About the adventure
The Adventurers' Guild is looking for new recruits! In this mini campaign, you start off as a simple recruit, looking for adventure. But as you progress session to session, you'll find that the life of an adventurer is full of peril and danger! Do you have what I takes? With clear objectives and individually themed scenarios, each session is tailored to a specific level starting at three and progressing to level seven. You'll encounter goblins, fey creatures, maybe even a dragon. . . . If you're new to D&D come learn how to play and get a taste of what it's like to progress into those prime middle levels. Or if you're a seasoned player, see what's new in the 5.5e rules or come try out that fun new class or that wacky multi-class combo you've always wanted to run! All are welcome at my table, where I aim to provide you, the player, a chance to escape and let your imagination run wild!

About me
I'm Chap, the Dungeon Master Dad. And yes, I am truly a dad and I love running adventures for players of all skill levels. My number one rule is: TTRPGs are a safe space. This is a place where you can be whoever you want and explore your imagination. There is no room for hate or discrimination at my table. I want my players to experience joy, freedom, laughter, and acceptance. As for my experience, I'm just starting out as a professional GM, but I've been running games for friends for more than three years. I'm most familiar with D&D 5e and 5e 2024, but I've also started to learn Daggerheart. My games are highly inspired by my love of fantasy, comics, science fiction, and Critical Role, as well as my time growing up in the 80s and 90s and my Filipino-American heritage. Having worked in book publishing and film, developing stories and rich characters is probably my deepest passion. And I love taking the characters and backstories my players create and working together to weave a fun, emotional, and thrilling tale. If all this seems cool with you then let's play.

Creating your character
I have premade characters to choose from or players can build characters before or at session 0, ideally in the Roll20 builder. Players can use D&D Beyond if they have the Beyond20 extension on their browser. Stats can be created using Point Buy or Rolled (Roll 4d6 drop the lowest), but I must see the rolls either in Roll20, D&D Beyond, or an image of IRL dice DM'ed to me. HP can be rolled or average, whichever is higher. Standard equipment to start, substitutes approved on request. Any home brew or 3rd party content not in my Roll20 game will need review.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Links to my Roll20 game, Discord server, and Monte Cook safety doc will be provided upon joining. You will need a Roll20 account and a Discord account to participate.
