About the adventure
"Dear Friend, I've found it! I've finally found it! You have been a good friend through the years, thick and thin, and now I must call upon you and a few select others for aid. I dare not discuss details in this letter, but rest assured, friend. Our lives are about to change forever! Meet me at Bah'Kalley's Rest in Neverwinter. I'll fill you in on the details there." -G. Rockseeker In this gritty reimagining of The Lost Mine of Phandelver, you will need a mind as sharp as your axe to have a chance of surviving; danger and death lurk behind every rock, tree, and corner and woe be to the archer who finds his quiver empty as snarling wolves lunge. If you're a player who enjoys the challenge of surviving lethal encounters with grotesque monstrosities, managing supplies, and using your equipment and cunning just as often as you use your blade, come and join us in this odyssey. But make sure to keep your wits keen and your blade sharp, as you face forces below that will challenge even the most hardened of heroes. Wandering in the dark unprepared is a terrible way to go...

About me
I love creating exciting new experiences for my players and really pushing the bounds of their creativity through interesting storytelling, exploration, and combat. I've been running and playing games such as Daggerheart, Dungeons and Dragons(5e), Draw Steel, Pathfinder(2e), and Mothership for several years now. I enjoy introducing people to the hobby and as such, those who join up for my games are also entitled to off-table assistance regarding character creation, rules, in-game mechanics, or any other game related help at any time. So if you're interested in learning or playing any of those, please let me know. Everyone is welcome at my tables, so pull up a chair young and old, beginner and grognard alike. Let's tell a story.

Creating your character
We will be utilizing 2024 rules via DnD Beyond for character creation. Character ability scores will be generated via point buy. Players are expected to learn how their character works in order to keep the action in game moving, however I will be available to help newer players with creation, as well as clarification for more seasoned players.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
We will use Discord for all communications both in game and out of game, so a free account will be required. If you do not have an account, you can create one here: https://discord.com DnD and Beyond will be used for character creation and management. If you do not have a profile, you can create on for free here: https://www.dndbeyond.com/create-account Lastly, to access the game world, you will need an account with The Forge.

What Jeff brings to the table
We will be utilizing Foundry VTT software via The Forge. The experience will feature animated battle maps, animated spells, fog of war/line of sight as well as darkness mechanics, ambient sounds, music, and more. This adventure is for those of us that enjoy ammo/ration counts as well as playing a style where a piton is just as vital as a suit of armor, food is just as important as rest to stave off exhaustion, gold is scarce and bartering shiny things is common practice. I generally stick to rules as written, but common sense will override text and I award creative and clever players. I also provide a discreet open door policy as well as off-table support for questions or other game-related topics via Discord. PLEASE READ: My goal is to provide my players with the most enjoyable experience possible. This is an ADULT table, and I expect my players act as such, treating EVERYONE with DIGNITY and RESPECT. So long as you can meet these simple conditions, you are welcome at my games. Those that fail to do so will be BANNED with NO REFUND.

How Jeff creates a safe table
We will have a general outline of what's expected as well as what will be blacklisted from the campaign during session 0. Each player will be provided with a sheet to fill out to cover anything else. If there is ANYTHING you do not feel comfortable with or are triggered by, let me know via DM and we will IMMEDIATELY adjust and take any appropriate actions (table break, etc). After every session we will take an additional 15-20 minutes to debrief, give feedback, etc. And of course, you are always welcome to message me on Discord. Any information such as triggers discussed between a player and myself will REMAIN between my player and myself, with the table only being informed that the particular item or subject is disallowed. THERE WILL BE NO MALICE AT MY GAMES AND EVERY PLAYER WILL BE TREATED WITH RESPECT. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL RESULT IN A BAN FROM THE CURRENT GAME AS WELL AS ALL FUTURE GAMES I RUN.
