About the adventure
🧙Learn to Play D&D in an accessible game where all are welcome! 😕Are you itching to get into D&D but aren't sure where to start? ⚔️Do you want to get adventuring and pick the rules up as you go? 🏰Are you ready to jump into the shoes of a ready-made hero? I love running entry-level games that bring new people to this awesome hobby. The story: The mayor asks you to investigate unrest on the outskirts of your village. Shadow-cloaked creatures raid nightly, taking your hard-earned gold and livestock. Will you step up to protect your home? My games: 🐉Teach you the basics as we play - no prior knowledge required 🧚Are relaxed spaces where everyone joins in to tell a good story 🧝Are informed by but not bogged down in the rules.

About me
Gather round the campfire. Let's tell some stories. I'm Jack, and I run light-hearted games where we spin an awesome yarn with the fickle help of the dice. I started GMing for family a few years ago and caught the collaborative storytelling bug. I believe TTRPGs are for everyone and love running fun and accessible games for people of all ages. As a creative writer (MA, BA) with some published short fiction and poetry, I'm itching to meet your characters and weave their backstories into the adventure. I also love using my amateur dramatics experience to bring NPCs to life! I have several years experience adapting / writing and running roleplaying games for new and returning players, including neurodiverse players and younger players. Dwi'n siarad Cymraeg / I speak Welsh!
