About the adventure

A simple journey to the frontier town of Phandalin quickly turns into something far more dangerous. Goblins stalk the roads, old ruins hide forgotten secrets, and rumors speak of a legendary mine lost for generations. What begins as a mission to escort a wagon soon draws you into a web of bandits, monsters, ancient magic, and a mystery that reaches far beyond the town itself. The wilderness offers fortune to those brave enough to claim it, but every trail seems to lead deeper into danger. Somewhere beneath the mountains, an ancient legacy waits to be rediscovered—and others are willing to kill to find it first. ¿Will you uncover the Lost Mine of Phandelver, or become another forgotten name along the road?

About me

Hi! I’m Zojak, bilingual GM (English & Spanish) and founder of Hidden Tavern. I’ve been running roleplaying games for over 10 years, from official campaigns to homebrew adventures. I love crafting immersive, dynamic, and player-driven experiences—and yes, GMing is my full-time passion. My goal is simple: create memorable sessions where players feel engaged, challenged, and excited to return every week. I enjoy running games for both beginners and veterans, and I’m always happy to help new players learn the system in a relaxed, welcoming environment. If you value consistency, communication, and cinematic storytelling that respects player agency, my table is built for you.
