About the adventure
Adventure along the Sword Coast and help the frontier settlement of Phandalin, a fun adventure with the updated rules for D&D 2024! Starting at level 1 this is a great introduction for newcomers but also has much to offer for veterans as well. Hired in the city of Neverwinter by dwarven merchant Gundren Rockseeker, an up and coming group of adventurers are to escort a wagon to the newly resettled town of Phandalin. This is will use parts of the Dragon of Icespire Peak module and will eventually follow the story line for the books in that collection, eventually ending at 13th level. Session 0 will be free!

About me
Long time lover of TTRPGs with 10 years of experience DMing for friends. Passion for creating stories, forging bonds between characters and talking in silly voices. Between D&D, Vampire the Masquerade, LANCER and homebrew galore there's nothing I love more than exploring settings with others! My goal is to have my games bring as much joy to players as I have running them. Crafting personalized stories and connecting people to the worlds they embark in is my specialty and my passion is to give you an amazing experience that will stick with you. You're characters are the heroes and you're story matters! Both newcomer and LGBTQ+ friendly!

Creating your character
During session 0 we will go over the character you'd like to play, their backstory and how they came to be hired for this adventure. I want you to feel satisfied when playing your so please tell me any concerns. If any help is needed when making your character I'd be happy to help build the character you want to play. Point buy will be used for stats in this game to ensure fairness and variety when building your character. Any official book is on the table, homebrew must be approved by me before use.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
A D&D Beyond account, a Roll20 account, and a Discord account are required and need to be set up before session 0. A basic understanding of the rules is recommended, but I am more than happy to explain things as the game goes on. A microphone and stable internet connection. All books will be provided by me for character creation and any assistance needed I'd be happy to provide.
What Benn brings to the table
I use Roll20 for virtual tabletop, which includes maps, tokens, and handouts to visualize the game world. Additionally, I have all the books on D&D Beyond, providing easy access to rules and content for my players. I like to provide a unique experience to players with a lot of roleplay and connecting players to the world they play in. With the aid of music and sound effects I hope to craft an immersive adventure. While I tend to stick to the rules I love creativity and am happy to make things work that don't fit perfectly to the rules. This is a game of imagination and fun always wins out. All in all I just love this game and telling a fun story is something I'd be happy to do with you.

How Benn creates a safe table
Before playing I would ask players fill out the Monte Cook rpg consent checklist that will be pinned in my Discord server. At any point players can message me privately with X, N, or O in regard to the current content and will be dealt with immediately. In the middle of the session there will be a 5-10 minute break for bio, drink refills or just a chance to move around. After sessions I'd appreciate feedback or things you'd like to see so I can offer the best possible experience to all of you. Session 0 will be for introductions as well as character discussion and creation. I will also give a brief overview of the campaign with tone, themes and expectations in mind. Any important questions you might have I'm more than happy to answer!
