About the adventure
This will be a series of one-shots while we wait for the game I have scheduled in this slot to reach its final player count. I will post a new adventure with this name every week. Last week was for 1st-level characters; this week and the next will be 2nd-level; the next two, 3rd. We will keep adding games one at a time until the game scheduled in this slot activates. (In this Case, Heroes of the Borderlands.)

What You Can Expect: • Decades of Experience: 42 years of running and designing campaigns across multiple systems • Professional Delivery: Clear communication, strong pacing, and polished prep • Player-Focused Play: Storylines that evolve with your group’s decisions • Flexible Offerings: One-shots, ongoing campaigns, or private group sessions • Digital Mastery: Smooth, cinematic play on FoundryVTT • From heroic fantasy to deep-space horror, I bring the same level of professionalism, creativity, and passion to every table.

What to expect
Preparing for the session
They will need to have access to a browser. I'll be available for an hour before the session starts to help with quick character creation.
What Robert brings to the table
This is a D&D 5e adventure. Some of these one-shots will have opportunities to RP. Still, once you are inside a dungeon, it will be dominated a great deal by 5e’s low-level combat experience.
Homebrew rules
I generally consider 20s automatic successes and 1’s automatic failures, even if they wouldn’t normally be.
