About the adventure
Welcome to Baldur's Gate! A city of ambition, corruption - and more than the occasional murder. But hey, it's home! Residing in this place, you've eked out a living, even made a small name for yourself and enjoy a stable lifestyle. But with all of these refugees spilling in past the gates, it's unclear what's going on outside of the city walls. What is clear is that there is civil unrest, locals treating those seeking asylum with disdain, even forcing them to live in the street. You are no fool. You recognise a powder keg when you see one. The only question is whether or not the fuse has already been lit...

About me
Ready for adventure? Roll up a character and let me take you on an epic journey! As a seasoned GM, and one of the Premier Dungeon Masters for hire in Melbourne, Australia, I bring a lot of resources and experience in storytelling, theatricality and nuance. Studying the performing arts at a tertiary level for many years along with degrees in literature, contemporary arts and drama, as well as a stint at Melbourne’s prestigious VCA, I’m confident that I’ll be able to help you create a story and adventure that you’ll remember for a long time to come. Be sure to send me a message if you want to arrange a session outside of those listed. I can create an adventure for you to join at a time that suits you! :)
