Play by Post (PbP): PHANDELVER: THE SHATTERED OBELISK | Lvl 1-12
It started with Goblins. It ends with Madness. And you thought it was just another job...
About the adventure
Phandelver’s mine hides more than ore. What begins as a classic goblin hunt spirals into an eldritch nightmare. 🧱 Return to Where It All Began: Explore the iconic town of Phandalin and the surrounding Sword Mountains—but this time, something is very wrong beneath the surface. 🧱 Uncover Forgotten Power: Face cults, corrupted creatures, and reality-warping magic as you delve into the ruins of an ancient empire tied to the Far Realm. 🧱 For Players Who Like Classic with a Twist: Starts with grounded adventure, ends in cosmic horror. Great for groups who love a slow-burn descent into madness. You thought it was just another job. The obelisk has other plans.

About me
I’m a full-time GM with a tech brain and a storyteller’s instinct. I run clean, well-prepped games with a healthy dose of improvisation and just enough chaos to keep players guessing. I love throwing players into situations they’ll definitely survive (probably). Also: unapologetically committed to terrible accents, delivered with great enthusiasm.

Noralf is a fantastic DM! A great storyteller with amazing worldbuilding. Very organized. Great at making sure everyone is involved and has been able to contribute. Has a great understanding of the rules though is more than willing to embrace the "rule of cool". Great for new and experienced players alike.

Noralf is a great DM, has a wicked sense of humor, a great command of the rules and is accommodating. The things I enjoy the most, is that he keeps things moving at a good pace, helps us as players stay engaged with the material and as allows you to buy into the heroic fantasy of DND. He has access to a ton of WOTC material and the game rules allow for a challenging, yet rewarding and expressive experience. He'd be an excellent choice for first time and veteran players alike and I'd recommend him to anyone considering PBP or live games in the strongest terms.

This is one of my first Play-by-Post campaigns and he explained everything so well, plus the campaign is fun an immersive. PbP is much more convenient for my busy career schedule, and it gives a bit of DnD every day

Extremely immersive. Very professional, and a great DM for beginner players. Games are highly engaging, the DM makes every npc feel like a real person. Even makes my character feel like a real person. 10/10 would play in any game they run.
