About the adventure
Your favorite holiday is here: Gorgefest. You and everyone else in the kingdom will stuff yourselves into a stupor on roast meats, pies, and all manner of other delicacies. Then, after a night sleeping off this overindulgence, you'll wake up early the next morning and rush down to the market to buy baubles you don't need with gold coins you can't really afford to spend. Even better, this year you've managed to wheedle an invitation to the great feast at the royal castle. Everyone in your party has had their robes and swordbelts let out a few inches in anticipation. But some dark force seems determined to ruin everyone's holiday fun. Some nefarious witch or wicked sorcerer has brought down evil magic upon all the kingdom's most delicious foods. Possessed by evil spirits, meals now simply refuse to be eaten—squirming off forks, fleeing from tables, and even fighting back! Who could have committed such a dastardly act? Who could have cast this hideous hex on the hams, this calamitous curse on the cranberries, this sinister spell on the sweetbreads? I can't tell you that, obviously. It would ruin the ending of the adventure. The king and queen have called upon any adventurers brave enough to sally forth and put this injustice to rights before it is too late. This is your chance to make your name as heroes, for butter or wurst. Can you and your party put a fork in this flighty feast, or will you chicken out? Can you end this foul magic, or will the kingdom be condemned to dine on naught but bread and water . . . or worse, eat salad?

About me
👋 Hi! I’m Gary. 🧙♂️ You came here looking for a gamemaster—one who will make sure you have a great time. Give me a try. My #1 priority as a GM is to make sure everyone at the table has fun. 🛠️ I have spent more than 40 years gamemastering, worldbuilding, and roleplaying. I have the experience to deal with every situation, to know what works and what doesn't. 📕 I’m a professionally published fiction author, and my fantasy fiction has earned a handful of accolades. Tabletop roleplaying games have been my real passion, though, ever since I got the Red Box for Christmas when I was 10 years old. In the 40 years since, I’ve run dozens of different game systems for everyone from tweens to senior citizens, for beginners and veteran gamers alike. 🌐 Like many of us, I’ve garnered hundreds of hours of experience running games online since 2020. But running games over the internet wasn’t new to me. I’ve been doing it since the 1990s, when I used Delphi chat rooms. 🪄 When you play in one of my games, you’ll have the freedom to use your imagination. I love saying, “Yes, you can do that.” I never want to get in the way of player creativity. 🌟 I work hard to make sure my players have an experience they can’t get anywhere else. Whether I’m running an offbeat game full of eccentric characters or an intense campaign full of heroics and sacrifice, you can count on me to help you create an original, unique story. ⌨️ If you want a low-bandwidth game or a no-voice game—because of technology limitations, hearing or speech impairment, or just because that’s what you like—I will be happy to set one up for you. ✨ What are you waiting for? Let’s go on an adventure—book a game with me. I can’t wait to create great things together. ✨

Creating your character
This is an adventure for third-level characters. Pregenerated characters will be available. For those who would prefer to make a character, character creation guidelines will be provided upon booking. You can also bring in an existing character. This game is going to be fast and loose. Pretty much any character option is allowed. I don't use D&D Beyond Integration, but it won't be a problem if you want to make your character on D&D Beyond.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
✅ You'll need accounts on Discord and The Forge (my Foundry hosting service of choice). Accounts are free on both. If you don't know how to get these, you'll get details upon booking. ✅ You'll need some way to participate in voice chat. A headset mic would be perfect. ✅ You'll need a desktop or laptop computer, because Foundry VTT doesn't play nice on mobile. ✅ No webcam needed. ✅ You won't need physical dice or a printout of your character sheet. ✅ If you're already familiar with at least the core rules of 5th edition D&D, that would help, but it isn't necessary. ✅ You'll want to have snacks ready, because this is going to make you hungry.
What Call Me Gary brings to the table
This is an original adventure available nowhere else. I've got servers set up for both Foundry and Discord. I'm always available to answer questions, whether you've booked a seat or not.

How Call Me Gary creates a safe table
This is a tongue-in-cheek one-shot for 3rd-level characters. We'll use Discord for voice chat and Foundry VTT for character sheets and die rolls. This is a Theater of the Mind game, so no encounter maps.
