About the adventure

This is the classic 5e starter adventure — a perfect blend of story, combat, and mystery. Whether you're brand new to Dungeons & Dragons or a veteran looking to experience a well-paced adventure, Lost Mine of Phandelver delivers. You'll start in the frontier town of Phandalin, sent to deliver supplies… but quickly find yourselves swept up in bandit raids, missing persons, ancient dwarven ruins, and a villain known only as the Black Spider. The story is structured but leaves room for roleplay and character development. I’ll help guide new players through the rules, and I love rewarding creative solutions and big character moments. If you're looking for an adventure full of mystery, tactical combat, exploration, and NPCs who actually remember your choices — this is it.

About me

Hello everyone! Greetings from Greece! I've been delving into the world of roleplaying games for over 15 years now, with around 10 years of experience as a Game Master. While my heart remains true to the timeless allure of DnD 3.5 edition, I've also developed a fondness for running Cthulhu, Savage Worlds, and I'm always eager to explore new systems. My passion lies in fostering immersive roleplay, orchestrating epic battles, and crafting captivating adventures that leave players on the edge of their seats. As a business owner, I cherish the flexibility of my schedule, allowing me to delve into professional gameplay experiences for the sheer joy of it, while seeking players who are equally devoted to character development and the intricate tales that unfold. Beyond the gaming realm, I find solace in horseback riding, and I've also found myself drawn to the world of arts, wearing the hats of both a singer and an occasional actor. Initially, my journey into acting was motivated by a desire to enhance my skills as a Dungeon Master. However, my profound love for the arts, including playing the piano and professional singing, has led me to embrace the world of theater, where I've actively participated in numerous productions. Looking forward to connecting with fellow enthusiasts and weaving unforgettable stories together!

I really enjoyed my 1-1 Call of Cthulhu story! Antigoni set the mood with music background and captivating story telling. If you are a beginner player who wants to try a good horror story telling evening look no further!

Antigoni is a wonderful DM. I am currently playing Age of Worms with her, and she has put a lot of thought into the world and the characters within it, making each interaction feel significant for the character you cherish so much and are bringing into the game. I am only a month and 3 levels into the game and I can already tell that this is the type of campaign and DM style that forever DMs, such as myself, are always searching for. I highly recommend playing in one of Antigoni's games if you get the chance to

I have been playing with Antigoni for over a decade so I might be a bit biased - but then again she has avoided joining the endless piles of the GMs I don't play with... so that has to count for something :P Antigoni's GM style if more focused on the narrative, the story telling and the player choices, she is very experienced both in D&D and many other RPGs. If you are the kind of player who enjoys more story/narrative focused games I think you would totally enjoy her games.

Playing in Antigoni's 3.5 game is a true joy. She knows the system inside and out, making every session run smoothly with expertly balanced mechanics and rulings. Whether navigating intricate character builds or executing tactical combat, everything feels intuitive and engaging.

Ant is amazing! She's been a good friend and player of mine for 2 years now. She always brings a fire and excitement to the table with her and her GMing is no different. If you want a passionate GM who cares about you and your table she is your Gal!

I had the pleasure of playing in a D&D campaign led by Antigoni, and I want to take a moment to appreciate her remarkable skills and dedication as a Dungeon Master. Antigoni's passion for storytelling and creating immersive worlds truly shines through in every session. The way she crafts intricate plots, memorable NPCs, and diverse locations is truly commendable. Her ability to maintain a good balance between challenging encounters and rewarding character development is impressive. Antigoni's mastery of game mechanics and her ability to adapt to unexpected player actions kept the game engaging and exciting. Additionally, her commitment to fostering a positive and inclusive atmosphere at the table created a welcoming environment for everyone involved. I am grateful for Antigoni's hard work and the countless hours she invested in making each session an unforgettable adventure.

Character creation
Creating your character

Characters will start at Level 1, with creation done before the first session. I’m happy to assist with character building or run a brief onboarding session if needed. ✅ Ability Scores: Point Buy or Standard Array ✅ Allowed Sources: Official WotC 5e content (PHB, TCoE, XGtE, etc.) ❌ No homebrew races or classes ✅ Feats and multiclassing allowed ✅ Standard starting equipment or gold 🎭 Backstories can be short — just enough to tie your character to the world, the job, or the region of Phandalin Characters will be created directly in Roll20 using integrated character sheets. If you prefer to use D&D Beyond, I can help you transfer everything over or connect via Beyond20.
