About the adventure

It is highly recommended that you play the first one shot in this series: The Sablewood Messengers. After your quest to deliver the package from the King to the Whitefire Arcanist, she has beseeched you to check on one of the Spires, and Spirekeeper within. She felt the magic fluctuating as you passed by it on your way to the Open Vale and has grown worried. As you traverse the forest towards this spire, the dangers within the deeper reaches become abundantly more clear, even to something that is supposedly protected. What might you find within this Spire of the Sablewood, and is it the only one being affected?

About me

I’ve been playing and DMing TTRPGs for over 16 years, and I love helping players create unforgettable stories together. My deepest experience is in Dungeons & Dragons 5e, but I’ve also run and played in a variety of systems including Daggerheart, Masks, D&D 4e, Epyllion, and more. At my table, the focus is on collaborative storytelling, immersive roleplay, and exciting encounters that challenge both characters and players in fun, memorable ways. Whether you’re a brand-new adventurer or a seasoned hero, I want to make sure everyone has a chance to shine. My games are inclusive, beginner-friendly, and LGBTQ+ friendly — I want players to feel welcome, comfortable, and celebrated for who they are. I love running for a mix of play styles, from tactical combat lovers to roleplay-heavy storytellers, and I tailor each game to the group’s vibe. If you’re looking for a DM who brings energy, flexibility, and a love of cinematic storytelling, I’d be excited to roll some dice with you!
