About the adventure
--- STORY ---- You had hoped for fame and status as an adventurer. You have saved whole villages, vanquished evil monsters and corrected more wrongs than a Goliath's spelling test. But no songs, poems or free drinks, you even have to pay to park your horse these days! So when you receive an invitation from Elrond the Entertainer to his annual "Big Bish Bash Bosh Party", you don't hesitate to RSVP! What a party it was to remember! Except your head is fuzzy on the details. Like, how did you get into this position? What are you wearing? More importantly... where's your sword? You wake up alone. You need your stuff, the exit and a cure for this hangover. You quickly realise this whole setup is much more than it seams. One hell of a morning, is going to become a B**ch of a day. --- GAMEPLAY --- You will start the game without your equipment and an impairment separate from your party members. The game takes you through uncovering secrets, recovering your items and some new ones. You will journey through 3 environments and multiple battles, meeting quirky NPC's, unique monsters, and wonderous items. All in the name of entertainment and ratings. Stay sharp, because only a few make it onto the next episode.

About me
I specialise in running Dungeons & Dragons adventures and I like to inject a bit of humour into them all. I follow the nr1 rule that "D&D is about having fun!" I have been doing fantasy games all my life and love making stories for others, and enjoy seeing my players interact. I like to get to know my players and their characters and tweek the story to give them something personal to chew on. For my homebrew adventures I like to use popular cultural references in my games, especially when naming monsters (like a quiz) and crazy NPCs. I use Discord, Owlbear Rhodeo and Theatre of the mind with some AI images to make the experience more immersive. I really like running Play-by-Post adventures as we get to know each other over a longer period of timme and on a daily basis. For me running games is like spending time with people who enjoy each others creativity.
