About the adventure
[Hi! My name is Brett and I find that I'm a bit of a comedy style DM. Think more Anthony Burch and less BleeM or Mark Mercer. If you like having a good time with fun RP interaction and good combat try my table out. ^_^] Phandalin is being rebuilt on the frontier of the Sword Coast after being in ruins for years. Bandit attacks, Orc raids, and a Dragons have forced the previous residents out of the area but in recent years the area has received new residents and adventurers. Gundren Rockseeker has a business venture set in the area of Phandelin and has recruited you to help establish his foothold in the area. An ancient forge of magical items has been rediscovered and Gundren wants to make you partners in his claim. Goblins and Bandits abound within the frontier while you get established and work up to finding the missing Gundren Rockseeker. A Goddess has drawn her attention to you and a mysterious Cult has been mucking around that worships the image of a skeletal hand clutching a desiccated eyeball. After Phandelver: Below the Shattered Obelisk it will transition into Vecna: Eve of Ruin with the same characters. (Currently at level 7 and well into the Shattered Obelisk Storyline. Current Players are Monk/Fighter/Wizard/Ranger/Warlock(HexBlade) ***************************************************************** Official WOTC Campaign book using Foundry-VTT for maps and automation. 2024 D&D Rules for any chosen source material, unless it doesn't exist in 2024 sources yet. ```````````Campaign Includes ````````````````````````````````````` ✦ Personal guidance in creating/playing your character (upon request) ✦ Session Zero for character story content, intro, other topics for play. ✦ A safe and positive group for players of all walks of life ✦ A private Discord area to connect with your fellow adventurers ✦ Access to D&D Beyond digital resources ✦ Polished, Virtual Tabletop space on Foundry

About me
I've been a forever DM over the last 10 years for friend groups and people I've met online. I've ran a large variety of modules from DMs guild as well as official sources like Tomb of Annihilation, Waterdeep Dragon Heist, Phandelver, and Spelljammer stories. I'm here to give those looking to enjoy the wonderful world of Roleplay and TTRPGS an exciting experience. I welcome all people, from new players to vets. Whether you want to have an immersive roleplay experience or just want to listen to a story being told and participate in combat encounters I'm here to apply my experience for your enjoyment.

What SenpaiPlzDM brings to the table
I stick to the Rules until they get in the way of a cool idea that should be possible by a character. The game gives plenty of ways to overcome stated limitations if you have lucky enough dice! I prefer deadlier combat encounters that make the PC's need to use their movement but it depends on the feel of the Players and what they are looking for. I prefer the maximized crit ruling for combat encounters. Roleplay and discussion is my favorite part of the game! I'm not a voice actor but I do my best at voices and have a set range I've developed of 10+ years of experience for my NPCs. Players are not required to use anything but their normal voice during gameplay. We will be using FoundryVTT for maps.
Homebrew rules
I prefer maximized critical hits where on a 20 you roll damage and also do max weapon damage instead of rolling dice twice. This is open to discussion as some players prefer a calmer experience. Healing potions are a bonus action to roll for the listed dice, example 2d4+2. As an action the potion does full healing possible. Healing a downed player works the same. Currently experimenting with Disengage as a bonus action to allow players more freedom of movement. Instead of character death players will roll on major wounds table should you fail Death Saves in most cases.

How SenpaiPlzDM creates a safe table
Will hold a session 0 on discord or through voice if players prefer to go over anything that they feel could cause discomfort during a standard DND Campaign. I will respond to discord messages and will have a group chat setup through discord for our Campaign if there are further questions or concerns.
