About the adventure
Step into the Forgotten Realms---where legends are written one roll at a time. In this story-driven adventure, you’ll join a party of heroes drawn to a frontier town full of mystery, danger, and opportunity. This game is for new players. You don’t need to know the rules, the lore, or even what “initiative” means. Your Dungeon Master will guide you step by step, explaining how the game works as you play. Expect a mix of thrilling combat, creative roleplay, and the occasional moment of chaos as you and your party learn to survive (and thrive) together. We will be running Lost Mine of Phandelver. Characters will start at Level 1 and progress through Level 5. Sessions run weekly for about 3-3.5 hours, with voice chat on Discord and gameplay on D&D Beyond’s Maps virtual tabletop. Between sessions, players can use Discord to chat, share theories, and even roleplay at their own pace.

About me
Ale! & well met! I look for character-driven storytelling that develops the adventuring party through narrative choices that matter. My games are heavy with tactical combat and social encounters, and I ensure that all characters enjoy the spotlight.
