve taken the book’s seeds — strange tomes, forgotten lore, and uncanny bargains — and built them into a shared world where player choices and personal histories shape events on a story-level scale. What you’ll get: A player-driven table. Your actions and roleplay steer plotlines. The party’s decisions change the world. Backgrounds matter: your character’s past, secrets, family, rivalries, and tiny details become plot engines. Expect bespoke scenes, NPCs with personal ties to you, and arcs that resolve (or explode) because of what your character did before the campaign began. Deep roleplay: more than a combat simulator — extended social scenes, investigations, moral quandaries, and opportunities to improvise. A collaborative narrative: I’ll run the world and prepare hooks, but the story is a shared construction. You’ll see threads from every player’s background intersect and influence the campaign’s outcome. Be ready to roleplay, engage, and make choices that have in-game consequences. Who this is for: Players who love character drama, mystery, and co-creating an evolving story. If you want to watch your backstory become the campaign’s beating heart, this table is for you.

Meet the Game Master
About me
Hello! I’m Ron, a Game Master focused on providing engaging role-playing, exploration, and challenging combat encounters. I customize games to suit player preferences while ensuring they have agency within the D&D pillars. My RPG journey began with AD&D, and I've been running games nearly as long as I've been playing, covering most D&D editions and currently running D&D 5E, Pathfinder 2, and Daggerheart. While I'm no rules encyclopedia, I prioritize "rulings over rules" to keep the game flowing, correcting any missed rules as we go. One of my favorite aspects of RPGs is collaboratively building narratives with players, integrating character backstories into our campaigns, whether homebrew or published. I believe that if you're paying for a DM, you deserve professionalism. I’ll be punctual, prepared, and respectful, treating you as a valued customer. I communicate well and am easily reachable between sessions. For online play, I use tools like Foundry VTT, Roll20, Discord, DNDBeyond, and Demiplane/Pathfinder Nexus. If you’re looking for a fun and satisfying RPG experience, give one of my games a try!

Creating your character
Once a player has joined a campaign, I immediately invite them to the campaign Discord server and begin discuss the character they want to play. Often, the players' characters are created before the FREE session zero, but if not, we finalize characters at that time. I am very pro-player and have almost no restrictions when it comes to character creation.
Looking for players who enjoy roleplaying and incorporating their characters' backgrounds into the overall story.

How DM Ron creates a safe table
We will discuss boundaries during the FREE session zero. During that time, I will also provide each player with access to the digital Deck of Player Safety that they can answer anonymously. Finally, I will routinely check in with each player to see how they feel the campaign is progressing, during which we will continue to discuss boundaries.
