About the adventure
This campaign is the perfect introduction to Dungeons & Dragons. We'll experience a mix of classic fantasy tropes: investigating a friendly town with secrets, exploring wild locations, negotiating (or fighting!) with colorful NPCs, and delving into a deadly dungeon. The story offers a clear path but gives you the freedom to tackle problems your way. Whether you're a brand-new player taking your first steps or a veteran looking for a classic, character-driven tale, this adventure has something for you. Overview: Welcome to the Sword Coast, a land of opportunity and danger! Your journey begins on the high road, but a turn of events will lead you to the rough-and-tumble settlement of Phandalin and into the heart of a forgotten mystery.

About me
Hello! I'm Antonio, a computer scientist from Spain that loves playing TTRPGs. I have been GM-ing since 2017 for my friends and family, introducing new players to the game systems that I know and trying to create great collaborative experiences with them! I love bringing new players to the hobby, seeing how they experience this medium for the first time and fall in love with it. I also really enjoy long campaigns with experienced players, seeing how they flesh out their characters both narratively and mechanically. So, which kind of player are you?

Creating your character
The characters will be created during the free session 0 so you can communicate with each other to create a team that is balanced and fun to play! We will be using standard array and the 2024 Player's Handbook for the character creation, so any option in there is allowed. Feel free to think of several character options before the session 0, so we can workshop together as a team what fits best for the adventure.

Safety
How Antonio @ The Dice Hall creates a safe table
Before the first session I will send all players privately the Monte Cook RPG Consent Checklist, then I will make a master list for everyone to see the lines we can and can't cross. I keep an Open Door policy, if at any moment you feel you need to walk out for some time you are encouraged to do so! I just ask to be informed when this happens so we can catch you up to speed when you return. The X, N and O system will be used by typing in the Foundry chat, either public for all to see or just as a GM private message.
