About the adventure

You were stitched together in a cozy little workshop—a soft, snuggly toy meant to bring comfort, joy, and maybe the occasional bedtime giggle. But the dragon toys have come alive, escaped the workshop, and grown into real dragons causing chaos across the countryside: A plague in the forest. A gingerbread fortress filled with traps. A cult convinced plushie magic can change the world. Someone has to stop them
 and that someone is you. In this shorter-term campaign, you’ll play through all 10 adventures in the Dragon Delves anthology with this toybox twist. You can play as a toy from the toymakers’ shop who’s determined to fix the mess, or as a local villager who’s finally heeded the call to adventure. This game is perfect for brand-new players dipping their toes into D&D, as well as experienced adventurers looking for something whimsical and wild. You can craft your toy hero using the special species from Valda’s Spire of Secrets (book content provided), or choose any officially sanctioned D&D option to bring your character to life—just hopefully not in the “accidentally turning into a dragon” way.

About me

đŸŽČ Hi! I’m Laura. I'm a lifelong storyteller and DM who loves bold narration, fun character voices, and a little theatrical flair with sound and lighting. I’ve been telling stories for over 30 years, and I run games that are designed to be engaging, welcoming, and memorable. I care about good pacing, shared spotlight, and making sure the table feels welcoming and easy to settle into. I’ve had the privilege of learning from and playing alongside some truly exceptional Dungeon Masters in the industry, including B. Dave Walters (Stranger Things) Jason Carl (LA by Night), Monte Cook (D&D 3.5), Beth the Bard (She Is the Ancient), Kelly Lynne D’Angelo (Rivals of Waterdeep), and others. I’m deeply grateful for the chance to learn from so many different styles, systems, and approaches to storytelling. I run both crunchy and story-forward games, depending on what you’re looking for. I’m also known for putting playful twists on familiar worlds—think the Golden Girls in Barovia, a toy on a heroic quest, or other “wait, that actually works?” adventures. The goal is simple: great stories, real laughs, and sessions people can’t stop talking about. My tables are đŸłïžâ€âš§ïžđŸłïžâ€đŸŒˆ inclusive and if you're new to RPGs, fear not! I absolutely love welcoming new people into our hobby. I am a lifelong educator, facilitator, and certified play practitioner. I love bringing games to team building events and companies too!
