About the adventure

A speed run of the first chapters of the definitive Fifth Edition starting adventure. The goblinoid Cragmaw have taken your friends Gundren Rockseeker and his bodyguard Barry Bluejeans. Now you set out in a wagon filled with rotting produce to lure out an ambush party to find the goblins' hideout. In two hours of game time, the Cragmaw will turn Gundren over to The Black Spider to never be seen again. The turnips stink and so does this plan, but Gundren needs you and you need Gundren's money.

About me

Tabletop mercenary and hired diceslinger. 🔘 Weird and unique settings 🏰 🔘Memorable NPCs 🤡 🔘Incredible combat ⚔️ 🔘Unnerving horror ☠️ My passion is the spiral up of intensity as people discover TTRPGs. I love to see the initial spark take hold when a player 'gets it', but also the gasps and silences of shock and surprise when I show an experienced player a new facet of the mechanics or story. You need a BBEG to chase? 😈 A dungeon to delve? 🏰 I'm your guy. Dad jokes? I got 'em. 🤦 Spooky settings, Oh, yes. 👻 I am currently in my fourth year podcasting, writing and editing my second series. The first was Treasures Untold. In it, the characters, settings, and stories were homebrew influenced by some of my favorite novels and stories growing up. Upcoming is an '80s eldritch horror actual play using the Candela Obscura rules set.

How James (@DiceToInfinity) creates a safe table

The TTRPG equivalent of an action movie. You're buying a seat at my table, but you'll only need the edge. You don't have much time and you have to save Gundren and stop the Cragmaw tribe and they are ready for you.
