Dungeons & Dragons 5e | One-Shot

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. ──────────────────────── 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

Erick is great. He was incredibly helpful when any question was asked or any technical problem showed up. He was willing to take feedback and made the whole experience fun. I highly recommend him.

Erick is an enthusiastic and fun GM. His homebrewed adventure included pre-made characters with unique goals and backstories. He masterfully leverages Foundry VTT to create immersive atmospheres. I'd highly recommend him!

Erick knew everything inside and out: his (very fun) self-written one-shot, all the characters, and all the rules. With that knowledge and confidence, he was able to keep the game moving along in a fun and engaging way. The players who were less familiar with the mechanics got friendly and helpful support, those more familiar got to stretch their creativity, and everything came together for a well-crafted story. Erick also deftly handled a split party--rarely easy to do! All in all a strong recommendation and I would happily play with Erick again.
