About the adventure
Our adventure begins just outside of Helm's Hold, a fortified city along the Sword Coast. You've been recruited to help restore a small town approximately a two-day ride down the High Road to its former glory. Unfortunately, many travelers and supply wagons have been attacked by unknown forces, making the very act of traveling to the town nigh-insurmountable. Of course, life has blessed you with gifts and talents that put you a step ahead of the common rabble. However, despite your remarkable abilities, your adventure will be filled with defeats as well as victories. Every step you take in this campaign will take you further away from the comforts and safety of stone walls and warm hearths, and closer to becoming a legend... This campaign kicks off with a mission in the frontier town of Phandelin and then opens up into the expansive sandbox world of Dungeons and Dragons. You'll encounter beloved adventures and uncover obscure locations long forgotten, tracing back to the first edition of the game. Click that join button and get ready to make your name known!

About me
I love creating exciting new experiences for my players and really pushing the bounds of their creativity through interesting storytelling, exploration, and combat. I've been running and playing games such as Daggerheart, Dungeons and Dragons(5e), Draw Steel, Pathfinder(2e), and Mothership for several years now. I enjoy introducing people to the hobby and as such, those who join up for my games are also entitled to off-table assistance regarding character creation, rules, in-game mechanics, or any other game related help at any time. So if you're interested in learning or playing any of those, please let me know. Everyone is welcome at my tables, so pull up a chair young and old, beginner and grognard alike. Let's tell a story.
View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
Characters will be created on DnDBeyond. Upon joining the campaign, you will be given access to all of the current character creation options, as well as the PHB and other sources that I have available. We will go over how the player characters are associated with each other, as well as character motivations and goals (at least the ones your character wants to be public) during session 0 of the campaign.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players will need to have a DnDBeyond account as well as a discord account to play. Both are absolutely free to create and can be done through the following links: DnDBeyond: https://www.dndbeyond.com Discord: https://discord.com
What JM_the_GM brings to the table
I strive to provide my players with a thoroughly enjoyable experience, featuring dynamic scenes I create using premium assets. Players are immersed in the animated maps, spells, and effects, as well as curated music and sound effects. I provide a relaxed, respectful place for my players to shake off the week and go crazy slinging spells, defeating ancient enemies, and making questionable life choices. If you have any questions whatsoever, please get in touch with me on Discord: JM_the_GM, and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
Homebrew rules
I generally play rules out of the book unless it makes the game more interesting (or awesome). These rules will be discussed with and decided on by players. I typically hold player enjoyment over what's written in a book, so long as the game remains mechanically sound.

How JM_the_GM creates a safe table
Everyone (18+) is welcome at my tables and has a right to be there! I utilize features such as digital X,N,O cards as well as an open-door policy to all of my players should a dilemma arise. I will also hang around at the end of each session to talk to my players and gather feedback (whenever permissible). All players at the table will be respectful to each other. Failure to do so will get you immediately barred from the table as well as any future event that I will be running. You are all adult humans, I expect you to conduct yourself as such. If a player is doing something to make you uncomfortable, please let me know immediately.
