About the adventure
🗺️ The Road to Phandalin Awaits... 🗺️ The frontier is restless. Bandits haunt lonely roads, whispers of a lost mine stir the hopes of fortune-seekers, and something ancient stirs beneath the Sword Mountains. You and your companions are bound for Phandalin, a humble town with a dangerous secret — one that could spark an adventure far greater than any of you imagined. The tale begins with The Lost Mine of Phandelver, a story of courage, greed, and discovery. But when your heroes emerge from the depths of the mine, new storms gather on the horizon. A world-shaking threat looms — and you will decide which path to follow when the campaign expands into a full-scale epic that carries your characters to level 15 and beyond. Are you ready to carve your name into the legends of the Sword Coast? ⚔️ About the Game - Starts with Lost Mine of Phandelver (Levels 1–5) - Transitions into a player-chosen, full-length campaign - Blend of roleplay, exploration, and cinematic combat - Beginner-friendly, but layered enough for experienced players - Expect rich storytelling, immersive NPCs, and plenty of player freedom **🎠About the DM** Hey there — I’m T, or Taylor if you prefer. I’ve been playing and DMing D&D for 10 years, and running paid campaigns for over 4. With a background in voice acting, I aim to bring every NPC to life with their own tone, mannerisms, and motivations. I love weaving character-driven narratives and giving players room to shine — whether it’s a clutch combat moment, a heartfelt roleplay scene, or a creative solution that breaks the rules in the best way possible. My golden rule? If it makes for a cool moment, let it happen. **🧙‍♀️ What I Ask From Players** 🎤 A working microphone with clear audio 🏡 A quiet or controlled environment during sessions 💬 A positive, respectful attitude toward your fellow adventurers 💻 Discord account for voice chat and coordination No drama, no toxicity — just good stories and good company. **💰 Session Details** - £30 per player per month (4 games total – one per week) - Payments via PayPal or Bank Transfer, due on the 1st of each month **🧾 Join the Adventure** If this sounds like the kind of campaign you’ve been searching for — a journey from humble beginnings to legendary deeds — then your place at the table awaits. 📨 Contact me on Discord: IncrediblyT#7123 — Your humble Dungeon Master, Taylor

About me
Call me T, or Taylor if you'd prefer. I've been playing and DMing D&D for about 10 years now. I have been hosting paid D&D games for over 2 years now. I've done some voice acting work in the past and I aim to make each NPC you meet come to life with a different personality, feel and voice to go with it! I enjoy all aspects of running a game, whether its fluff or crunch, RP or combat, but overall my main rule is to enjoy yourself. If it makes for a cool moment, I'm not going to let the rules bog you down and prevent something epic from occurring! .
View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
A set of guidelines will be provided alongside all necessary material to create a character. Characters should be created on Roll20 or D&DBeyond (Using the Roll20 Integration) before session 0. In session 0, we will have time in the beginning to help flesh out and finish off any characters remaining. Stats can be rolled via Roll20 should you wish to roll.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Characters should be 90% created with a picture included before session 0. No webcam is required, as we use voice on discord, but if you are comfortable with using a camera then you are more than welcome. I ask that you play in a relatively quiet space with minimal distraction, or have the ability to handily mute/unmute your mic. You do not need to be a rules expert to play in my games, as rules tend to take a slight backseat vs the overall experience.
What T brings to the table
I have a professional background in voice acting and aim to bring all of the NPC's you encounter to life to create a seamless living, breathing world. I will be providing all necessary materials required to play the game. I have some experience in photoshop and illustration and can help to enhance and bring your characters to life through art. I own 1000's of assets on Roll20, making it seamless to drag and drop any of your ideas into the playing field.

How T creates a safe table
The safety tools that I use in my games are the Luxton Technique, a discussion in session 0 where we can air any topics that players may feel uncomfortable exploring. It is an open discussion, and you can always message me privately for anonymity. Any topics broached in this discussion will be defined as either a Line (A hard no to the topic appearing in game) or a Veil (A soft no to the topic appearing as if 'behind a curtain'). The game can vary in theme dependant on the module, but covers a range of topics/themes from: Vampires/Werewolves, Gothic Horror, Mystery, Dark Fantasy and High Magic. Games tend to be set at a medium pace, allowing for slower, more intricate interactions to take place alongside the fast paced combat scenes!
