About the adventure

👻Ghosts of the past lurking around every corner on the coast of Tal'dorei 👻 ⛵️Seas filled with excitement and danger⛵️ 🦈Teeth and daggers poised to tear you apart🦈 🪙As you climb the coastal path the haunted mansion comes in to view, dark and moody on the hilltop overlooking the swirling sea below. The thought of the untold riches within the abandoned manor quickens your pulse as you approach, or maybe that's the stories of the unsettling wailing and flashing lights making your heart pound. 🎲Who could have guess that treasure hunting would mean stumbling into a mystery far larger then you could have possibly imagined. An unseen evil force is secretly at work and is already nearly fully prepared to unleash evil and pain on the unaware peoples of the coast. Follow the clues, infiltrate bases, and cut off the threat at the source before it is too late for the people of Saltmarsh! This Tal'Dorei inspired Ghosts of Saltmarsh will take you from Level 1 to 12 in a rich setting filled with tricky Combat, Espionage, and Roleplay with a diverse roster of NPCs, all set in Critical Role's world of Exandria. A game perfect for newcomers and experienced players alike. 🌟 Player reviews 🌟 "I've been playing with Dan for almost a year and I couldn't recommend him more highly enough to anyone, but especially if you haven't played DnD or this is your first game on start playing games. " "This is one of my first full campaigns and he’s helped me grasp my character as well as put challenges in front of us. Best of all he quite enjoys the messes our group gets into. " "Dan is an excellent GM, one of my favorites that I've played with in 25 years of tabletop gaming. His sessions are a fantastic way to end my week... I would highly recommend him for new players as well, as he is knowledgeable and gentle in his guidance."

About me

⚔ As a storyteller through and through, I love the opportunity to spin a yarn of epic heroes and daring deeds. Which is why I fell in love with D&D 5e and, most recently, Daggerheart. But what I love most of all, is sharing this passion with others. 🐲I discovered my love of D&D and TTRPGs late in comparison to many, but I picked it up with enthusiasm and it is something that will be with me for a long time. And I hope that if you are just now wanting to get started with an epic adventure, you try it and it is something you enjoy as much as I do. 🇬🇧 And, yes. The rumours are true, as a British GM, the accent is included at no extra charge. ✨ Let’s roll some dice and tell some unforgettable tales.

Safety

How DM Dan Quixote creates a safe table

Before the game starts you will receive a Lines and Veils document to fill out and return. As a group in our Session 0 we will discuss the themes of the game, create characters or backstories, and outline any blacklisted topics, as well as how to use the X-card in the chat as we play. And when our session time has ended I will make sure to check in with each player to make sure all is well and allow some time for open dialog.
