About the adventure
Miner Briefing: * No former DRG or D&D experience required. Training included. * 10 Sessions. Each shift is 2-3 hours long. * Complete Main Objective each session, gain a level. * Complete Secondary Objective each session, gain an extra level. * All miners get 1 GP for every 1 lb of copper, silver, or gold brought back. The Guild may reward extra pay for other findings. * 10 days of Downtime between expeditions. * FREE Food, Drink, and Lodging provided by DRG. P.S. Always be ready for a fight. You never know what's down there. Guild-Mandated Spiel: DRG Origins is a 10-session long mini-campaign that is designed to take players from level 1 to level 10 or 20 based on their performance completing Objectives. Each 2-3 hour session contains a Main Objective and a Secondary objective. Each completed Objective grants a level-up at session's end. In addition to the Objective system, Miners are awarded GP for each pound of monetary material they bring home, and have 10 days of in-game downtime between each session to spend it on PHB equipment. Experience with Deep Rock Galactic or D&D are not required, though players who have both will likely get the most enjoyment out of this campaign. The Deep Rock Guild denies responsibility for any injuries or death that may occur during standard work hours, non-standard work hours, and off-duty hours. By signing below you acknowledge that in the event of your death, you may be replaced by another miner. FREE FOOD AND BEER! (imported to the Outpost every 10 days)

About me
Greetings adventurers! My name is LC, and I am an avid lover of board, video, and tabletop roleplaying games. My favorite aspect of being a Game Master is the same reason I got a Film degree and am writing my own book: I love a good story. Back in 2017, when I was first introduced to D&D, it was the unique storytelling potential of TTRPGs that hooked me in. The balance between a player's imagination, the mechanics of the game, and the roll of the dice is why I could never fudge a roll as a player or GM. I play fair because I believe it's this combination of factors conjoined with the personalities of players/characters that make these games perfect for lasting emotional investment, a powerful conduit for joy, and my ideal storytelling medium. Prior to joining StartPlaying, I was the Game Master of 2 weekly D&D campaigns and 1 monthly campaign. Each campaign was 2-3 years of incredible stories and fond memories shared by my players. In addition to those long-form games, over the past 7 years I've run more Oneshots than I can count in both 5.0e and 5.5e D&D. At this point, I know the core rules by heart, so I can focus on providing an enjoyable experience for everyone at the table without having to spend ages flipping through the rulebooks. My priority is to make sure everyone is having fun at the table, and we all walk away having had an experience to remember. So, whether you're a newbie, intermediate, or veteran of the world's greatest roleplaying game, I'm the DM for you.

What to expect
Preparing for the session
Links: Join my StartPlaying Discord and D&D Beyond Campaign via the link included on your confirmation page after signing up. VTT: Download Talespire Guest Edition (free) or use Talespire (paid) if you already have it. The software(s) can be found on Steam. I have purchased 7 seats so you can use the software for free if you don't already own it. Mental Prep: Be prepared for 3 hours of consecutive tabletop gaming each week.
What Leony (LC) brings to the table
Expect a couple hours of total dwarven chaos every week for 10 weeks. 1-2 levels gained at the end of each session. Check out my profile for my preferred GMing style.
Homebrew rules
Dwarven Courage: Every dwarf in the party gains Heroic Inspiration at the beginning of each session and whenever an Objective is completed. Passive Initiative: To streamline transitioning between exploration and frequent combats, Turn Order will be calculated passively rather than rolled. Your Initiative = 10 + your Initiative modifier + any additional bonuses (such as +5 if you would have Advantage on the roll).
