About the adventure
“Orcs and Goblin-folk been raiding tirelessly, leaving corpses behind and takin' all the loot. Bastards been ambushing with crossbows and wargs. Then there’s the Redbrands, ex-mercenaries and deserters shaking down good townsfolk. Now there’s even talk of a juvenile Green Dragon claiming a lair in them old ruins near Thundertree. Bad times indeed..” - an excerpt from a local miner’s journal Whether you are a first-time adventurer or a seasoned hero, this adventure balances memorable roleplay opportunities and exciting battles. As your Dungeon Master, I will guide you through a dynamic story where challenges and encounters will ensure every session is thrilling and rewarding.

About me
Well met! I’ve been GM-ing since 2019, my storytelling style tends to be gritty, character-driven fantasy with enough humor to bring out the occasional laugh. I draw inspiration from writers like Joe Abercrombie, George R. R. Martin, and Tolkien. I’m also influenced by video games such as The Witcher, Shadow of the Colossus, and Heroes of Might & Magic. At my table, player freedom is at the core of the experience. I enjoy it when players test the limits of my imagination and push the story in unforeseen directions. I tend to return the favor by placing players in situations where they have to improvise on the fly, which can be both challenging and rewarding. If you enjoy that type of challenge, you’ll likely have a good time at my table. My goal is always to create a vivid theater-of-the-mind experience where players can unleash their creativity and leave with unforgettable stories. I favor theater-of-the-mind GM-ing because I want to mimic the feeling of a real-life table as closely as possible.
