Learn to Play DND, The Cragmaw Incursion of Phandelin
Your friends are missing and the goblins have them. The only thing left to do is to take matters into your own hands.
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.

He knows his stuff and is very patient with first time players. Answers our stupid questions and gives us the freedom to do whatever pops into our heads.

We've been playing with James for a few weeks now, and it's been more and more fun as we go along. Highly recommend.

James is extremely friendly and patient with his players, as well as highly knowledgeable. My wife and I did a one-shot with James and really enjoyed the sessions, enough that we decided to fire up a full campaign with him!

James was a great and welcoming GM for the Candela Obscura adventure I played in. I was new to the system and he did a great job easing the group into the world. Definitely recommend and will gladly game with him again.

Had a wonderful one shot with him. Was really great with players not as familiar with D&D Beyond. Had good time management and pacing of the session without any rushed feel. His world we were in was incredibly fun and unique and easy to jump into.
Tall Halfling
James was wonderful. Good story. Clever puns, hidden in plain sight. And when we went in some unexpected directions, he gave us a fun, challenging scene on the spot.

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.
