About the adventure
“… we formed our conspiracy; and as we were serious, too, and meant business …” Bilbo Baggins is at it again, and he has invited you to join a group of adventurous hobbits, the Conspirators of the Red Book! In an effort to gather notes for his book, he has asked these friends, under the promise of payment and a bit of adventure, to help him confirm some important details about the history of the Shire and its people. Together you'll retrieve a map of the Shire sketched by none other than the Old Took himself, uncover the whereabouts of the lost club of the Bullroarer used to defend the Shire from goblins (and the invention of the game of golf!), track down the last of Gandalf's fireworks and more all the while doing your best not to run afoul of the Sheriffs of the Shire. 📖 Adventure with iconic characters and creatures from the works of Tolkien! 🌿 Enjoy the simple pleasures of hobbit life, such as smoking pipe weed, crafting songs and good food! 🗺️ Explore the four Farthings of the Shire, all the way from Bag End and Hobbiton in the west to Buckland and the Old Forest in the East! 🦶 Play as Hobbits whose children will go on to do extraordinary things, such as Drogo Baggins, Rory Brandibuck, and Esmeralda Took!

About me
Hailing from Edinburgh, Scotland with a background in creative arts and video game development. I have been passionate about ttrpgs for over a decade. There is a unique magic found in the collaborative storytelling games like D&D provide and it is my great joy to help facilitate that experience for you. Whether you are new to the hobby, an experienced player looking for a consistent group or a returning veteran of the old days I can't wait to roll the dice together!
