About the adventure
The Adventure Begins… Gundren Rockseeker, a dwarven merchant and your close friend, has hired you for a simple job; escort a caravan to the frontier town of Phandalin. But the journey takes a deadly turn. Suddenly, you’re pulled into a web of forgotten lore, missing people, and a hidden mine with untold power. Goblins lurk in the forests. Spies walk in the daylight. And far beneath the mountains, something ancient stirs… What to expect: - Deep roleplay and immersive writing, with a story that puts your character's choices, goals, and growth in the spotlight - At least one post per day from me, with potentially more depending on availability - Art and visual aids to enhance your adventure

About me
As what I'm sure is quite the familiar story by now, I first starting playing D&D5e during the Covid-19 pandemic. At first, it was something that a few of my friends and I did to stay connected and pass the time, but it soon blossomed into a full-grown passion for me. Not long after that game ended, I found StartPlaying, and found an easy way to find games to play in and people to play with. Having played as a player for most of my time, I want to grow as a DM, so hopefully I can help other people looking to play find their outlet.

Creating your character
We will use D&D Beyond to create the character sheet. We will be using the 2024 rules update, and all official 1st-party classes, backgrounds, and species are allowed. Any 3rd-party/homebrew material is subject to approval We will start at Level 1, and will be using the Standard Array to determine stats (15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8) We can build your character during Session 0, or you can create one beforehand. It's up to you!
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You will need a Discord and D&D Beyond account.
What Evan brings to the table
I will provide access to all 1st-party content on D&D Beyond to help build your character. Upon joining the campaign, you will be invited to my Discord server where the game will take place. There will be sections for the game, for out-of-character chat, for maps/art, and battle maps to better visualize combat I will run the game Rules as Written, but there is always room for Rule of Cool if it makes sense and can be justified.
Homebrew rules
- Healing Potions: Bonus Action = Rolled HP / Action = Full Amount - Critical Hit: When rolling a Critical Hit on an attack, we will use max damage, in additional to another damage roll - Critical Success: When rolling a Natural 20 on a skill check, it is an automatic success - Desperate Measures: When you hit half-health or become "Bloodied", you will be able to make Desperate Measures, allowing you to mark off Death Saving Throws in exchange for the ability to push yourself beyond your normal limits

How Evan creates a safe table
At our Session 0, we will go over character creation and backstory, a brief explanation of this module, house rules for game, safety tools and their use, and anything else that may come up as we get the game ready. My number one priority is that you have a fun time playing and are comfortable
