About the adventure
Nothing ever happens in your hometown. Maybe a spat over apple prices. Nobody ever needed you to be a hero. That all changed the night the goblins came and took the town fairy. What started as a rescue mission through an ancient forest quickly turns into something much bigger. Stolen lockets, warring factions, evil plants. The more you find out, the clearer it becomes: someone has set something terrible in motion, and if you don't stop it, your hometown won't survive what's coming. The Garden of Death is a fun Nimble adventure with real stakes. You'll brawl your way through goblin caves, talk your way past creatures that probably want to kill you. Expect to meet some of the most memorable weirdos. It's the kind of game where a grumpy goblin chef might become your best ally, but only if you play your cards right. Your village is counting on you. No pressure, but there's nobody else.

About me
Hi! I’m Susann, a DM who first and foremost believes the best stories are the ones we build together. I’ve been DMing D&D 5e (2024) for over a year now and while I love a good plot twist as much as anyone, my true joy comes from facilitating stories rather than writing them. My goal is simple: portray the world that reacts to your choices, celebrates your chaos and gives your characters the adventures they deserve. In my in-person home game my PCs are exploring Gullet Cove as awakened animals (Animal Adventure Campaign Setting from Steamforge Games) and are facing all types of different challenges from evil Rat Kings looking to overthrow the city to trying to establish a downline in a very lucrative triangle of trust. You might have the pleasure of seeing one of my pets in the background of my webcam (yes, I like play with video on). I have two cats - who both only have one eye.

Creating your character
Character Creation is so fun in Nimble. Review all the 12 available classes and pick the one that excites you the most and then you just need to pick an ancestry and a background that will have the most important choices covered. You can review all this on https://nimblenomicon.online/ or https://www.nimbound.com/ if you want an intuitive character builder. We will make sure characters are created and reviewed by me before session 1, so that everything is ready in our VTT.
We currently have a halfling Cheat, a human Oathsworn and an elven Zephyr and a d All at level 3 still.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
We will use Discord for communication during sessions and for voice and video during the session. We use Owlbear Rodeo for our Virtual Tabletop. You don’t need to sign up for that. I will just share the link and we will be ready to go.
What Susann brings to the table
You will get familiar with how to play and enjoy Nimble in this mini campaign. We will focus on game play and make sure you are comfortable with the character sheet and learn the rules of Nimble. We will jump straight into the action, expect action-packed combat, dungeon exploration and NPC to engage with. I use a transcription bot so that we can get a session summary while being able to fully focus on our game.

Safety
How Susann creates a safe table
We will complete the Player Deck of Safety at the beginning of Session 1 to know what topics to avoid. During the session anyone can stop the session for any reason by saying Pause a minute and that will allow us to stop and address anything or just take a quick break before we return to the game.
