About the adventure
In the frontier town of Phandalin, adventure calls from ruined mines, forgotten temples, and deepening shadows beneath the earth. What begins as a simple escort mission soon reveals a greater mystery—one tied to a shattered obelisk, strange magical anomalies, and an ancient power awakening below the surface. You'll defend a growing town, explore dangerous dungeons, and uncover secrets that twist reality itself. This campaign blends classic fantasy adventuring with creeping cosmic horror. It’s perfect for players who enjoy rich storytelling, exploration, and a mix of heroic action and eldritch mystery. Whether you’re a newcomer or a seasoned adventurer, prepare for a journey that starts with goblins in the woods—and ends with the fate of the multiverse in your hands.

Creating your character
There will be an initial session 0 where we will discuss all character creations options. However to give you an idea a great place to start is that we will be using 2024 core rules and features.

What David brings to the table
I consider myself a narrative dm, I live to create an immersive experience with detailed maps, NPC art, sound effects, music, ambient sounds and more. I love telling a great story and see my dnd games as a choose your own adventure novel that I am your narrator for. I love portraying your humble bard and put on a show but if your not as comfortable in full Roleplay mode that is no problem, lets build your story together and live out your dnd fantasy without the need for long monologues. In combat just as in the story I like it to feel immersive with spell effects, easy to use tools to prevent 4th wall breaks, and enemies that feel just as real as the world. I am a tactician at heart so just as much as I love to pump you up and build your dream character the enemies you will face have a mind of their own as well. From me you can expect some roleplay as you travel through the world and a heavy emphasis on immersive combat and grand exploration. I tend to stick to the rules so that everyone has a baseline and a single frame of reference but this is a story so if that stick needs to be bent a little, why not.
