Joining an ongoing campaign: For players coming into an ongoing campaign, we can have a conference call before your first session. I will catch you up on relevant events, make sure I understand your character, work to integrate you in the story with your chosen background. It's really important to me that players understand the game and can contribute to the table right away. Don't feel like you'd be joining a moving train, I will stop the train and pick you up so that you can be introduced organically.

Learn to Play D&D | The Lost Mines of Phandelver (Wednesdays 7PM Central Europe)
"We're not so much treasure hunters... more like treasure protectors." - Gundren Rockseeker
The job is simple, escort supplies to Phandalin and meeting Gundren Rockseeker there to get paid. At least that's the plan, but the word in the streets of Neverwinter say that nothing is that simple when it comes to the Rockseeker brothers.
Gundren says "this time it's the real deal" and that he "really found the lost Forge of Spells". His intentions are good, but the dwarf is prone to exaggerating. Hey, at least you can make some easy gold escorting a mule to a town in the middle of nowhere!
🆕- Never played? No problem! We learn as we go.
🦶- Race to find the Forge, you're not the only one looking for it.
💣- No plan survives contact with the enemy. Expect chaos and randomness.
⁉- Your choices shape the story.
🛡 - A safe, welcoming environment to all people. Session zero and safety tools.
👮♂️ - A strict "no harassment" policy and robust table etiquette properly enforced.
🎤 - Open channel for communication with me. Quick response and transparent feedback.
This short campaign goes from levels 1 to 5, lasting from 9 to 12 session (3 months of gameplay). It is a classic D&D adventure, with elements of combat, role-play and exploration balanced to provide the ideal introductory experience to new D&D and TTRPG players. The central hub of your quests will be the town of Phandalin, recently revived by settlers looking to make a living near the Sword Mountains. Engage in a mystery-driven plot to uncover an ancient location lost to history. Collaborate with friendly NPCs, form connections, uncover betrayals, gather allies and make enemies as you search for the much coveted Forge of Spells!
Slots: 5 available (out of 5) System Used: D&D 5e Style: Voice, video optional Session Duration: 3 to 3.5 hours Price: $20 per person per session (paid via the SPG site linked below, you can skip sessions you miss up to 24h before the game) Schedule: Every Wednesday at 7:00 PM GMT+2 (Session Zero planned for April 5th)
Requirements: Using Foundry VTT hosted on Cloud (you don't need to have it, you open on your internet browser). Must be 18+ years old. Players must have a stable internet connection, a PC or Laptop with a chrome based browser (preferably google chrome) capable of handling image, audio and video streaming for 3 hours. A good microphone and headset, a quiet place where you can focus without background noise, camera is optional. Make sure you have a Discord account for voice and overall communication.

Dragonlance: Shadow of the Dragon Queen (Sundays 7PM Central Europe time)
Be a warrior in a garden, it beats being a gardener in a war! Unless you're a druid.
🐲 - There be dragons!
🧙♂️ - Low fantasy... but not so low fantasy that you don't have magic!
🌞 - Gods of Good, Neutrality and Evil... Deux Vault!
🏹 - Battle Scenes, using MCDM's Kingdoms and Warfare rules!
I will be using heavy knowledge of the older setting books (Mainly 3.5 Dragonlance Campaign setting) to modify and flesh out this module. It is important to do justice to the incredible world of Krynn. Most house-rules and adaptations will be done with that intention.
My take on Dragonlance: Shadow of the Dragon Queen goes from levels 2 to 11 (roughly 35 to 40 weekly sessions), and it is not for the faint of heart. I normally increase the difficulty of encounters, change monsters to be Action Oriented and customize everything to fit the narrative mood.
Slots: 2 available (out of 5) System Used: D&D 5e Style: Voice, video optional Session Duration: 3 to 3.5 hours Price: $25 per person per session (paid via the SPG site linked below, you can skip sessions you miss up to 24h before the game) Schedule: Every Sunday at 7:00 PM GMT+1.

A new one-shot is available for this monday, August 16th! If you wish to have some D&D fun and check if you enjoy my DMing style, this is your chance for it. Details at the original post above.
TOMB OF THE BLACK SUN (ONE SHOT)
"You have heard of an ancient prophecy that foresees the Black Sun's rise in the near future. An ancient evil emperor who ruled the land millenia ago. Compelled to crush this evil before it has its chance to spread its malice on the world, you and your allies travel into the desert to find the tomb and destroy the Black Sun where he lies."

Reserve your spot by subscribing to my lowest tier on patreon (only $3) and we can have a call to get you up to speed on everything, and make your character!

