Castle In the Sky! Any Experience Level Welcome!
About the adventure
A mysterious castle floats high above the land, emanating strange magics into the land and trailing behind it a flock of large, winged creatures that are attacking & killing the local denizens. Our adventurers must make their way up to the castle, climbing the roots that dangle from beneath it and figure out how to stop the winged beast's attacks before they cause even more harm. This is a fantasy, one-shot, 5th level adventure for D&D 5e that should last for 1-3 sessions depending on session length and progression rate. Any and all levels of experience are welcome to join. This will be a mix of Roleplay, Exploration, and Combat with great opportunities for each.

About me
Hello Adventurers! My name is Ryan and I am so excited to DM for you all. I am a Dungeon Master for D&D 5e and have over 10 years of experience with running and hosting my own D&D games. I love creating new worlds and experiences for my players to enjoy and grow with me, doing my best to make everything from storytelling & roleplaying to actual worldbuilding a cooperative experience. That's really why I started wanting to start hosting D&D games here in the first place. I want everyone to have the opportunity to play D&D, no matter who they are, and since I love being a DM and making the stories instead of playing through them, I thought it fit perfectly. I will never turn anyone away from my table for how they look, present themselves, their orientations, or otherwise. My table is a safe space for everyone involved and I will do whatever is necessary to maintain that. Ultimately, I just want everyone to have a good time and I look forward to telling new stories and creating vast new lands with you all!

Ryan is a truly amazing Dm. He embraces what I love about dnd, doing what's fun and let my character be the absolute fool he is, while still making sure we got things done. He does switch a few things up for the players benefit, critical hits being the main one, and boy does it help. Highly recommend playing a game with him

Definitely big on lore of the world. Not in the bad “here’s a 20 minute unskipable ramble about the importance of the Elven soup spoon” way but the good “Hey what’s this thing about” and him having an answer for it right off that makes sense way.

Ryan knows the rules extremely well and will help explain them for beginners. There are many opportunities to get involved and he let's the characters (and players ) have fun.

Ryan has a great love for D&D and does his best to bring that love forth in each of his players. He knows the rules very well and is always willing to explain an unfamiliar concept. He also works with his players to create an optimized and fun character for them to play. His sessions can range from silly character antics to serious in-depth roleplay, providing moments for each player to enjoy.
Character creation
Creating your character
If anyone wants to make a character beforehand, I'd be happy to sit down before the session and make one with you. If not, I will have premade characters ready for anyone who wants to simply show up and play! I prefer story over power when it comes to a character so I like to steer away from power/meta-gaming. Also, I love to reward inspiration for good storytelling or RP, so go ahead, give that character a flaw or three!
What to expect
Preparing for the session
If everyone could please have access to a working, decent quality microphone and if possible, a webcam, that would be great. Don't worry about getting a webcam if you don't already have one. Please feel free to use your own dice! If you don't have any, then you can just use a dice roller app or the roller on Roll20 for the games. If you want to print out your sheet that is perfectly fine and I will be happy to help with putting it in a pdf and formatting it for you. Don't worry if you don't know the ins and outs of the game, I am here to help and guide you along so that this is the most fun possible.
What Ryan M. brings to the table
I will bring with me everything that I know to bring. I know D&D 5e rules and spells like the back of my hand and have the resources necessary to check myself on all of them. I have PDFs of fillable character sheets and online supplements to share. I will also bring supplemental handouts and item cards so that you know what all of your items do. I have a plethora of tokens for Roll20 and have a token editor that is free and great to use. There are also multiple, small quality of life things that I do/bring with me so that everyone can just focus on the game and have fun.

Safety
How Ryan M. creates a safe table
Players can expect a balance of Exploration & Adventure, Combat, & Roleplay in fairly equal parts. This specific adventure leans a little more towards combat and exploration, but still has great opportunities for roleplay.
