About the adventure
A routine guard mission at the recently reoccupied Ironspine Keep in the Sword Coast turns into a fight for survival! Szass Tam, the leader of the Red Wizards, has sent his forces to destroy the fortress and overrun the region – and you may be the key to stopping them! ──────────────────────── What previous adventurers have said: " Erick is really an animated storyteller with a lot of depth to his game. Our game was a whole lot more than just slaying monsters. " - Todd "DnD is a game I never thought I could grasp. Erick's creativity in every game was inspirational for my love of the game. DnD always felt foreign, over the last two years I have come to master the game with the help of Erick. " - Joe M "Erick was a great GM. I am a new player and had a lot of fun in Erick's game. Erick was well-organized, knowledgeable, and very patient with everyone when people had questions or technical difficulties." - Alex

About me
My name is Erick. I have played Tabletop RPGS for 30 years now. If you ever told me that I could get paid to play TTRPGs I would have thought you were joking. But here I am today. The CEO of StartPlaying asked me join StartPlaying during beta just before the pandemic. When the pandemic lifted I went back to running in-person games at game rooms where I live. I now back on StartPlaying to open up to online games again. I have run games for events, conventions and Adventure League helping people learn and understand TTRPGs for the first time. And for the advanced players, I have offered challenging and intriguing memorable stories. I have traveled the world as a travel photographer connecting with people and telling their stories. Now it is time to create our own stories together. Let us sit down with a group of friends, roll some dice and tell a story together.
