About me
Hello new player! My name is Sean and I've been a running adventures since 2018. Born and raised in Southern California, I grew up surrounded by cinema and theater. Like so many others I became curious of DND and wanted to jump right in. I have been hooked on it ever since. What I like about this game is that your only limited to your imagination and do impossible things that no human being can do. I've also have a YouTube channel "McCluskers Gaming" where I host my Homebrew campaign on Foundry VTT. Foundry is my go to for online games as I am very familiar with the system. You are wondering how I run my games. I am not really a rules lawyer but at the same time rules can help the game not be broken, so my games are loose when it comes to that as DND rule can be not so clear sometimes. As it comes to being a chaotic player that I've experienced with over the years. I like a lot of shenanigan's around my table as it makes it more fun and interesting, But be courteous of other people around you. That is my main rule at my table. But enough about me.... Lets talk about you...What type of adventure are you looking for? Are you a new player looking to step into a world of make believe and you don't know where to start? No need to worry, as we were all lost and confused once before. I would guide you and to make sure that we get through this together. You will not be disappointed. A veteran player whos ready to start a new adventure and meet new adventurers. You've come to the right place. I would make your experience memorable. Are you a problem solver, and like puzzles? Then get ready to scratch your head a lot or feel good on solving that ridiculous revolving room trap. Want to just do a one shot and done? Then lets get it done. Thank you for taking the time and reading about me. Hope to see you in our adventures some time soon!!!!

SESSION 0 First Hour: We will make your character and talk about the game Second Hour and onwards: Play some Dungeons & Dragons If it is your first session, you will need to meet with the DM either an hour before the start of the game, or on another day (feel free to message first to sort out the details). Easy to understand combat with encouragement of improv as I would award players with Inspiration if it is really good out of the box thinking 🎲 The campaign starts at level 5, and continues 𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙖𝙮 to level 20!
