About the adventure
Welcome heroes, To the Sword Coast North, the region to the North-West of Faerûn. A beautiful region filled with a landscape of rugged hills, precarious mountain ranges, and dense forests, it was home to several like-minded towns and cities. The most prominent of these cities banded together with nearby allies to form the Lords' Alliance. An alliance that is sworn to protect the Faerûn region. This miner, named Gundren Rockseeker, is looking for 4 - 6 mercenaries to help him escort his wagon of provisions and goods from Neverwinter to Phandalin. A small now south-east that was built on the ruins of an old thriving miners' town. This rockseeker fellow wants you to deliver the wagon to some trading post called Barthen's Provisions. I guess someone named Elmar Barthen will be meeting you there and paying each party member 10 gp each. Hurry and gather a party as Gundren Rockseeker is onto some important business. He's in a hurry for you to get started on this trip and get his supplies to Phandalin as soon as possible. ------------------------- Hello players, My name is Wes, but you can call me Dungeon Master Chef. I've been running games for about a year now. Specifically D&D 5e. I run a pretty relaxed table for the most part. I don't want to have arguments or disagreements at my table. I have some rules that I stand pretty strongly on, and I have rules that can be altered as we go *not all rules can be altered though*. That being said, let's get into the basics before you join my table. The campaign: phandelver and below the shattered obelisk (Yes chef can run this campaign up to level 20 if party sticks around). If you are not familiar with Phandelver and Below, you're in luck. This is one of my favorite starting points for the area known as Faerûn. There is a lot of area to explore for both the experienced and the new players of this world. D&D is a great game, and this is a great module to start with when learning how to play the game. ====================================== We run weekly games | 3 hour game | Thank you for joining my campaign. - You will need to join my Discord server by using this link: https://discord.gg/FGmVjTU5ny - Read my Character Build Guide: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1INo23vs929B5fJL5ouaW-5LrYCGbJ58UzG4nWC7lf0E/edit?usp=drive_link - PLEASE CHECK CHARACTER CREATION BELOW (you gotta scroll, it gets missed sometimes) IF YOU ARE CAUGHT WITH A BROKEN SHEET: - First is a warning - Second is kicked This has become an increasing problem among the SPG community and players are last minute joining to sneak in their "drows" and "dhampires". ========================================= YOU WILL NEED THE FOLLOWING: - DISCORD - D&D BEYOND ACCOUNT - ROLL20 ACCOUNT - MICROPHONE WITH DECENT QUALITY - Working computer/tablet ================================

About me
Hello, My name is Chef. I'm a professional Dungeon Master. I've been playing D&D for quite a few years now, and have been DMing on SPG for just over a year now. I really enjoy doing this because I meet interesting people, make new friends, and part of my SPG income goes back to a rescue called Misfit Shepherds. So apart of your weekly session payment goes to helping them get new collars, food, facilities, and much more. They have do a lot for these dogs and i love supporting what they do. Other than playing and DMing for D&D, I also still cook for a living. I work in Nursing and Senior care but i used to do michelin star restaurants and working for the big names in the culinary world. I enjoy my current job more because i have the consistent schedule that allows D&D and I also get to help people who can't really help themselves. A lot of our patients can't live alone and cook a meal. So it's a bit more personal when every plate goes out. I also have German Shepherds myself, 2 actually. Biscuit and Brutus, and you might hear them during a session, but they're pretty good about keeping the barking down during those times. I also study computer programming and just like to keep busy. If you're down for a fun adventure, meeting new people, and exploring a world full of fun and exciting times. You should definitely consider joining one of my tables. I try not to run the same exact module by the books when I do official Campaigns and am always brewing up ideas for one-shots and homebrew campaigns. So come join the fun!
View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
We will do character creation before session 0. Post in Intro Section & send chef your backstory Please make sure you follow my build rules (on discord) Starting level will be level 2. (But we start with a pre-session at session 0 - which will be level 1) You will need to have access to our Discord server and have the following: - dnd beyond account - roll20 account - dnd beyond extension (there are a few out there) -Google account (for survey) https://discord.gg/FGmVjTU5ny <--- Discord Server. 1. Server Rules (click the check emoji to continue) 2. Introduction (PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU START) 3. Roles Channel (you need to pick a campaign role to join in) ==== Character Creation (the part your looking for right?): - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1INo23vs929B5fJL5ouaW-5LrYCGbJ58UzG4nWC7lf0E/edit?tab=t.0 Check the build guide. - We go off Point buy system (DO NOT ROLL YOUR STATS) This is not up for debate, everyone uses the point buy in the charactermancer for beyond. - No modifying/homewbrew content. No you cannot mash up things between different classes (multi-class or you don't get that stuff). - No multi-classing til level 3 - Please check the build guide before asking me if you can play "..." - Nobody gets special items, weapons, or anything like that. If i find things that do not belong, i will remove it from your sheet. There's been issues with people trying to get extra stuff at start. - Last, please be patient with me. This is why my startplaying game posts are so lengthy. There's a lot to cover for game night, and it's easier to have it all on here where its easier to access than waiting for me (assuming im at work - taco tues is the hardest day for me to respond on). ======== Once you have done these 3 steps, you should be joined into a campaign. Once you are, please go to general chat (where you should've been pinged to upon selecting a campaign) and greet the party. Chef (me) might be busy at work. Full-time dming requires a really high price on campaigns. I'm not full-time. So please bare with me, I'm doing 30 - 70 hours a week in kitchens. Last step, Check important links in your campaign area to get additional info on the build guide and table rules. If there is no channel, check up near general (same links).
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Have a character idea in mind before session 0. Make sure you understand the basics of D&D. I'm always here to help new players but having some info from reading through SRD & PHB will help things make sense faster. D&D is a bit of a heavy rule game.
What Chef brings to the table
I bring a fun environment, entertaining RP, and combat that will keep you on your toes. I push to make sure all my players are having a great time during their sessions at my table. I'm always looking to challenge my players and help push their backgrounds into the campaigns so that they feel more involved in the world they're playing in.

How Chef creates a safe table
I have rules in place to make sure no player feels uncomfortable. Stuff like an X card. There are table rules and an agreement that also aids player safety in my games.
