About the adventure
This is the campaign of Phandelver with additions of various other campaign and adventure settings. It is a great intro into the world of TTRPG and easy to play with. In this setting you will adventure throughout the lands of Faerun and the sword coast. But there is an underpinned story of homebrew thrown in for the adventurers to decide if they want to travel beyond the world of Faerun to the world of Firesc.

About me
Hi, my name is Andrew (DM.in.training), don't let the name fool you! So, I am 39, male and have been mostly in-person for my games. As I have been viciously mocked for one of my reviews being me. I want to clarify, I used one of my in-person friends not affiliated with startplaying in any way to write a review and they did so on my account, apologies but want to be transparent. I am all about the experience we gain together as players and DM's. I play D&D 5E rules mostly and the training component has to do with other gaming systems. Been a player for 15 years, DMing off and on over those years. I am all about collaborative story telling that is D&D. I am a firm believer in Session 0's, I lean 50/50 RP & COMBAT (You the players will always be the thermostat for where we are at with it.) I use ABOVEVTT on DnDbeyond, I love to tell good stories and collaborate whenever possible. I honor inspirations and creativity when appropriate as well Embracing the Rule of Cool. I do voices and characters for my NPCs and I enjoy a more inclined experience to RolePlaying over combat but am prepared for encounter preferred players. I utilize a discord server for digital play that you will be able to have your own private player chat but also how we will video chat for each session. Thanks for checking me out!

DM inspiration is given for creative problem solving and frankly anything that falls into a rule of cool scenario 3. Customizations of character to include homebrew content and I am open to discussions prior to session 1 and at a minimum of Session 0 4.

How Andrew (DM.In.Training) creates a safe table
In session 0, we will go over the story and how your character will fit into the world. We will also have an open floor for discussion of content and what may need to be tampered or lessened in any way. After care will be outside the sessions time to discuss privately with me individually any issues with in the game. Lines and Veils will be hard lines from me that I will not cross or allow in my games as well being open to discussing what veils every one and myself is comfortable with. This will include a simple questionnaire form each player can fill out ahead of session 0 for us to discuss.
