About the adventure
Join a world where every hunt ends at the cooking pot. A quiet rural village sits above a vast underground labyrinth filled with strange creatures, glowing ecosystems, and hidden cavern communities. For generations, powerful magic deep below has drawn dangerous beasts away from the surface, keeping the people safe. Now that magic is failing. With no standing army and no legendary heroes nearby, everyday villagers (farmers, bakers, crafters, and wanderers) must step forward, descend into the caverns, and restore the ancient protection before the surrounding wilderness becomes too dangerous to survive. Food is scarce, supplies are limited, and the deeper the heroes travel, the more dangerous the creatures become. Fortunately, the monsters of the caverns are not only terrifying threats... they’re also dinner. Hunting, experimenting with strange ingredients, and cooking wildly creative meals become core parts of survival, teamwork, and occasional culinary triumphs (or hilarious disasters). Along the way, you will: • Hunt bizarre and dangerous cave creatures • Cook monster meals that grant surprising benefits • Discover underground settlements, merchants, and expedition camps • Grow from ordinary townsfolk into legendary protectors Tone & Style Absurd • Comedic • Adventurous • Cozy-Dangerous • Lighthearted Heroism This campaign blends humor, exploration, and cinematic adventure. Monsters may be terrifying in battle and delicious at dinner. Strange underground cultures, traveling traders, cavern taverns, and unexpected friendships are all part of the journey. Touchstone inspirations: • Delicious in Dungeon • Monster Hunter • High-energy adventure anime Danger is real, but so is the joy of sharing a hard-earned meal after a very strange day underground.

About me
Matt here! I fell in love with tabletop role-playing games (TTRPGs) playing Dungeons & Dragons in 1989. I was eight years old, over at my friend's house, and their older brother ran the game. Though the game only lasted three weeks, I was hooked on the story, world-building, and absolute joy of the game. However, I couldn't find anyone to run e-games or be a Game Master. So, I accepted that role and turned as many friends I could into players, then began turning any players I could find into friends. My first love is the story and characters, and combat keeps it interesting. For a long time, a company called White Wolf made my favorite games. I ran those for years and gave up on D&D because most people I found at the time liked the rules more than the story, and I could never find people who enjoyed both. Then, Critical Role brought everyone out of the woodwork! After watching their streams along with Relics and Rarities, I started to explore D&D games again. And I couldn't be happier about this! About a year ago, I started making steps to turn my 30 years of experience and passion for D&D into a full-time, sustainable career. In one year, I found terrific players and, by the grace of God, have been able to become a full-time storyteller in the TTRPG space. See you at the table! I hope you will join the games and make amazing friends as we battle and work through fantasy life together.

What Matt brings to the table
I run energetic, welcoming tables focused on collaborative storytelling, cinematic encounters, and strong spotlight balance. Expect character voices, ambient music, flavorful worldbuilding, and encounters that reward creativity just as much as tactics. I’m a full-time professional GM with 2000+ sessions run, known for immersive campaigns, stable long-term groups, and tables where players quickly feel at home. I will provide the main Daggerheart rules through Demiplane.
