About the adventure
*The call to adventure!* You have found yourself wanting to prove your strength and traveled to the Hunter's Lodge! There you were tested and were one of the successful few to have been selected that year to form a party to go on quests and adventures for the Hunter's Lodge. As a part of the lodge, it is your duty to complete any quests put forward to the Hunter's Lodge, progressing you and gaining a higher ranking as you complete quests and travel the world. Where you step in! After the first few quests, you notice that something dark and sinister is happening in the world and are urged by the lodge to figure out what or who is behind these things taking place and find a way to set it right. Let the adventure begin! A D&D game for beginners! This Dungeon and Dragons experience welcomes newcomers willing to enjoy a new adventure using DnD 5th edition rules. You can expect immersive role-playing, puzzles, intrigue, story-telling, encounters, and epic boss battles! Experienced a lot of DnD? Are you a Veteran? You are more than welcome to join knowing that it is a starting adventure, friendly to newcomers, knowing it is slower paced until it picks up a few sessions in ;-)

Creating your character
You can opt for a pre-made character Or you can create a character with the basic rules for DnD 5e. PLEASE INFORM ME 1 DAY IN ADVANCE
This is a One-Shot set in the Hunter's Lodge Campaign that I am building out. As I go along, I will release more sessions until I have enough to run a full campaign. You will find yourself on a ship and about to reach land! What awaits you at this distant shore is yet unknown, but you know you will continue your travels. You can expect a gripping story and exciting turnouts as it progresses.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
For the session itself, please prepare yourself for some amazing fun! You are expected to have a working mic and camera! Without you will not be allowed to participate. Create a character yourself (using standard-only, 5th edition) or use a premade character of mine. - IMPORTANT - You will need to keep track of your stats during the game yourself. Perhaps you can opt for a print-out sheet of your character or use an app like D&D Beyond to keep track of your health and magic points if you use them. A link can be made available for that. We will gather on Discord where I will be hosting the One Shot and the video call. I will share my screen for key moments in the story. The game will start with 15 minutes of check-in (session 0) to establish rules and the way we play the game.
What Stephan brings to the table
When playing with me as your DM I will aim to bring an interactive and alive world that has great buildings and architecture, people going about their day-to-day business, and NPCs interacting with you sometimes short, sometimes at length. I love playing my games with some background music and will set this up at the start and can share responsibility together for creating a wonderful setting. You can expect a lot of role-playing if you want to engage in it, but you can also have some more intense combat if you prefer. It is all there!

How Stephan creates a safe table
Although I have the role of the Game Master / Dungeon Master, I am also a mental health and life coach IRL. I know how to deal with sensitive topics and am always available for players to reach me. Either via group chat, private chat, voice messages, video messages, or (video) calls. I aim to create an adventure that everyone is comfortable with and is enjoying and I am willing to reflect on the adventure as your GM/DM and consider the group's wishes to see how to move on. In this way, I aim to create a safe space where you as the player feel challenged and are invited to try new things, maybe even with things you could feel somewhat uncomfortable with, but safe. There is a place for you to try here!
