About the adventure
LMoP is an adventure for four to five characters of 1st level. I'm open to running it with 3-6 players and can adjust encounters to match. During the course of the adventure, the characters will advance to 5th level. The adventure is set a short distance from the city of Neverwinter in the Sword Coast region of the Forgotten Realms setting. The Sword Coast is part of the North — a vast realm of free settlements surrounded by wilderness and adventure. You don’t need to know anything about the setting or the game to play, and my style is lighthearted and great for new players.

About me
I love GMing because I love watching my players' faces light up when they realize they get to do a cool thing. Sometimes it's "wait, I can be a goblin?!" or "I can fly!" Other times it's the realization that a fireball is a whole handful of dice, or watching a roll come up Natural 20. Even a Natural 1 is disappointing fun for all at my table. I spent 20 years as a historical swordfighter and medieval recreationist, basically playing real life D&D without magic. It's more fun with magic and monsters! As a member of the LGBTQ+, anti-fascist, anti-racist community, I try to keep my games as inclusive as possible while excluding bigots. BOOKING REQUESTS: I'm available most days to play on your schedule! My homebrew: Whistlecoil & Silvertong's Mechanical Adventure Simulator (a one-shot carnival that can be canon in your campaign) Whistlecoil & Silvertong's as a campaign PvP Fight Night (I referee your grudge match or organize a tournament) Gladiator Arena (see how big a monster you can kill. Your choice of level) Official Modules: Lost Mine of Phandelver Phandelver & Below: Broken Obelisk Curse of Strahd Rime of the Frostmaiden If there's a different game you'd like me to run, let me know.

Creating your character
Please have a character ready on DND Beyond, or use one of my pregenerated characters. Let me know if you need help making one! Characters in this campaign have access to my books. We'll start at 1 and level up as we go.
The party is currently Level 2, with a Fighter, a Rogue, a Cleric, a Warlock, and a Sorcerer.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You'll need a microphone, free Discord account, and free DnDBeyond account. Camera is optional. Use your real dice or my digital ones. Optional: sign in at Owlbear Rodeo to unlock extra tools.
What Renzo brings to the table
My gaming style is lighthearted and low-stakes. The characters might not always have fun, but the players sure will! Players have full agency over their characters and can do anything that the Fates and the Rule of Cool allow. I use voices, custom maps, and music to help set my stage in the theater of your mind. Game start time is flexible; let me know if you want to change it!

How Renzo creates a safe table
We take bio/stress breaks as needed, especially at scene changes. Every session starts and ends with time for questions and concerns. We use X, N, and O cards as part of our Virtual Table Top, Owlbear Rodeo. They're part of the Rumble! extension. I keep a Lines, Veils, Stars, and Wishes document for each campaign that players can edit anonymously. My games NEVER include: Sexual assault Detailed, explicit torture or sex Player-on-player bigotry, bullying, or harassment
