About me
👦🏽 He/him 🌴 Brazilian Hey there, the name is Rodrigo (pronounced Rawwwrrrrr!) After spending the last 12 years working as a successful IT consultant in Switzerland, I decided to do what any wise person would. I said screw it, packed my bags, my wife and my dog (yes, yes, packed all of them) and moved back to Brazil to start a completely new career as a full-time Game Master. My family and friends were really confused by my decision. Me? I'm having a blast! This is the first time in my life I'm working with what I love: making your day more fun! There is a zero-tolerance policy towards the intolerant. I will kick any bigots faster than you can sing "I like big boots and cannot lie."

Creating your character
New players are welcome and I can help you with the following required steps: You can either use pre-generated characters or create your own. You may create a character either in Roll20 or in DnDBeyond (with Beyond20 browser extension). The character will be reviewed by me, to check if no errors were made. Classes, subclasses and races from the following books are allowed (all shared in both DnDBeyond and Roll20): New unique options from Drakkenheim books, Player's Handbook, Volo's , Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes, Xanathar's , Tasha's , Van Richten's, Fizban's Treasury of Dragons, Mordenkainen Presents, Bigby Presents Character Level: Check the recruiting notes Stat generation: Standard Array or Point Buy Hit points: average and not rolled You will need to select an image to represent your character and upload it to roll20.
We are using the 2024 rules! Current character lvl: 9 Current party: ranger, cleric and wizard Once you join we will chat to help you quickly get up to speed on the main things that happened in the campaign and we will brainstorm to connect your character to the story and NPCs.
