About the adventure
The Adventure Begins… Gundren Rockseeker, a dwarven merchant and your close friend, has hired you for a simple job; escort a caravan to the frontier town of Phandalin. But the journey takes a deadly turn. Suddenly, you’re pulled into a web of forgotten lore, missing people, and a hidden mine with untold power. Goblins lurk in the forests. Spies walk in the daylight. And far beneath the mountains, something ancient stirs… Play through the classic adventure module, "Lost Mine of Phandelver", updated with the 2024 ruleset and focused entirely around you! A Solo Play-by-Post game is a 1-on-1 storytelling experience between you and me, the GM, played entirely through written posts. That's the beauty of solo play. You set your own pace, responding when it's convenient for you. What to expect: - Deep roleplay and immersive writing, with a story that puts your character's choices, goals, and growth in the spotlight - At least one post per day, with potentially more depending on availability - Journey with a companion, an animal partner, or all by yourself - Art and visual aids to enhance your adventure

About me
As what I'm sure is quite the familiar story by now, I first starting playing D&D5e during the Covid-19 pandemic. At first, it was something that a few of my friends and I did to stay connected and pass the time, but it soon blossomed into a full-grown passion for me. Not long after that game ended, I found StartPlaying, and found an easy way to find games to play in and people to play with. Having played as a player for most of my time, I want to grow as a DM, so hopefully I can help other people looking to play find their outlet.

Creating your character
We will use D&D Beyond to create the character sheet. We will be using the 2024 rules update, and all official 1st-party classes, backgrounds, and species are allowed. Any 3rd-party/homebrew material is subject to approval We will start at Level 1, and you can use your preferred method for determining your stats (Standard Array / Point-Buy / Roll 3 sets of 4d6 dropping the lowest for each stat) We can build your character during Session 0, or you can create one beforehand. It's up to you!
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You will need a Discord and D&D Beyond account.
What Evan brings to the table
I will provide access to all 1st-party content on D&D Beyond to help build your character. Upon joining the campaign, I will provide dedicated Discord server where the game will take place. There will be sections for the game, for out-of-character chat, for maps/art, and battle maps to better visualize combat I will run the game Rules as Written, but there is always room for Rule of Cool if it makes sense and can be justified.

How Evan creates a safe table
At our Session 0, we will go over character creation and backstory, a brief explanation of this module, house rules for game, safety tools and their use, and anything else that may come up as we get the game ready. My number one priority is that you have a fun time playing and are comfortable
