About me
I have been consistently running reasonably priced weekly D&D 5E sessions (all set in the 5th Age multiverse shared setting) for over 3 years now. In each game, the players' characters drive the story, and experience the 5th Age universe shared by all my groups at a time where momentous events are occurring. Their actions can resonate and change the events around them, as well as affect what the other groups may be exposed to. I maintain a detailed rules wiki to make sure that all characters' action resolutions are resolved the same way. The home rules we use emphasize grits, tactics and a bit of medieval realism . There is no better feelings than those of players overcoming challenges together with creative solutions done within the rules and that will generate shared moments they will remember forever! In all these games, I want my players to build up their characters to reach level 20 and beyond and make their name as famous as those of Drizzt, Catti-Brie, Tasha, Elminster or Bryce Feelid! The 5th Age awaits for a new generation of heroes!

Creating your character
Our session zero must be done and your character should be created before the start of your first session, to respect the other players' gaming time. Session zero allows us to make sure the tech works for you, troubleshoot any issues, do a dry run of using the online game table, and discuss details of your character's background. It usually takes one hour or so (free of charges). Character creation use the standard array generation method. All races and classes in official 5E content is allowed. You can read more about the character building rules on my wiki at https://homerules.obsidianportal.com/wikis/character-building
New characters start at level 10 At the time of the Devastation of Waterdeep, the heroes help refugees from the village of Greenrest settle into the caves of Chaos, a complex of caves that the Lunar Vanguard has already cleared out in the Dessarin Hills. They discover the caves are linked to ruins of an old dwarven Kingdom of the Second Age, the Kingdom of Belsimer.

How DMGrisix creates a safe table
Note that all my groups are playing in the same universe, defined by the 5th Age moniker. When a character is created in this universe, the player will chose how to make them affect the world around for as long as they keep playing their characters. A character will become a NPC with the history they have played if a player decides to abandon their character or leave the campaign. Characters are not dropped in randomly in the middle of dungeons and I do not do one-off games in that context, I only run games connected to the 5th Age campaign. The groups may be in different worlds, planes or timelines but they all exist within the same multiverse, and follow all the same rules, both for building their characters and for playing the game. Read my wiki page for to learn more about my DMing style https://homerules.obsidianportal.com/wiki_pages/introduction I use the TTRPG Safety Toolkit (https://twitter.com/TTRPGSafetyKit) during my games.
