About me
Hello, adventurers! Four years ago, I started running games. It was, without exception, the most crazy, bone-headed, upside-down decision I've ever made, and it changed my life forever. Helping groups of friends tell amazing stories about high adventure has been the absolute pleasure of a lifetime, and I only have more fun the more I do it. I intend to bring that same fun to your table! Whether you're interested in a tactically-demanding wargame where spacing and resource management hold the keys to success and defeat, or you're a group that prefers to develop grand tapestries of narrative where every character is a beloved friend or hated foe, I have plenty of experience and expertise to help you bring your dreams to life! If you seek a highly-personalized, highly-responsive game experience that feels like it was lovingly crafted just for you, I am more than happy to deliver! If you're more laid back, and just want an excuse to kill goblins with your friends, that's excellent also. Whatever way you play, I am here to facilitate your fun! I currently offer Pathfinder and Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition sessions, but am always expanding my repertoire. With premium accounts on Syrinscape, Roll20, and DnDBeyond, I'm a triple threat, able to provide an online gaming experience that is easier and more engaging than most in-person games. I bring voice acting, stage acting, and professional storytelling experience to every game I run, seeking to provide the immersion of a real, living world to all of my players. I've been running games for four years, and I've made some of my closest friends in the beautiful process of building fun together. I invite you to play, to laugh, and to tell stories with me, and together, we'll have more fun than you can imagine.

Creating your character
We'll be creating first-level characters together at the start of the campaign, so make sure you have an active DnDBeyond account! Character creation will largely happen as a group, but if you have a character concept you're excited about, feel free to bring that to the table!
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You'll need a microphone, a webcam, Zoom, and free accounts with DnDBeyond, Syrinscape, and Roll20. You don't need to have a mastery of the rules ahead of time, but this adventure will benefit from some basic understanding of D&D Fifth Edition.
What Paul the Glittering Spectacle brings to the table
I will be bringing the characters, funny voices, maps, tokens, and a rip-roaring good time.

How Paul the Glittering Spectacle creates a safe table
This adventure is designed to be tense, and includes elements of light horror and survival. We'll be using the Lines and Veils and XNO Card systems to ensure everyone's comfort at the table. You can expect a largely narrative-driven experience with a moderate focus on the rules!
