About the adventure
Adventure awaits on the frontier! The bustling cities of the Sword Coast fade behind you as you journey toward the rugged wilderness, where half-forgotten ruins and untamed forests conceal secrets long buried. The town of Phandalin stands at the edge of civilization—a place of promise, opportunity, and danger. Here, prospectors, settlers, and adventurers alike carve out their fortunes, but shadows grow long, and whispers of ancient power stir beneath the hills. This is a tale of treasure, mystery, and peril. You may begin as humble travelers escorting a wagon of supplies, but fate has grander designs. Bandits prowl the roads, goblins lurk in ambush, and deeper forces move unseen—schemes that could decide the fate of the region. What begins as a simple job will draw you into a struggle over a legendary mine whose echoes of power still sing from the deep stone. At my table, the game is about heroic choices, dangerous exploration, and forging bonds—both with each other and the people of the world. You’ll have freedom to explore quests in the order you like, discover secrets at your own pace, and decide how your characters leave their mark on Phandalin and beyond. Expect moments of tense combat, colorful roleplay, and unexpected humor, all shaped by the choices you make. Whether you’re new to D&D or a seasoned adventurer, this story is designed to welcome everyone. You don’t need to know the rules by heart—just bring your imagination, your character, and a willingness to dive into danger. The frontier is calling. What legends will you leave behind?

About me
I’m a passionate GM who believes D&D is for everyone. I love rewarding creative roleplay, building memorable worlds, and sharing laughs along the way. I don’t pretend to be perfect—I’ve made mistakes, but every session teaches me something new. My goal is to create a safe, fun space where players can tell great stories together and feel like heroes. Whether you’re brand new or a seasoned adventurer, I’d be honored to roll dice with you.

How Esdras creates a safe table
I hand out documents for players to anonymously fill out and hand back in to keep them safe during the game. Documents are just a list of things we aren't comfortable having in game.
