About the adventure
A combat heavy campaign where you fight off many threats in, around and Below Phandalin. Starts off as a very typical D&D campaign that reaches into unseen horrors, evil fanatics and malevolent elder entities. There are times combat will have you outnumbered with your backs against the wall but your strength will greatly overpower your foes as you become true heroes in Phandalin.

About me
I have been playing Tabletop games since I was 13 which was over 20 years ago. I do this a lot as a hobby and a side gig to help with the cost of DND. My games are designed for players who want to play with the same people every week to build a memorable story together, rather than constantly starting over by joining the next free game pops up. If you want to journey through a long-term official D&D campaign and experience it the way it was meant to played, then join us.

Creating your character
We will communicate over discord or startplaying alone or with the party. We will use only official 2024 and 2014 content only. No 3rd party content unless approved. Fixed HP Standard array or Point Buy. Everyone's level will start at 1 but level 2 and 3 advancement will be very quick.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players will need discord. A computer, not Macs or mobile devices. Campaign will be ran using Forge a webservice with Foundry VTT.
What Dragonborn brings to the table
Combat at times will either be simple or may provide tactical placement to avoid getting surrounded from enemies. Perhaps retreating to funnel enemies or of course just a good open area combat. I stick mainly as a RAW DM but do allow Rule of cool sometimes.
Homebrew rules
Maximized Crit Deal Max damage with your hit and then roll the additional dice Spell Scrolls Anyone can use using spell scrolls. If you can not cast a spell normally, when you use a spell scroll, you have to roll to cast that spell using your spellcasting modifier with the DC being 10+ the leveled spell. Otherwise you fail and on a result less than 10 it is consumed. No Flanking.

How Dragonborn creates a safe table
Session 0 is how we will go over what you are okay and against. This is a module campaign. It does include underdark threats but we will go over any such issues during session 0 but of course players can contact me at any time.
