About the adventure
Ramisen is old, and he is dying. He is also the last remaining member of an ancient arcane order sworn to keep vigil over the Tomb of the Keeper. As an old family friend, he has asked you to enter the tomb in the foothills of the Desertsmouth Mountains on the southeastern edge of the great desert Anauroch. There, you must face the evil sealed inside and defeat once and for all, so the tomb need never be guarded again. He promises riches untold within the tomb, but also to empty the order's coffers for you upon your successful return. This is a one-shot adventure for a party of 5-6 level 11 characters, set in the Forgotten Realms. It will be combat heavy and roleplay lite. Combat will be tactical.

About me
I have been playing TTRPGs for about 35 years and running games for over 30 of those, starting with AD&D and dabbling with other systems (GURPS, Robotech, Shadowrun 2E, Pathfinder) before finally coming back to D&D 5E after a hiatus during COVID. I have a regular home game with the same group I've been playing with for nearly 20 years, but I have run games for several different groups during that time. I tend to stick to published material for my games, as I consider myself more of a storyteller than a composer of stories. As an accomplished vocalist, I am also experienced with using my voice as a tool, and I do try whenever possible to give distinct voices to the more significant characters I have to portray. My proudest moment as a GM was when I took the story and events of Baldur's Gate 2 and converted it to a tabletop version for D&D 3.5E as a passion project. That game ran for a little over 2 years, and was a great time for all.

How Matt Ramos creates a safe table
There will be a brief open discussion on Discord at the start of the session to discuss any triggers or anything else that might make a player uncomfortable. We will also take a 10-minute break partway through the session to address any issues (as well as other needs).
