About the adventure

Take your first steps into the world of Dungeons and Dragons! You have been hired by the castellan of the Keep on the Borderlands to track down thieves who stole the Bowl of Plenty. This large silver bowl was a gift to the keep, said to bring good fortune to anyone who takes a meal from it. You’ve followed the trail of the thieves, questioning travelers who saw the thieves leave the village and head toward a group of hills that are home to what are locally known as the “Caves of Chaos!” 📝 The Characters You will take on the role of an adventuring character: a hero with skill and knowledge and sometimes magic that lets them overcome challenges and achieve greatness! ⚔️The Adventure By shining a light or peering into the cave entrance, you will see a tunnel that goes deeper into into the hillside and curves down and out of sight. Explore this introductory dungeon and do battle with goblins, bandits and more! 🎲The Game You will become familiar with your characters and the basics of the rules as the adventure unfolds. Heroes will have to use wits, skill, and determination to overcome the obstacles they face but most importantly, have fun!

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!
