About me

Heyo! I would love to create a world that fits with the style and genre that YOU are into! I thrive when I'm allowed to host a custom-made game, I often homebrew that cannot be fulfilled with standard D&D. When it comes to hosting I am flexible to the wants and needs of you and the rest of the party! I run adventures ranging from Sci-Fi Spelljammer to grounded low-magic drama, all created hand in hand together with the players. Anything is possible: - Want a deep-diving adventure in the plane of water? - Want to be on the run in a daring survival game where you escape the law? - Want to kill or become a god? If you want a story worth your time, hit me up! You can contact me to learn more about what I am like as a DM on Discord: https://discord.gg/EAXmBDh5Pm or here on startplaying.games! My virtue's: Homebrew is a must, Rule of Cool is the way forward and im always prepared if the unthinkable happens! I'm open to criticism, want to learn, and hope to deliver!

Bliss is great at making a world that you can experience, no matter what you want to do he usually has something ready or he can quickly improvise. Its also of note that he is good at bringing the spotlight around, you don't need to worry about being left out with him in charge.

As someone relatively new to the whole D&D scene, and mostly clueless on what to do, I was pleasantly surprised by how accessible help was during my first few sessions, where I had hardly any idea what to do. the whole experience I have had and currently having with Bliss as a DM is nothing short of magical, the world he creates is very immersive and fascinating, the characters he creates are made with heart and love, and his stories are creative and deep. In it’s own way it is super inspiring even. I also cannot continue without mentioning the amazing community, really good people that I talk with, and the allies that I play with, I only hope for the relationships to grow and feel more comfortable with them. Overall, I would highly recommend Bliss, even if you have no previous dnd experience at all!

Bliss really cares about his players and makes sure they are having fun. He/they is also a great world builder as you can tell by the other comments. Defiantly worth the time and there's a 99.99% chance you will get hooked on first session.

I can not recommend Bliss enough. His world building, story telling, and ability to really integrate player interests and random reactions is beyond compare. The time he puts into getting to know each player, their character, their game interests, etc goes above and beyond other DMs. His creativity in creating a custom world and story line according to the interests of the players is impressive and so much fun to be part of. I eagerly look forward to every session.

I have been working with Bliss a couple of months now. He has been responsive to questions (I'm a beginner) & flexible to the players' preferences, which I really appreciate. His world-building is fantastic, and it has a good ratio of role play to battles.

Character creation
Creating your character

Character creation will happen with the aid of a clear and well-written document that will hold 99% of the information you need to start with, after that point, I'm more than willing to aid you in the challenge. Use roll20 or Dndbeyond to keep track of your character, and in the case of the latter use the Beyond20 extension to link back to roll20 where we host our sessions. My usual table rules for character creation: • All races, classes, and backgrounds are allowed. Homebrew content can be allowed if discussed beforehand. • Multiclassing and Feats are certainly allowed • Stats are as follows: roll 4d6, re-roll any 1's, then remove the lowest, (aka keep the 3 highest). Alternatively, you can choose to use the standard array or point buy method, even after having seen your set of rolls. • Choose how involved you want me to be in the character creation process, if you want existing NPC's to be part of your backstory then don't be afraid to ask! • Message me for help!

The current party

The party is comprised of many different people, but one thing they have in common: they want to see the surface again. The party has now made its way onto the 5th layer of the Underdark: Charibdys, where a war is currently waging. As the Drow and the Duergar fight for domination of land and resources, the party will have their work cut out for them. How to cross a battlefield and reach the next layer up. The party is level 9!

What to expect
Preparing for the session

Get a drink, get a snack, get a comfy chair and a stable internet connection and we will be fine! Other requirements like a PC and accounts for the aforementioned websites/services are of course also needed.

What Bliss brings to the table

I hope to bring a happy attitude + handouts for homebrew items and spells! Also: Illustrations of your character can be bought if we play a few sessions together! The commission prices depend on the size and quality of the artwork but this we can discuss later.

Homebrew rules

We use the rule of cool to create great moments for all in the group, but if you want to be thorough, this document lists most of the Homebrew Rules at the table! https://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/share/4LbyWsE8XaUc

Safety
How Bliss creates a safe table

There are some documents and links if you were to join that range from necessary to interesting. A consent form, a document with personal table rules, a discord server link, a roll20 campaign link, etc. I would love to aid you with this if you would want my help ❤️ I promise to be inclusive to everyone that plays without malicious intent, anyone that uses threats and ridicules others will result in a ban at my table (let's have some respect while still poking fun at one another once in a while). Players can expect a good mix between combat and roleplay, depending on their wishes the 50-50% mix can be scaled to be anything else.
