About the adventure

Welcome to The Wizard's Tower Co. - a craft brewery known for its hoppy summer ales. Today, however, the owner has posted a job on the local notice board: "In need of reliable and affordable adventurers. Must be good at extermination." Seems the town brewery is in trouble. Can you and your party help restore the brewery?

Gruber is one of the best DMs I've ever played with! She plays rules of cool, and we've had some amazing stuff happen in our campaign, the Keys From the Golden Vault. We're relatively new, and she always allows us to ask questions, teaches us, and is very new player friendly. She's got great energy and plays off the players well; we can't wait to do another campaign with her very soon!! <3

I had a blast in the one-shot led by Gruber! She was so patient with us beginners and created a marvelous scenario for us to explore. Her knowledge of the game is deep. And her descriptions, voices and music added a wonderful level of immersion to the game. Plus it was a really fun group! I highly recommend Gruber as a DM/GM for a beginner or someone who has played a long time. I hope to sit at her game table again for another adventure!

We joined their one shot for a fun evening on my birthday. Gruber was so fun and knowledgeable, we laughed, killed monsters, and made rat friends!! I'll definitely be back to join in another of their one shots!!

As someone who hasn’t played DND in 15+ years Gruber and the rest of the party made me feel so welcomed into the group! I never once felt like a beginner or novice during the session and can’t wait for the next one!

Additional details

How to prepare

Webcams are not necessary. Mics are requires since this is not play by post. Rules will be listed as a hard copy sent directly to players in the group message as well as in the D&Dbeyond campaign notes and discord. Not necessary but a great addition is the beyond20 extension which allows rolls on D&D Beyond to be shown in the roll20 chat.

What I provide

Digital maps through roll20, custom music, multiple sourcebooks allowing players to play races and classes included, the tortle package allowing players to use the Tortle race, and a rule of cool mentality.

Gameplay details

Link to a Stars and Wishes form will be available to fill out. Breaks are always an option, just message the word "break" and a breathing break will be implemented to allow for grounding or any other needs.