ICEWIND DALE: RIME OF THE FROSTMAIDEN (Beginner Friendly, level 1 to 11)
"Icewind Dale has become trapped in a perpetual winter. Ferocious blizzards make the mountain pass through the Spine of the World exceedingly treacherous, and this land has not felt the warmth of the sun in over two years. In fact, the sun no longer appears above the mountains, not even in what should be the height of summer.
In this frozen tundra, darkness and bitter cold reign as king and queen. Dalefolk live in a scattering of settlements known as Ten-Towns. The drop-off in caravans coming from the south and travel between settlements in this never-ending winter has left everyone feeling isolated.
For adventurers such as yourselves, Ten-Towns is a place to test one's mettle and, in the spirit of heroes who have come before, leave one's mark on this frigid, blighted land."
Date: Weekly. Tuesday or Thursday (to be agreed on), 19:00 (7PM) Central Europe Time (GMT+2). Duration: Between 3 and 3:30 hours per session. Campaign should last for 25 to 30 sessions (5 to 7 months). System: D&D 5E Platforms: Foundry VTT hosted on Forge, discord. D&D beyond to make your character (I can share my books). Paid: Yes, $11 ( + VAT) per person per session via Patreon. ($44 per person paid upfront for the entire month) Requirements: Being over 18. Solid internet, decent PC or Laptop with a chrome based browser. Good microphone. Mood and Setting: Forgotten Realms, Sword Coast, Adventure, Low Levels, High Fantasy, Exploration. Slots: 0 / 5 (Session zero will happen when we have at least 3 players)
-- CHARACTER INFO --- Starting character Level: 1 Attributes: Point Buy (27 points). HP: Average. Feats: Yes Multiclassing: Yes Flanking: No Tasha's ancestry rules: No, but subclasses yes. Races allowed: All except Eberron or Ravnica. Basic PHB encouraged, especially for beginners. Equipment: Starting equipment for your class.
I would like to get into this game. You can message me on discord at Blinny#5854
As you can see above, I have some people interested in the Rime of the Frostmaiden campaign. At this point, the day of the week is yet not decided. Coming in now gives you the chance to influence this decision for the best day available for you, and I will build the table around that.
I also still have spots at the one-shot on Monday, Tomb of the Blacksun.
Soon I will have a youtube video with some sections of my games so you can judge if my style is for you or not. Stay tuned!
The day for a second LMoP table has been defined as a Friday, and we already have 2 players (First post updated to reflect it).
If you are interested and available to play every Friday at 20:00 (8PM) GMT+2 please contact me here or on Discord and join the Friday table. Session zero will be next Friday and it's free. Meet your fellow party members as well as myself and decide if this game is for you or not.
Also, don't forget the one-shot this Monday. If you feel like playing a quick game and testing some crazy level 8 characters this may be for you.
The RoTFM campaign now has 2 people and is locked to Thursday at 19:00 GMT+2 (main thread updated to reflect this). Come in while there are still spots. Session zero is scheduled for August 19th.
The first session of the Sunday LMoP last night was a blast! There are still spots on the Friday game, and the one shot TONIGHT. Reserve your seat if interested.
That's great! I sent you a friend request on Discord so we can talk.
To everyone looking here, we just had a one shot Tomb of the Black sun today and it was a blast. I will run that one shot soon again, but for now it's out of the table for a while.
Eirestra has joined us! Welcome to the fold! This means the Friday table of Lost Mines is on! With 3 players I can already run the game (main thread updated to reflect it).
I am still recruiting up to 2 more players for Friday, and the Thursday Rime of the Frostmaiden game needs only a single player to be active! Let me know if you want to join any of them.
The LMoP session zero for Friday is scheduled, players are already creating characters and socializing, joining Foundry and getting use to the platforms! We still have 2 more spots if anyone wants to join.
The RoTFM table still has 2 very commited players, but without a third it is likely we will push tomorrow's session zero to next Thursday. If you are interested in that campaign and want to be the 3rd member just contact me!
SPG site is having an event to teach people to play D&D, tomorrow I will setup a one-shot with that purpose. It will be on Tuesday or Wednesday next week, so stay tuned if you are a beginner and you want to learn but don't feel like commiting to a campaign!
Original thread has been updated to showcase the 1 shot for beginners next Tuesday! Link to the SPG game will be up soon so you can reserve your seats, but you can already message me on Discord and reserve your spot.
Today's session zero was pushed to the 27th because one of the members can't come. We will begin this campaign on the first Friday of September. There is still time to join!
