A decaying barony holds adventure for you and if you make it through, there is a tear in reality itself awaiting you. Will you be able to solve the mystery of the planar gates and stop the evil that wants to push through? Free Session 0. We will be collaboratively building our own version of the Forgotten Realms as we play. So get in early and build the world you want!

About me
15% off for veterans and service members. Just message me about it before you sign up. New kid in town. Moved from the inner city to no neighbors in sight. Fifth grade and no friends anywhere. One rainy morning, I walked into the game room that popped up to replace the playground and heard dice and excited chatter. Thirty-two years later, I'm playing all the games I can find. I've been DMing for almost that entire time. Almost every edition of D&D, two of Star Wars and WoD each, and a scattered few others. I like to run games that assume the characters don't know everything. The fear of Around The Corner. Pure diamonds right there. I like to run games that assume the players might know everything. The active assent to suspension of disbelief. Chyeah buddy. I like to run games that are fun for everyone. That continue on in your noggin even after you’ve left the table.

Creating your character
You will likely have already created your character in the free Session Zero. If you are joining later, we will work together in the Discord chat to create your character. To respect the other players' time and money, too-similar characters will not be allowed, at my discretion. There will also be pre-generated characters available, especially if you are new to RPGs.
Mystery - Good - Evil - Treasure - Adventure - Yeayus!
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You will need a mic and headphones. You will need a free Discord account. You will need to be familiar with the Basic Rules which are available for free on the DnDBeyond website. If you are not yet comfortable creating your own character, but have read the Basic Rules, I will gladly provide you with a pre-generated character. If you are unfamiliar with rolling dice on Discord, there are many Avrae tutorials available on YouTube, but I can roll them for you from my end.
What Ben The Nerdy Papist brings to the table
I will bring the adventure and the non-player characters, as well as the pre-generated characters. I will also bring the chirping of baby chicks in the background as we play.

How Ben The Nerdy Papist creates a safe table
First, there will be scheduled breaks at the two- and four-hour marks (or thereabout, depending on what's going on at the table at the time). Second, if someone needs a break before then, please just send me a direct message and we will do it. Finally, after we're done the game, we will hold a Stars and Wishes session.
