About the adventure
You begin your journey when you arrive by ship at a tiny cloister called Dragon’s Rest, a haven where world-weary people come to seek peace, reconciliation, and enlightenment. There, you learn about the dangers facing Stormwreck Isle, being drawn into the midst of an ancient war among dragons as you explore an island that has long been a battlefield in that conflict, searching for you own path and destiny. Let's become heroes! This is a short campaign that will take characters from level 1 to 4. If the players want, it can be continue into a larger campaign afterwards.

About me
I always liked reading fiction, writing and creating stories, what lead me to the GM role eventually. I like high fantasy and heroic adventures, where I believe Dungeons and Dragons shine. I tend to work on characters stories into the main plot, regardless if it's a published adventure or an original story. My games are for everyone, where the most important is to have fun and a good time. I love to teach new players and to learn with experienced ones and I believe a mix of both is very helpful. I'm a collaborative GM who likes to help players create their characters and make them shine, so we can tell a great story together. I'm a screenwriter and a board game lover. And aside from English, I'm also available to DM in Spanish and Portuguese.

Love the format, it's like there's always a game going on! DM is thoughtful and ensures that the back and forth happens. He is also, very adaptable when players come and go making sure that someone leaving the game doesn't grind things to a halt. Also love the minigames and elements of originality he adds to what would otherwise be a standard module. It's hard to tell if a side quest or chance meeting is part of the module or part of something else. It keeps things fresh and keeps you guessing which makes for a great player experience.
He is a great PBP dm! As a first time player at PBP games I really had a blast and enjoyed myself thoroughly. Despite the massive time difference I have with the dm, I was able to keep up with the game really well and contribute to the game. He is very good at describing the scenes and setting the mood. The combat to RP ratio in the campaign is really suitable as well. Definitely will recommend him to anyone!
As a player who's been playing in real life for a while, I wanted more DND in my life but couldn't commit to more weekly sessions, but was also unsure about PBP... but doing this with Bernardo has made me wondered why I ever wanted anything else! It's a blast, and he's so easy to work with, providing both structure and flexibility. For players who want to have a bit more fun unpacking characters and building stories instead of just using DND as a combat simulator, I totally recommend this format and Bernardo in particular as a guide! I felt like I've gotten so much value to what I'm paying here.
Character creation
Creating your character
Characters will start at level 1. During Session 0, I'll help everyone develop and create their characters based on the concepts they chose. Also, you can always chose a premade characters and go from there. You can bring as much as you want about your character to the group or privately for the DM if you want some secrets' shenanigans ='D All official content is allowed, and we'll specify it again during character creation. We'll use standard array (15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8) or roll (4d6 dropping the lowest) for the stats.
The party is currently lv3. We have a Barbarian, a Druid and a Ranger.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You'll need a working mic. A Discord and The Forge accounts (both free) are also required, but I can help you set them up. For the Session 0, at least a character concept if you don't want a premade character.a Eagerness to have fun!
What Bernardo "daewolz" brings to the table
I'll provide an open and safe space for everyone to play and have fun. I'll teach about D&D and FoundryVTT for everyone who needs it. I also bring some visual aid, custom maps and, let's hope, a great story and experience. I'm also available out of session time for any support about the game the players need.

Safety
How Bernardo "daewolz" creates a safe table
During Session 0, we'll talk about connections among player characters and discuss game expectations and how we can move forward the best way possible for everyone. That includes talking about safety tools and learning a little bit about D&D and FroundryVTT if you're not familiar with it. The level advancement will be by milestones, which means that characters will level up as the group accomplish goals and/or plot points during gameplay. Everyone will level up at the same time.
