About the adventure

The smell of cooking food, mead and the fireplace fill your nostrils as you enter. The sound and movements of elves, humans, tieflings, goliaths, dwarves, halflings, and many more fill the huge tavern. Yet, despite this, your eyes look to the huge stone well that dominates the scene. Sitting at a large table is the woman you are looking for. She was sipping wine and her perfect posture and a regal expression made her seem out of place. You pulled the note from your pouch, opened it and re-read it. “She will be waiting for you at the Yawning Portal in Waterdeep. Look for the regal lady in the blue and purple dress with the dark hair. She has a quest for you, which she will pay well. Return to her after the quest is complete, and your debt to me will be paid.” The signature was hardly legible but you knew the name all too well. Kregor Bloodworth.

About me

I have been playing RPG's since 1983. Started with D&D the Red Box and soon started playing Advanced D&D. By the time I started playing 2nd Edition D&D I was dipping my toes in a few other RPGs from TSR. Marvel Heroes, Star Frontiers and Gamma World. I took a break from role-playing for life stuff and board games, but when 3rd Edition D&D was released I jumped back and played a lot. During this time I also tried, Traveler 2000, Vampire, Spycraft, d20 Modern, Godlike, Mutants & Masterminds, Savage Worlds, Conan The RPG, Game of Thrones (Guardians of Order version), Cthulhu, Pathfinder, Song of Ice and Fire RPG, Star Wars (FFG), Firefly, Cypher System, Monte Cook's Arcana Evolved , I was the DM/GM for about 75% of these games as that is what I enjoy the most!

What Keith brings to the table

I will be using Foundry VTT with customerized maps and customized charcater tokens. I use ambient sounds. I have mods that animate the combat and spells We mostly follow the rules, but always keep in mind the Rule of Cool. There will be plenty of dungeon crawling with puzzles and traps.
