Newbie Friendly Mini-Campaign (4-5 sessions) w/ Paul

Campaign: Adventure Staffing Solutions Inc.
Adventure: The Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh
Setting: Forgotten Realms

Adventure Staffing Solutions (ASS Inc.), the multiverse's premier temporary adventuring agency, has an exciting opportunity for brave adventurers like you!

A young couple has recently inherited an old house in Saltmarsh, eager to move in but hindered by unsettling reports of ghostly screams, eerie lights, and haunting apparitions. The locals they hired to renovate the place refuse to go near it, let alone begin work. Are you courageous enough to uncover the truth and restore peace to the troubled estate?

Who are you? A motley crew of adventurers that have been working together for the odd job here and there. You are either lawful or chaotic good. For a table with new players or new-to-each-other players it is best for all characters to be good aligned.

Character Creation. We will follow Adventure League rules for character creation.

• If you already have a level 1 "Adventure League Legal" character, then please bring it along.
• I hold monthly character creation sessions. Join us to make your character. The next one before the mini-campaign is May 4th.
• I will also have pre-generated characters if needed.

Your DM. Showing up to a Meetup event where you don't know anyone can be a lil scary. If you'd like to get to know the DM a little, I am a 44 year old data nerd that got into DnD because of a TikTok. I am from the Midwest but moved out here for the clouds and the rain (not joking). I will be at the event 30 minutes ahead of time if you'd like to stop by before everyone else shows up.

You Meet in a Tavern. We will be meeting at the McMenamins Chapel Pub in north Portland.

Seats at the table. Each session is $20.
