About the adventure
An adventure for fans of the Hobbit like no other... In this Daggerheart Campaign we will begin at a famous inn, where a disgruntled dwarf and a wily wizard are searching for an alternate plan to enter a mountain that was taken from the dwarves by a malevolent dragon. Who will come to the aid an aging dwarf on his life-quest? Using the Daggerheart Core Rules, the original story by the Sage Tolkien and our imaginations, we will write our own story of how the dwarves reclaimed their ancestral home from the tyranny of the dragon.

About me
Hail and well met adventurers, Over the last couple years, I have met hundreds of incredible people around the virtual table. The stories we've shared have brought real-life joy, laughter, and a even a few tears into our lives. Many of these friends are still at the table today. They'll be quick to welcome you to and eager to hear your tales and experiences when you sit down to play. My road to becoming a professional Dungeon Master is a long and storied one that began with a few little fibs I used to tell as an extremely shy kid. When I met new people, I would tell them cowboy stories about adventures I had with my faithful steed. The more smiles I received, the longer the stories went on. Growing up in the Midwest region of the US, Dungeons & Dragons was all around me. I played in my neighborhood when my brother and his friends would let me. Later, he convinced the High School D&D club to let me come to the big table when I was still in Middle School. Fast Forward to 2016, I opened up the Lost Mines of Phandelver Box Set. After a 25 year hiatus from the hobby I loved, I sat down at the table with my kids and rediscovered the joy of Table Top Role-Playing Games. Like many others, the 2020 Pandemic lockdowns led me to an online game that quickly brought me to a joyous career of story-telling and playing games. The rest we say, is canon. Grab a seat, roll some dice, live the adventure, create epic stories, and make friends at the table. Hey, there's an open spot now! David, the avidDM
