About the adventure
The party’s attempt to grab a rare afternoon of downtime is interrupted by a frantic sheep equipped with a Scroll of Speak to Animals and a fierce determination to get their attention. This is no mere beast, however, but a wizard fallen victim to an embittered apprentice wielding a Wand of True Polymorph. Transformed assassins are looking to grab themselves a mutton dinner, while the only object capable of restoring his opposable thumbs lies in the hands of his former pupil and current nemesis. Fortunately, the woolly wizard has found new allies he can rely on, right? Can the heroes put an end to Ahmed Noke’s transmutational tyranny and restore an innocent wizard to his true form? There’s only one way to find out. . . Learn to play D&D or test the waters with a new class as you engage in this classic level 5 one-shot! ✅ Set out for a single-session adventure with no commitment to a long-form campaign ✅ Engage in role play, puzzle-solving, and combat encounters. ✅ Explore a dynamic environment, complete with striking visuals and animated battlemaps while clashing steel, spell, and wit against a diverse cast of fully voiced NPC's! ✅ Immerse yourself with ambient audio/ SFX through Michael Ghelfi Studios & other ambience suites.

About me
"Travis is a great storyteller and integrates player characters into his worlds extremely well. His worlds feel real and it's very easy to get lost in the moment. One of the greatest feelings I have from his games is that I feel that I was there, instead of a quiet observer, I feel my characters have stakes and choices. Travis is a master at group building. He knows the characters well and suggests way to better mesh them together. All in all, it's probably the best experience I've had in D&D" Greetings Adventurers! My name is Travis and I've been makin' magic happen at the tabletop since the 20th century. If you like a fun & immersive table with heroics, traditional fantasy energy, player agency, and light comedy - let's roll the dice together!
