About the adventure
You have awaken with a horrible groggy feeling and with your head pounding. You have no clue how you made it to this camp. It is cold, and you have found yourself outside a mountain side. You look around and you see your traveling partner and a bunch of other people you may or may not know. That is when a loud roaring sound of a dragon comes from the mountains. Oh! What did you do last night and what have you gotten yourself into? Welcome to D&D, where you will tell a story of a group of adventurers who don't remember their night but suddenly find themselves at the base of the a mountain ready to face a dragon for the prospect of some gold. No experience required. We’ll guide you through everything. Just bring your wits, your imagination, and your best poker face.

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.
