Probably been answered before but is there some specific Dnd campaign timmy is using? Never played it before but i'd like to give it a go since I really enjoyed their youtube series

He began with the DnD 5e starter kit, but he said in the latest stream that he isn't using any particular module anymore, and is homebrewing most the materials.
In my experience, this is how most starter kit experiences go, which is funny to me. I've seen The Lost Mines of Phandelver go in so many different directions over the years. It is almost always thrown away pretty quickly in favor of writing your own campaign.
Even when I ran it, I couldn't help by modify the crap out of it. I remember a ranger in my party wanted their pet to be a dragon, and they ended up fighting one. Instead of killing it, they tried to tame it. They were determined not to fight it, which could have led to a TPK. They got a nat20 trying to charm it (I forget exactly what skill they used, whether it was animal handling or intimidation or what, but a nat 20 is a nat 20). My solution was to have this dragon choose to accompany them of its own volition, but no one had any control over what it would do at any given moment. Eventually it left the party of its own accord, and while my archer was sad to see his friend go, he didn't feel like I was 'taking his dragon away', which was lucky, because that's exactly what I was doing.
It's an extremely flexible module, but I immediately recognized the beginning, and when Timmy began to go off book.
Seems like it’s the Lost Mines of Phandelver
cheers thats the one. so much reading lol, hoping I can stick through it to get a game going. I've got -20 in focusing on anything longer than a paragraph
