About the Adventure

Welcome to THE GREAT KOBOLD CAPER, an adventure where YOU will play as the lovable ragtag group of Kobold scamps currently causing chaos! Set up a heist to steal the necessary goods, build traps to ward off no-good, goody-two shoe heroes, and complete the ritual by your beloved scaley sorceress!

The session will last 3 hours, and will take you and your squad through a heist, tower defense, and straight-up combat.

 

What if you’ve never played an RPG, what is it like?
Our games are player-driven, putting you and your character at the center of the plot. Your choices will decide the outcome: from heroic victory to an untimely end. We’re here to tell a great story that makes you feel like you’re in your favorite book or movie.

 

What do you need to do before the first session?

Upon sign up, we’ll connect and make sure you can begin fleshing out your character ideas, and that I can support you with questions about any of the tech programs. If necessary, I will provide pregenerated level five characters so you can simply sign up and play.

 

What does the GM provide?

The GM provides access to the PHB and other source materials.

Character Creation Guidelines:

Characters will be at level 5. We will use standard array or point buy during session zero to create our characters. If you don’t know what this is, that’s ok! I’ll help you figure all this out.

In a rare instance, your character does not need to be have good alignment – they just need to be loyal to each other and their scaled sorceress. Are you little chaotic gremlins with hearts of gold, or are utter nightmares condensed into a three-foot package. The choice is yours!

Who will like this game?

  1. Players brand new to table top roleplaying! This is a great first adventure as it has a fair amount of structure with leniency for player agency.
  2. Players who love pushing the red button and letting the intrusive thoughts win.
  3. Players who like to engage in planning for heists as well as setting traps and ambushes
  4. Working together with other players to solve problems, and have a great time in the process!

GM Details/Guidance:

This game includes typical fantasy themes that one may find in stories like Lord of the Rings. Themes of dark and light abound. Murder and violence in this context are found throughout.

An awesome introduction to DnD!

September 21, 2024

For a first-time player, John is an amazing DM. He is engaging, entertaining and helpful. He is very new-player friendly, so if this is your first time, don’t sweat it. He fosters a cohesive and fun environment. I would highly recommend any new player to join his sessions.

A great storyteller and DM!

August 25, 2024

I joined John’s Escape from Blood Manor one-shot and I had a great time! He was very kind and welcoming, and he was a fantastic DM. If you see a session offering that seems fun, whether you’re a first time player or an old hat at the game, I think you’d have fun at his (virtual) table!

Storytelling: John crafted a great story that highlighted the traits of our characters that we wanted to showcase. He kept the right mood throughout, which can be really challenging in horror-themed games, and his battles, puzzles, exploration, and interactions all fit well with the overall feel of the game. Huge props for that, as a horror vibe can be tough to maintain!

Technology/props: The maps were fantastic, his music selection was on point, and he used Fantasy Grounds (a virtual tabletop software with a free version) in a way that made everything easy and enjoyable.

Mastery of the game: John clearly knows the game very well and found creative ways to use the rules to move the story and setting forward in fun and sensible ways. He also shared a lot of helpful knowledge, easily explaining things that we players (from a beginner to an active member of one of his campaigns) had forgotten or needed clarity on.

A great intro to D&D

June 16, 2024

I played in a one-shot D&D session tailored to beginners, and John was an excellent teacher and DM. I asked him a million questions throughout the session, and he always provided clear, thorough responses. John is funny, patient, and so knowledgeable about D&D. I highly recommend him as DM!

For the record, had never played D&D beforehand and yet, John made learning incredibly simple! He is an exceptional storyteller and as DM has a real gift for teaching the fundamentals. His campaigns are immersive. Would encourage inquiring new players to check out his stuff. Can't miss!

I recently had the most amazing experience diving into the world of Dungeons and Dragons for the first time, and I owe it all to the fantastic Dungeon Master at the table. From the moment we began our adventure, I learned a lot about how to develop my character and backstory.

The Dungeon Master's guidance was invaluable and made the learning process incredibly smooth. He patiently explained how to work with each dice, helped me create my first character, and set the stage for an epic adventure. His passion for the game was evident, and his storytelling skills were truly impressive. I felt encouraged and supported throughout the entire game, and as a beginner, I never felt overwhelmed or lost.

I cannot recommend this Dungeons and Dragons experience enough to anyone who is new to the game or looking to explore the world of tabletop role-playing. It's an incredible journey of discovery, and with a DM as talented and supportive as this, you're guaranteed to have an unforgettable time. Five stars all the way!

John helped me troubleshoot my computer/connectivity issues and he answered all of my newbie questions about the game. His character voiceovers had our party laughing the whole way, even while we were getting pounded on by goblins. Start with John and you won’t be disappointed.

When I expressed interest in wanting to learn about D&D but not knowing where to start, John offered me the chance to watch his campaign to learn how the game worked; taking the time to answer any questions I had. It eventually lead to me joining said campaign and since then I've been having a wonderful time.

He's patient and open to hearing his player's ideas/reasons behind why we think our plan would work and if our idea doesn't work he takes the time to explain why. He also does a great job of making sure everyone is involved and has the option to do something. If they wish, all players will have the chance to be in the spotlight and get their chance to shine.

I can safely say John will make sure all his players are having a fun and enjoyable time in his campaigns; his storytelling and settings have yet to disappoint and I doubt they ever will.

I came into one of John’s campaigns relatively new to D&D and fresh out of a negative RPG experience. John seamlessly integrated me into the rest of the party and got me invested in the story, other PCs, and my own character instantly. I’d come in scared to voice when I was confused, but John patiently explained what was going on (several times, when needed) as I tried to figure out the nitty gritty of how D&D worked. He constantly checks in with his players and gives us tons of freedom to explore what we please. His stories are electrifying, his NPCs are diverse and wonderful, and his combats are incredibly dynamic. Absolutely the highlight of my week!

John has a talent for giving life to a setting and the people within them, encouraging players to think beyond themselves and really live into their characters and relationships. He knows exactly how to best challenge and highlight every player at the table, all while communicating openly and ensuring everyone is having a good time.

I came to our one shot with a goofball character concept and left mourning. Not just because some careful nudges on John's part let our party feel historied and dynamic in so short a span of time, but also because it was established as a lethal one shot beforehand and my character died horribly! (RIP Erastus Longaevus Aeternus)

It was unironically one of my favorite experiences with Dungeons and Dragons, and there is no doubt in my mind that John's future players will have unforgettable memories as well.

I joined one of John's campaigns as a completely new player, no idea about gameplay other than the things I picked up from Critical Role. He made sure I got time to familiarize myself with the game and the character I was playing.

He's welcomes creative ideas with skills, spells, character creation and conversation options and managed to somehow tailor-make an experience for everyone at the session! I later had the pleasure of joining a horror-themed one-shot he did and he made sure to check in with all players to see what their limits were and to make sure it would be fun for everyone.

the combat is always fairly balanced and even during times where the dice were completely against me, I left the session with a smile because it's always a good time.

Just typing this makes me want to create a new character. Hope we can roll again sometimes :)
