About the adventure
Phandelver and Below: The Shattered Obelisk is an epic Dungeons & Dragons adventure that begins in the beloved town of Phandalin, where players first uncover dark stirrings beneath the surface of a seemingly quiet settlement. What starts as a straightforward mission soon unravels into a gripping tale of ancient corruption and otherworldly forces. As adventurers delve deeper into hidden ruins and treacherous dungeons, they encounter the terrifying influence of the Far Realm — a plane of madness that threatens to spill into the material world. This campaign blends classic dungeon-crawling with deep narrative storytelling, expanding on the original Lost Mine of Phandelver with higher stakes and more dangerous foes. Players must confront mind-bending horrors, form uneasy alliances, and ultimately face the shattered obelisks that serve as gateways to unfathomable terror. With its blend of nostalgia and cosmic horror, Phandelver and Below offers a thrilling journey for both new players and seasoned adventurers seeking a dark twist on a familiar setting.

About me
Hey! I'm a newer DM with a deep love for mythology from all over the world, Greek, Norse, Egyptian, Japanese, you name it! I love weaving player choices into these legendary frameworks, just like in the myths, so your group gets to leave its own mark on ancient tales. Expect epic quests, larger-than-life drama, and maybe a few trickster gods causing chaos along the way. Let’s all work together to tell a great story!
