About the adventure

Beyond the crumbling docks of a gold-rusted city, the sea stretches wide and unforgiving—a vast expanse where fortune and disaster dance on the tide. The waters hold secrets, some long abandoned, some waiting to be claimed. The law is loose, the guilds tighten their grip where they can, and the only certainty is that the ocean does not care who lives or dies. Fog-laden shores, jagged reefs, and the whisper of something old beneath the waves—this is no simple fishing trip. It’s a test of instinct, survival, and the luck that keeps sailors breathing for one more day. Set sail. Take the risk. The sea gives nothing freely.

About me

My passion for Dungeons & Dragons began years ago, and it’s grown into an enduring love for the game. I’ve played and mastered countless campaigns, from Westmarches-style to my own homebrewed adventures. One thing I’ve learned is that a balanced mix of role-playing and combat is essential. I believe both can coexist seamlessly. I design and run combat encounters where role-playing is as impactful as optimization, and I ensure monsters react dynamically to player actions. For instance, imagine casting Haste on the big bad evil guy and pretending to join their dark side, only to drop concentration and watch as your party dismantles the foe in its lethargic state. My dedication to D&D goes beyond the table. Even at work, I find myself thinking of statblocks and devising scenarios like a Molten Magma Roper paired with a Druid of the Old Ways summoning walls of fire. I consider the terrain, stakes, and whether beloved NPCs might betray the party. I anticipate how players might use tools like a Ring of Fire Resistance they acquired sessions ago. Ultimately, my goal is to connect with diverse people and facilitate storytelling. I strive to ensure players have fun and collaborate to create compelling narratives with fascinating characters.
