Greetings, fellow travelers, my name is Leland and I am a Storyteller and Game Master with experience in TTRPG's, Live Action Role Play and writing. Thanks so much for checking out my profile and considering me to be your GM: whether you are a beginner at sitting down at a TTRPG table, or the most grizzled of veterans pulled in for one more "last job" I look forward to making a memorable experience with you! For me the passion for gaming started back in jr. high, over twenty years ago. I loved how much more immersed and interactive a roleplaying game was compared to the board games and video games I grew up playing. The love for the hobby followed me into university where I created a school sponsored organization celebrating all types of gaming and dedicated to bringing together a community of folks passionate to engage! Since then, I've helped tables as a GM to develop that same community aspect. A place where you don't just show up and leave on time like some 9-5 job, you're here to make memories with some awesome players who love the game as much as you. No matter who you are or what you believe, let's have fun together and see our heroes in exciting action against mighty foes! Can't wait to see you at the table!
1. "Waterdeep by Night" A heist campaign centered around the City of Waterdeep, which will incorporate elements of Keys from the Golden Vault and Waterdeep: Dragon Heist and more. Fridays 830PM $18/weekly session, Free Session 0[Foundry VTT][Discord]
Sometimes bad guys make the best good guys...when the law is not enough to get justice that is where you and your crew come in. You will infiltrate high society galas, casinos rife with villainous scum, and prison cells at the farthest edges of civilization. Choose your roles: Mastermind, Brute, Safecracker, Grifter and pull together for an adventure to secure the most fabulous treasures and to quell the direst of risks!
This campaign begins with the party members brought in for questioning about a crime that you may or may not have any involvement in. From there the players will be drawn into a series of jobs that are outside of the purview, if not the reach of the City Watch. The jobs will get bigger, the payouts more juicy, but the farther up your crew goes - the farther the fall will prove to be.
What to Expect: - This is a City Sandbox game, using the City of Waterdeep as a homebase, with missions will take the crew across the world and beyond. Your crew will have its own HQ in Waterdeep where you will be able to launch downtime activities from between jobs, - This campaign will have elements from multiple published adventures, especially Keys from the Golden Vault and Waterdeep: Dragon Heist. It will also have many adjustments to that content, the setting and lore. Great for Forgotten Realms veterans or those new to the setting. - I want to everyone to enjoy the vibe of the game, the party and me as the Dungeon master. To that end Session 0 will be free to all players so that we can get to know each other at no cost.
2. Red Hand of Doom - An Army of Hobgoblins, led by a charismatic warlord claiming to be Tiamat's scion is marching on Elsir Vale. Can your party stop the invasion? Saturdays 830PM $18 Free Session 0[Foundry VTT][Discord]
Red Hand of Doom is a military sandbox campaign for a party of 3-6 PC's that will begin at 3rd level and end at 17th level or beyond. It centers around a region called the Elsir Vale, where the PC's become aware of an impending invasion by a horde of goblinoids, led by a warlord who is claiming to be a direct scion of the chromatic dragon goddess Tiamat. As the army approaches, the characters will have multiple opportunities to gather allies, save civilians and of course to slow and halt the foes' advance. Once they face off against the warlord himself, they will deal with the powers he serves, which may include the deity he claims to serve.
What to Expect: In addition to the "typical" D&D adventuring experience, this campaign will offer some heavy emphasis on Role-playing in order to gather allies and resources, and then using strategy and tactics to deploy those resources in a creative way. Another element of the campaign is the ticking clock of the army's approach, which will add suspense and tension as well as making the choices the PC's make even more important because time is the most important resource. The party will have an HQ where downtime actions can take place, and I will streamline time costs to make progress in deference to the time crunch of the campaign. There will be time allocated for interactions, personal goals, etc. apart from dealing with the "main plot."
3. Call from the Deep: Pick your Captain and gather the crew! Off of the Sword Coast pirates are bring assembled under one banner. Beneath the waves deep terrors awaken. Can your crew solve the mystery in time? Sundays 9pm $20/weekly session, with a Free Session 0[Foundry VTT][Discord]
Call from the Deep is a massive nautical sandbox campaign where your characters will form a crew to investigate a massive surge in piracy as hundreds of crews are being gathered under the banner of a single leader. At the same time creatures from under the surface of the seas are rising up as well, attacking ships and shore dwellers alike.
What to Expect:
Epic Nautical Exploration – Chart a course through perilous waters and forgotten isles.
Naval Combat – Engage in strategic ship-to-ship warfare and intense boarding actions.
Cosmic Horror – Confront the secrets and madness that lie in the deep.
Dynamic Storytelling – Every player choice affects the fate of the coast and the crew. Your ship will be your home base, HQ and Bastion with downtime provided for character interactions, crafting, etc.
4. Dungeons of Drakkenheim: A city exploration game of eldritch horror and faction intrigue amidst the ruins Wednesdays 8PM 19$/weekly session, with Free Session 0[Foundry VTT][Discord]
Drakkenheim is no more. Struck by a falling star, the city bathed in eldritch fire on that woeful eve. The tumultuous aftermath brought chaos, families torn asunder, and a kingdom shattered. Fifteen years later, monsters stalk the haunted streets of Drakkenheim. Caught amidst rival factions struggling to rule the rubble, a group of unlikely partners venture forth into the crumbling city in search of riches, renown, and revenge. In this campaign, first played on the Dungeon Dudes YouTube Channel, you play as an adventurer seeking to fulfill your own personal quest in this ruined city. This is an urban hex crawl focused on exploring a city after an apocalyptic event. It is also full of unique monsters, guarding an array of treasures that will pull you and your allies into tactical combat. Lastly it is also a social campaign, focused on making friends and foes with five different factions with their own plans for this ruined City. All the pillars of 5e D&D are well represented in this campaign, making it a phenomenal choice for veterans and first-timers alike. It also focuses heavily on your characters' choices and background to personalize the adventure. When you join this quest you will decide, once and for all, the Fate of Drakkenheim!
If you are a first timer or on the newish side for 5e do not hesitate to inquire - I have a background in teaching folks to play TTRPG's, 5e in particular

Had a few questions so just to clarify: all games are 2024 ruleset, include access to all published DND beyond content and use Foundry VTT
