The Start of Adventure! | Phandelver and Below | D&D 2024 |

How to prepare

Our community chat is hosted on Discord, featuring an expansive server with dedicated channels for various purposes. Whether it’s discussing game strategy, sharing character art, or just chatting between sessions, there’s a place for everything. Game dialogue takes place in the server’s voice channels, and while not required, using a webcam is encouraged to enhance the experience. For immersion, I’ll be streaming music and atmospheric sounds through a shared Jam Session on Spotify. The game itself—complete with combat maps, handouts, and character sheets—is run through Roll20, providing a streamlined and interactive way to bring our adventure to life.

What I provide

If you choose to join this game, I’ll be bringing a fully immersive experience to the table. You’ll receive original hand-drawn tokens of your PCs, detailed height charts of the party, and vivid descriptions of your surroundings to bring the world to life. NPCs will have distinct voices, and I’ll be adding original content to expand upon the module, making for a richer, more engaging story. And that’s just the beginning! Beyond the core adventure, expect dynamic encounters, hidden lore, and surprises tailored to your characters’ choices. Your actions will shape the world, and the challenges ahead will test not just your combat skills but also your wit, creativity, and teamwork. This isn’t just a story you’ll play—it’s one you’ll help create.

Gameplay details

My games are shaped by player comfort, ensuring an enjoyable and safe experience for everyone. To help tailor the experience, I’ll be conducting one-on-one interviews with each player before Session 0. This will give us a chance to see if this campaign is right for you, as well as explore what themes, elements, and story beats you'd like to include or avoid. Any topics you’re uncomfortable with will be excluded. Finally, we’ll come together for that group Session 0, where everyone can get acquainted and set the tone for our adventure. We’ll openly discuss boundaries and playstyle preferences, making sure the campaign fits what you're looking for. If time allows, we might even jump into the first moments of the campaign before the session ends!

How will character creation work

This adventure offers a unique beginning. Instead of creating a single hero, you'll be making multiple characters—three to four townsfolk determined to end the goblin threat once and for all. Characters start below level 1, using modified commoner stat blocks tailored to their personalities. They will gain their first level after a pivotal event at the start of the campaign, though this moment may leave you with little choice of who. I encourage homebrew and use point buy for character creation, allowing players to lower an ability score to as low as 5 in exchange for additional points elsewhere. This system incentivizes strong roleplay and unique character builds.
