About the adventure
WELCOME TO THE GREAT GOBLIN GUNK-OFF! The throne of the Fartknocker Tribe is cold, empty, and smells faintly of wet dog. Boss Agnes is dead, flattened by a falling stalactite during her own birthday party, and according to ancient (and very messy) tradition, the next Boss must be chosen by a series of high-stakes, low-hygiene trials. You are a scrawny, ambitious, and exceptionally greasy level-one goblin rogue, and tonight is your night to shine. Or at least, your night to be slightly less squashed than the other guy. The Setting: Fartknocker Cavern Deep beneath the earth lies a warren like no other. Fartknocker Cavern is a sprawling labyrinth of damp tunnels, bioluminescent fungi, and "gently used" treasure. It is a place where a rusted spoon is a deadly weapon and a pile of bat guano is a comfortable bed. The air is thick with the smell of roasted giant rat and the sounds of echoing flatulence (which the tribe considers a sacred musical form). From the Feasting Pit to the Hall of Echoing Flatulence, every corner of this cave is designed to test your grit, your gunk, and your ability to cheat without getting caught. Who is this for: New Players: This is the perfect "Intro to D&D" experience. You don't need to know 300 pages of rules; you just need to know how to roll a d20 and act like a gremlin. Veterans: Tired of being the "Chosen One"? Come be a "No One." It’s incredibly cathartic to spend four hours worrying more about a stolen sandwich than a world-ending dragon. Fans of "Goblins": If you love Jim Henson’s Labyrinth, Gremlins, or just making squelching noises at the table, you have found your tribe. The Crown of Jaggid Rockz is waiting. Are you goblin enough to take it?

About me
"Never let the truth get in the way of a good story." I love fun. And roleplaying games. And cheese. And horror! I'm a professional "Learn To Play" DM, artist & writer, that enjoys teaching beginners how to play these games. I love writing and collaborative storytelling in all its forms. I use horror as a tool for creating fun and escaping reality for a few hours. I'm a professional storyteller in all its forms: writing books, ttrpg adventures, short stories, novels, and TV shows. Roll20 and Discord are my favorite replacements for in-person gaming. I live on a small island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, so that makes in person gaming difficult these days. So, I invested a ton of time, energy, art, writing, and creative juice to improve my Virtual DM game. I am one of the best Professional DMs you will ever encounter and have over 40 years' experience (I'm older than dirt lol). Most of my players are LGBQT and women, so we respect consent and are kind to all who play. No racism, transphobia, misogyny, or homophobia allowed. I want this to be a fun safe place for everyone. My favorite game systems are Call of Cthulhu 7th ed, D&D 5e (2014), Pathfinder 2nd ed, Cyberpunk Red, and Shadowrun 5th ed. I live in the Azores, Portugal on Sao Miguel Island. It's the Hawaii of Europe and an awesome place to live. I reside here with my family, chickens, dogs and cats.
