About the adventure
Centuries ago, upon a vast, beautiful, and wondrous world, a horde of vile beings known as the Yoten destroyed the heroic Vanir. The survivors fled to a new world, Grimnir. Vast and inhospitable, many died in the early years. Yet, it was a place to rebuild. Generations have passed but the memory of the old world’s death is never forgotten. Their descendants, the raiders, are ever vigilant and watch for the Yoten’s return. You are one such hero destined by fate to bear witness to Grimnir’s destruction–and perhaps fated to finally break your people free of the cycle of destruction and rebirth known as Ragnarök. From the lead designer of Dragon Age Origins, in partnership with the creators of Odyssey of the Dragonlords, comes Raiders of the Serpent Sea! Take to the seas of Grimnir and battle against the sinister forces of a forgotten past in an epic campaign. 4-6 players will venture through tumultuous waters as they become heroes across a campaign that will take them from 1st to 16th level. Raiders of the Serpent Sea is a blend of high fantasy and a darker world of grim seafaring raiders. Grimnir’s clans constantly fight to survive in this doomed world filled with ancient and fantastic creatures - giants, sea serpents, saber-toothed tigers, and the world-devouring Yoten. Nowhere is safe, danger and glory abound! Inspired by Norse mythology and the history of the Vikings, this is a grim and magical land that can be easily connected to existing campaign settings. Includes the world’s origins, major historical events, and describes the raiding clans and the wealthy kingdoms that continually threaten their lands. Learn also about the cursed gods known as the Stone Court, and the power of sacrifice. Survive Ragnarök. The heroes’ choices will trigger major repercussions in later parts of the narrative. If the world survives Ragnarök, it will be changed by the players’ decisions throughout.

About me
"Humans need fantasy to be human..."- Death My name is Mike and I'm a happy little TTRPG enthusiast currently residing in the South East of England, having claimed this land with the aid of my supportive partner and my less than supportive minions (three grumpy cats)! One day after a theatre rehearsal I was pressured into joining this weird cult where they rolled dice and seemed to pray to them for success... I then thought: "Why not let it consume my life?" Now I'm a GM with over 10 years of experience in over 40 different systems, meaning that I'm ever keen to share my love of Tabletop Role-Playing (TTRPG) with as many new players as I can! Thus Kobold Kaverns was born, a goal of mine to help both fresh and veteran players alike to get involved in their favourite TTRPG settings, or to discover brand new ones, all presented with high-quality maps, tokens, music, and storytelling! All of this is run by your friendly neighbourhood GM Mike! A man who not only has way too much time on his hands, but also has a passion for acting, gaming, and bringing people together through online tabletop games. Whether it is the well-known dungeons of D&D 5.E, the dark and anarchist-filled future of Cyberpunk, or the cramped terrifying atmosphere of Alien, you are guaranteed to find a game (and a group) to suit your play style! Nothing is more rewarding than seeing my players fully engaged with the story, whether it be through laughter or tense anticipation of the action to come. My goal is to create an immersive and gratifying experience for all involved! I am adept at crafting customized adventures tailored to each player's character, but I am also experienced in running pre-written modules for those who prefer a more structured gaming experience. Are you searching for a skilled and experienced game master to lead you on an exciting TTRPG adventure? Look no further because I am here to guide you! Don't hesitate to contact me if you are seeking a passionate and experienced game master to help bring your TTRPG adventure to life. Let's connect for a friendly chat and discuss how we can make your gaming experience one to remember!

How Kobold Kaverns (GM Mike) creates a safe table
⭐ - X, N, & O Communication: To make sure everyone feels comfortable at all times, we’ll be using the X, N, and O system. X means stop the game immediately if something crosses a serious boundary, N means something is approaching your discomfort zone, and O lets us know everything is okay. You’re always welcome to message me privately before, during, or after gameplay to use these signals or address anything else on your mind. This system allows for real-time feedback and ensures that any concerns can be handled promptly and with care. ⭐ - Open Door Policy: Real Life comes first - life happens, and that’s okay! My open-door policy means you can leave the game at any time for any reason-no questions asked, no pressure, no negative repercussions. Whether it's because of an emergency, discomfort, or simply because you're not enjoying the session, your well-being always comes first. I want you to know that your participation is always valued, but there’s no obligation to stay if real life calls or if the game’s not working for you. ⭐ - Our Gameplay: You can look forward to deep, narrative-driven sessions where character development, interaction, and teamwork are central. The world will present tactical challenges, and your decisions will have meaningful consequences-so think ahead! While I want you to have fun, when your character steps into a fire, expect them to get burned. The balance between risk and reward will drive much of the experience, and I’ll do my best to keep you on your toes! Your safety and enjoyment are my top priorities. By implementing these tools and practices, I hope to create a space where we can create a rich, immersive world together. Your comfort and feedback are vital to this, so don’t hesitate to reach out with any thoughts or suggestions along the way.
