About the adventure
The rugged hills of the Sword Coast hide more than bandits and beasts. In the town of Phandalin, something old stirs beneath the earth: a key to unimaginable power that evil seeks to claim. Your adventure begins at level 1, as fresh heroes just stepping into the wider world. 🗺️ Explore hidden caverns, long‑forgotten ruins... or the creepy old mansion at the end of the street 🔥 Forge friendships, or make your enemies fear your name ⚔️ Face danger head‑on… or outwit it without even drawing your blade 🎠Shape Phandalin’s future as its savior, menace, or the reason the bartender raises beer prices All players are welcome at this table, regardless of level of experience, and the DM has brought well over a hundred new players into D&D 5e :)

About me
I’m a GM who thrives on bold action, clever problem‑solving, and shared storytelling. My tables are heroic at heart, with a dash of mystery and a wink of humor — the kind of place where you can sneak into a demon lord's castle, face an army of vile things that should not be, and still joke that the dragon could probably use a breath mint. I balance challenging, tactical combat with roleplay and exploration, all without taking myself too seriously. Most of all, I celebrate player victories, embrace surprises, and believe the best games are built together, one daring decision at a time.

Creating your character
You will build your character prior to your first session using 2024 character sheet on DNDBeyond. I will be fully available to aid and answer any questions on discord to help. Feel free to roll, use Standard Array or Standard Point Buy for stats. You may utilize any official WoTC content to create your character (Aka, no third party, partnered content, or Unearthed Arcana) as long as you use the most recent, updated version.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
While we play, we will be using discord to voice call and D&D Beyond and Foundry for the rest, you will need to have an account for each (which are free) and have computer to play on! If you are more comfortable with using D&D Beyond and the Beyond20 Extension to play your character, that's fine too! After joining the game, I'll send you my Discord contact information, as well as links to the game and my Discord server, then help you get set up!
