About the adventure
The Joy of Extradimensional Spaces is a great little adventure I run all the time for new players. You can think of it like a D&D escape room. This adventure offers a taste of everything you can expect in a D&D session - exploration, skill checks, roleplay, combat. A great intro or a great way to test if you like me as a DM for more experienced players.

About me
Hi, I'm Brenton (he/him). I've been GM-ing D&D5e since 2016 and started professionally GM-ing in 2021. I've run intro sessions for over 200 new players getting into their first ttrpg. After venturing out from my dining table at home I have run online, in convention halls, and at the private venue I run with my partner. While I have played a good selection of ttrpg's I keep coming back to 5e it's just the right level of crunch for me.

What to expect
Preparing for the session
Have a Discord account setup, I'll invite you to my server.
What Brenton brings to the table
If we are all playing together for the first time lets play with rules as written (with space to be flexible for rule of cool). I'll screen share a map so there is the chance to get tactical but the combat will be mostly theater of the mind for this adventure. I can teach as we go if you haven't played before.
Homebrew rules
I allow the optional rule of flanking.

How Brenton creates a safe table
If anything goes too far put an X in the chat and we instantly move to the next scene. If you aren't familiar with the "x card" safety tool let me know and we can talk about it before we start. With this adventure I'm not expecting any problems but if you have any lines and vales please let me know and if you don't know what that means please feel free to ask. Regarding the content warnings below you might fight some fiends and there are some creature heads mounted to the walls in a trophy room and specimens in jars in a laboratory.
