About the adventure
A lost mine awakens, evils emerge from the shadows, and your party becomes the only thing standing between a forgotten power and those who would abuse it. Navigate caves, trade routes, lost ruins, and a frontier mining town to rescue your employer, uncover secrets, and grow in power. Along the way, you'll discover the workings of a sinister villain who would kill to claim the Lost Mine and the forge of spells deep inside. Can you get there first and foil their plan? ~~~~~~~~~ This is a beginner-friendly campaign. I'm happy to help you learn the basics of D&D, play-by-post, and how to work some of the most popular Discord bots. Play-by-post Explanation: Play-by-post games are designed to fit around your real life commitments. There isn't a set session time. Instead, you can jump in and post whenever it's convenient for you throughout the day. The "schedule" listed on StartPlaying simply marks when your weekly payment is processed. It isn't the schedule for the game itself.

About me
I grew up in a place where telling stories around the campfire was a way of life, and now I bring that same spirit of adventure to my D&D tables. I had my "D&D awakening" during the pandemic, after discovering actual play podcasts. When I saw how much fun people could have with TTRPGs, I got hooked! Since then, I've been obsessed with telling amazing stories with new friends, first as a player, and now as a GM. I'd be thrilled to have you join me at the table; I'm ready to give you, and your characters, the adventure of a lifetime.

How Sooch creates a safe table
We will have a free session zero to discuss expectations and campaign tone. Each player will also fill out a consent in gaming form so I can be aware of any sensitive areas. My DMs are open whenever you have private concerns.
