About the adventure

Always wanted to try Dungeons & Dragons but didn’t want to commit to a full campaign? Or maybe you love the game, but life’s too full for weekly sessions right now. These one-shots are made for you. Each session is a self-contained adventure, designed to be played and completed in a single night—no prior knowledge or preparation required. You’ll be provided with a ready-to-go character, a simple walkthrough of the rules, and a story that drops you right into the action. Come for just one game, or keep showing up week after week to try new characters and new stories—no pressure, no expectations. Whether you’re completely new to D&D or a seasoned player who just wants a quick fix, these sessions offer all the drama, chaos, and magic of the game without the long-term scheduling. You’ll laugh, you’ll scheme, you might even cry (blame the dice)—and when it’s done, it’s done. No strings attached. This is D&D for the curious, the busy, the bold, and the spontaneous. Come sit at the table. We’ve saved you a seat.

About me

Greetings Adventurers! 🎲 Welcome to the realm of epic tales and daring adventures! I am Eryn, your dedicated Dungeon Master for hire, and I'm thrilled to be your guide through the countless realms of imagination. 🧙‍♂️ From a young age, I found solace and excitement in the world of gaming and storytelling. The fantastical landscapes of The Legend of Zelda and the immersive lore of Final Fantasy XIV sparked the flames of my creativity. These games not only shaped my love for rich narratives but also cultivated the storyteller within me. 🔮 I find joy in crafting experiences that transport players to new worlds, challenge their wits, and forge bonds that extend beyond the tabletop. I believe in the power of storytelling to unite, inspire, and create memories that linger long after the dice have settled. 📜 As your Dungeon Master, I bring a unique blend of creativity, adaptability, and a genuine love for collaborative storytelling. Whether you're a seasoned adventurer or a newcomer to the realms of Dungeons & Dragons, I tailor each session to ensure everyone has a seat at the table and a chance to shine. ⚔️ Embark on a journey with me, and let's explore the uncharted territories of your imagination together. Uncover hidden secrets, face legendary foes, and create a story that belongs uniquely to you and your fellow adventurers. 🌌 The table is set, and the dice are ready – are you prepared for the adventure of a lifetime? Let the stories begin!

I am currently playing in two of Eryn's games and she is an absolutely lovely GM with a real passion that comes across in her games. She has shown an excellent grasp of adapting official material to fit her player's characters as well as the skills needed to craft a unique take on the post-calamity era of the world of Exandria, that supports a deep roleplaying experience. It has been an absolute joy collaborating with her to bring my characters to life (or death!). I would thoroughly recommend joining one of her games and look forward to seeing where the adventures take her in the future!

Eryn is a fantastic DM, more than willing to allow player creativity but also able to keep things on track in a manner that doesn't feel stifling or forced. The story is engaging and combat is challenging without feeling arduous. Couldn't recommend Eryn enough and look forward to many more sessions with her.

Eryn has been the perfect game master from start to finish. Eryn listened and assisted me with weaving a character into the world, and helped me feel welcome amongst players who already knew each other, with me being the new guy. Eryn runs a fair game, not too harsh but not too easy and forgiving, which makes it exciting, and she values player input and feedback and incorporates it as best she can. Eryn also keeps good control of her games, and works to correct problems with players without making things awkward or difficult. Finally, Eryn rewards creativity as players and makes you feel not boxed-in. Would recommend her to anypne

Eryn has the best blend of DM styles I've encountered over the years. She's not trying to "beat the players" but does make sure there are appropriate consequences for player actions, which helps make the world feel alive and keeps the stakes high. It's both a joy and a challenge to play in her world. She'll help you with your character's story, making sure you craft something that will actually have weight in game and makes every player feel like a meaningful member of the party. Taking a chance on Eryn has paid dividends for me and I would not hesitate to recommend her to others. I hope to still be playing in her campaigns long after my current character is dead!

Character creation
Creating your character

🧙‍♂️ Character Creation – No Prep Required (Unless You Want To!) You don’t need to make a character to join—ready-to-play characters will always be provided. Just show up and dive straight into the story. Perfect for first-timers or anyone who doesn’t want the pressure of building a sheet. That said, if you do want to try out a character concept, you’re more than welcome to bring your own. It’s a great way to test a build, a class, or a backstory idea in a low-stakes one-shot environment. Starting level depends on the one-shot and will be listed in the session info in Discord. Stats are either point buy or standard array—your choice. Most official content is fine, but if you're unsure about something specific, just check with me first. Whether you're here to experiment, explore, or just roll some dice without any homework, you're in the right place.

What to expect
Preparing for the session

🎲 How to Prepare for Your One-Shot These games are designed to be low-prep and easy to jump into—but there are a few things you’ll need to have ready so we can hit the ground running: 1. Discord – We’ll be using Discord for voice and video. Please make sure you: - Have a working microphone and camera - Join the server (link will be provided after signup) 2. D&D Beyond Account – This is where your character sheets will live (whether you use a premade or make your own). It’s free and quick to set up. 3. Owlbear Rodeo – This is our virtual tabletop (VTT) for maps and visuals. No downloads needed, just a browser tab open and ready to go. That’s it! No software, no character building unless you want to, no stress. Just bring yourself, your internet connection, and a little curiosity—and you’re all set to play.

What Eryn brings to the table

🎁 What You’ll Get From Me as Your DM You’ll always have access to a pre-made character, so you can jump right into the game with zero prep. If you’d rather build your own, I’ve unlocked a wide library of D&D Beyond shared content, so you’ll have plenty of official options to play with. Each session features immersive ambient music, fun and interesting combats (tactical but not punishing), and the occasional riddle or mystery to unravel. Expect a good mix of roleplay, combat, and exploration—tailored to the tone of the one-shot. I run with the rules as written most of the time, but I’m not afraid to bend things a little for a good story or a truly epic moment—so yes, the Rule of Cool does make an appearance when it’s earned. Whether you’re here to explore a new class, try out D&D for the first time, or just have a great evening of storytelling and dice rolls, my job is to make sure you feel welcomed, supported, and ready to have fun.

Safety
How Eryn creates a safe table

🛡️ Player Safety & Comfort I want everyone at the table to feel comfortable, respected, and free to enjoy the game. Before we play, I’ll send out a short, optional Lines & Veils form where you can flag anything you’d prefer not to see in the session. You can be as detailed or as vague as you like—it’s there to make sure the table feels good for everyone. Since these are one-shots, content may vary week to week. Some games will be light and silly, others might dip into darker or more intense themes. You’ll always get a heads-up in advance, and if something comes up during play that doesn’t sit right, we can pause, adjust, or move on—no drama, no pressure.
