About the adventure

Or maybe you’ve tried before and want to experience a classic adventure with a Dungeon Master who knows how to make the world feel alive? Welcome to The Lost Mine of Phandelver — a story of mystery, danger, and discovery, guided by me, your DM. In this campaign, you’ll travel the roads of the Sword Coast, uncover long-buried secrets, and cross paths with goblins, wizards, and far stranger things. It’s a world full of choices — and every one of them changes your fate. You don’t need experience, books, or even dice. I’ll provide everything: character sheets, rules explanations, and a world brought to life through vivid storytelling, maps, and voice acting. You just bring your imagination and a sense of adventure. What You Can Expect 🎲 A welcoming table — whether you’re brand new or a veteran, I tailor the experience to you. 🧙 Immersive storytelling — cinematic narration, meaningful NPCs, and choices that matter. ⚔️ Balanced gameplay — a mix of roleplay, exploration, and combat that keeps everyone engaged. 🗺️ Professional tools — hosted online through [Roll20], with all the visuals, maps to make the world feel real. 💀 No railroads — the story adapts to your actions. Heroes make choices here, not follow scripts. The Adventure The journey begins in the humble town of Phandalin, where rumors of lost treasure and an ancient mine spark adventure. Your party will: - Track down a missing caravan and uncover who’s behind the ambush. - Navigate dangerous ruins filled with traps and monsters. - Unravel a mystery that reaches deep into the region’s past. Every session builds toward your own story — your version of The Lost Mine of Phandelver. Join the Party Come explore the world that started it all. Your story begins in Phandalin.

About me

Hello Everyone! Cody here, Forever DM and 1/2 of the Podcasting Duo of DM-IN-LAW. I have been playing TTRPG games since I was a kid, before I knew about DND or really any other traditional game I was making my own. My Dad bought me the 3.5 core books and that is what truly launched my love into this hobby. What makes me unique is that I am a forever DM, I almost never player a PC and the majority of my players are brand new players. I love teaching the game and sharing my insights. DND will always be my first love and entryway into TTRPG but I have expanded and now playing games like VtM (Vampire the Masquerade), Cyberpunk Red, Arkham Horror
