About the adventure
We'll be doing a series of 10 one shots all on a theme of the forest, the desert, or the seaside (we'll decide together) all from the One Show Wonders books! These are very simple and straightforward adventures that are also relatively short. This means they are also great for new players! So if you've wanted to jump into D&D but wanted to start with something a little less...uh...heroic, these might be a great place to begin your adventuring career! There is definitely some more heroic and dangerous themes by the end, but overall they are pretty easygoing. Can't wait to see you at the table!

About me
Hey there, I'm Gnomes, and I'm super stoked you're checking out my page! I've been a DM for several years now, and honestly, it's one of my absolute favorite things to do. There's just something magical about bringing a world to life and seeing players dive into the adventure. While I definitely believe in the importance of the rules to provide structure, I also think the best D&D moments come from letting your imagination run wild. So, expect a game where the rules serve the story, not the other way around. For me, telling a good, engaging story is key, and I love weaving narratives that will keep you on the edge of your seat and maybe even tug at your heartstrings a little. Whether you're a seasoned adventurer or brand new to the world of tabletop roleplaying, I'm always happy to have you at my table. I genuinely enjoy teaching the ropes and helping new players discover the joy of D&D. So, if you're looking for a fun, collaborative, and story-driven experience, let's roll some dice together!

Creating your character
- Level 20 - 2024 rules - Point buy or Standard Array for stats - Core + Expanded rules only (Artificer okay) - No 3rd party content - Multiclassing is fine - Magic items and equipment will be discussed during session 0
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Make sure you have an active discord and DnDBeyond account. You need a stable internet connection and working microphone (cameras are always optional) Prepare to be railroaded (gently). These are one shots with a very definite objective and you will be expected to stick to that objective. Creative solutions are welcome, but may not be fully explored in order to complete each session on time. A positive, collaborative attitude!
What Gnomes brings to the table
I run a pretty Rules-as-Written table, but still try and allow for cool things when it's reasonable I use Fantasy+ for background/ambient music and battle music I always try to bring fun, challenging encounters and memorable story elements!

Safety
How Gnomes creates a safe table
I have an open door policy. While we'll go over expectations during Session 0, if anything ever does bother you, from game content or other players (or even me!) just get my attention somehow and we'll figure it out ASAP.
