About me
With over a decade of experience running games I know how to craft an adventure that will shock and surprise you, placing YOU at the centre of world-shaping events. Every decision counts. Every roll of the dice changes the story. Every character gets their turn in the spotlight. Let's make some magic together! More about me: 🎥 I have a masters degree in film curation and have a passion for all things cinema. I carry this through to my games, bringing epic storylines inspired by a world of storytellers before me. Want to feel like the star of a Hollywood blockbuster, a Hong Kong martial arts hero, or a cigar-chewing spaghetti western cowboy? I know how stories function and how to make your dreams a reality. 🎲 I offer balanced yet challenging experiences that prioritise teamwork and foster a collaborative game between you and your fellow players. Exhilarating combat, free flowing role-play and unpredictable exploration means that you will get to experience all pillars of TTRPGS at a first class level unlike anything you've experienced before. 😄 I am approachable both in and out of game. Want to change something about your game? Let me know and I will always be happy to make adjustments. Looking for a place to call home? We foster a diverse community of players where all are welcome regardless of background. Need someone to lend an ear for some out-of-game issues? Let's talk. My door is always open. I hope to see you in game soon!

Creating your character
Character creation will be done in D&D Beyond using my library of races, classes and subclasses. Looking for something I don't have? Let me know and I will purchase it for you to use at no extra charge. Characters should be built using the 2014 ruleset. Starting Level 1. Characters joining later join at the same level as the party. Advancement: Milestone Ability scores: Point buy or Standard Array Feats and Multiclassing: Yes All official content is allowed and encouraged with three exceptions: -No custom lineage -No Peace or Twilight Domain Clerics -No content from the 2024 ruleset
The party are currently level 13 and on a journey into the Hells. What brought your character there? Current Characters: - Tiefling Warlock (The Undead) - Human Sorcerer (Aberrant Mind) - Human Cleric (Life Domain) - Kobold Artificer (Artillerist) - Goliath Paladin (Oath of Conquest) *New players joining within 24 hours of start time may need to wait a week to play to allow for full onboarding*

How Olly creates a safe table
📜 A custom campaign - This is not a pre-existing setting. Your backstories will help develop the world. - Individually targeted quests will keep the stakes high. - Player buy-in is a must. As this world will be developed from YOUR backstories, it is essential that players are willing to put effort and thought into their characters. Thinking and feeling in-character is strongly encouraged. ⚙️ A perfect balance of the three pillars - Exciting combat will keep you on the edge of your seat. - Rewarding exploration means a new surprise is always on the horizon. - Deep NPC motivations provide high-stakes role-play encounters. 🗣️ Community guidelines - Collaborative thinking is a must. - Zero tolerance for harassment and abuse - Have fun and encourage others to do the same
