This one-shot is designed for 3-6 first level adventurers, who will delve deep into the haunted tomb of the Iron King. Please be aware this game will use the vanilla Dungeons & Dragons 5e (2014) rules. This is a Learn To Play (LTP), so don’t worry if you have no experience; I will be going over the rules, dice, and more!
Please note that communication regarding the game will be via email.
Welcome, adventurer, and thanks for visiting! I’m The Painted Bugbear, or better known as Al! I’ve been playing Dungeons & Dragons 5e since 2014 and started as a Dungeon Master in 2015, slowly expanding into other games such as Monster of the Week, 10 Candles, and Perils & Princesses, as well as some zanier ones like Cracker Barrel Has Fallen, Goblin Prom, and 3 Raccoons in a Trenchcoat! I’ve also served as a professional Game Master at Gen Con since 2025!
I love crafting stories and telling tales with others while being goofy and having fun, and I hope to bring that energy to your table! I pride myself in providing an engaging and entertaining experience, especially for those that are new to tabletop games, so please don’t hesitate to jump in if you’ve never played before. I can offer several games ranging from one-shots to full campaigns!
Diversity, equity, and inclusion are important to me in my stories and at my table, meaning that I will make sure to do my best to provide a comfortable setting for all in attendance and will not tolerate discrimination. I also do not allow generative artificial intelligence at my table; if you need assistance coming up with a backstory or character art, please feel free to reach out to me rather than a bot!
