About the adventure
You are all Familiars, magical creatures summoned by powerful spellcasters as assistants. Today, however, your masters have been called to participate in a very unique adventure: serve as guests to the extravagant wedding of Half-Orc Duke Pad-Uul and Dutchess Elf Dotie. While they are busy in revelries, you are free to take the night off and mingle with one another. While the night seems calm, there could be a quest just around the horizon… A Familar Problem is a quick, fun & easy one-shot where you must work together with your fellow animal companions to complete the magical mystery at hand. Great for all ages!

About me
About 5+ years ago, my oldest friend introduced me to D&D. Now, I'm ashamed to admit I was one of those who held the "it's a really nerdy game" stigma. But as we kept going with this one-on-one (eventually bringing another friend into it) self-made campaign before we even knew all the rules to the game... I WAS HOOKED. As I continued to play through the years, it became an outlet for me. This only grew as other genre TTRPGs were thrown into the mix like City of Mist, Pirate Borg, or even smaller scale ones like Honey Heist or A Familiar Problem. Finally, it reached the point where I found myself enjoying worldbuilding even more than I did playing. I've always been an imaginative person with a non-stop desire to create stories with emotion, detail, or pure love for narrative worldbuilding. I hope to share many adventures with all of you on this wonderful platform!
