About the adventure
Welcome, Heroes… Beyond the crashing waves and mist-shrouded cliffs of the Sword Coast North, where jagged mountain ranges claw at the sky and ancient forests whisper of forgotten empires, opportunity — and danger — walk hand in hand. This is a land shaped by steel and spell. Proud cities and hardy frontier towns stand united beneath the banner of the Lords’ Alliance, sworn to defend Faerûn from the darkness that stirs beyond civilization’s fragile borders. But even here, in lands guarded by banners and blades, old powers awaken beneath the stone. And that’s where you come in. A dwarf prospector by the name of Gundren Rockseeker seeks 4–6 capable souls — mercenaries, sellswords, adventurers hungry for coin and glory. His task seems simple enough: escort a wagon of mining supplies from the bustling city of Neverwinter to the frontier town of Phandalin. Phandalin — a modest settlement rebuilt atop the ruins of a once-thriving mining town. A place where fortunes are made… and buried. Your cargo is bound for Barthen’s Provisions, where a merchant named Elmar Barthen promises payment of 10 gold pieces per adventurer upon safe delivery. Easy coin, perhaps. A simple job on a well-traveled road. But Gundren is in a hurry. Too much of a hurry. He speaks of opportunity. Of discovery. Of something big. The wagon is loaded. The road awaits. And every legend begins with what seems like a simple task.

About me
Hello, My name is Chef. I'm a professional Dungeon Master. https://chefsdungeon.com/ <---Website link! (More Info) My website adventure links will bring you back here, this website is just for additonal information all in one place. I'm a professional game master who really enjoys running TTRPGs on this platform. I have been running games for a few years now and really enjoy the community I've built over time. Some of my players have actually ended up becoming friends, and others have made friend groups from joining my games. It's just a great time seeing how TTRPGs can bring complete strangers together and create new friendships. When I'm not running games, I'm working full-time in restaurants. Mostly morning shifts (EST Timezone), but sometimes I'm required to work nights when they can't find anyone else to fill a shift, and of course, I'm always in the kitchen for the holidays. I also have a few helpers on my Discord server that are there whenI'm at work to help assist new players joining. They've all been around for a while and are well educated in how I run things. Other than being a Game Master, and chef. I like to do computer programming (the reason I even crafted up my own website), Playing video games, and training with my German Shepherds. Oh! I also like to donate a portion of my income each month to a GSD rescue! So if you're all about supporting the working puppies who need good homes, your sessions help them continue to do the good work they do and get these dogs out of shelters. So that's me, chef. The Game master who just loves to do this and really hopes you come to my adventures and have a great experience!

Creating your character
We will do character creation before session 0. Post in Intro Section & send chef your backstory Please make sure you follow my build rules (on discord) Starting level will be level 2. (But we start with a pre-session at session 0 - which will be level 1) You will need to have access to our Discord server and have the following: - dnd beyond account - roll20 account - dnd beyond extension (there are a few out there) -Google account (for survey) https://discord.gg/FGmVjTU5ny <--- Discord Server. STEPS: 1. Server Rules (click the check emoji to continue) 2. Introduction (PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU START) 3. Roles Channel (you need to pick a campaign role to join in) 4. Read my Character Build Guide: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1INo23vs929B5fJL5ouaW-5LrYCGbJ58UzG4nWC7lf0E/edit?usp=drive_link 5.

But you cannot start with a pet.* **IF ANY LINKS ARE WRONG OR NOT WORKING - MSG ME! I will get to you as soon as i can.**
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Have a character idea in mind before session 0. Make sure you understand the basics of D&D. I'm always here to help new players but having some info from reading through SRD & PHB will help things make sense faster. D&D is a bit of a heavy rule game. Within the discord server, there is a better breakdown of prep for session 0 and staff who help me get new players up to speed. Just please make sure you read the rules doc & build guide doc because both should have a clear understanding of what chef's rules are.
What Chef brings to the table
I bring a fun environment, entertaining RP, and combat that will keep you on your toes. I push to make sure all my players are having a great time during their sessions at my table. I'm always looking to challenge my players and help push their backgrounds into the campaigns so that they feel more involved in the world they're playing in.
Homebrew rules
No homebrew races, classes, backgrounds, etc. We allow some 3rd party content. Please ask first, though.

Safety
How Chef creates a safe table
I have rules in place to make sure no player feels uncomfortable. Stuff like an X card. There are table rules and an agreement that also aids player safety in my games.
