About me
Greetings traveler! Come on in and enjoy yourself. Take off your cloak, have a relaxing drink, grab your snacks and dice, and be ready for a pleasant time. My name is William and I have been a dungeon master for a decade now. My top priority is offering a safe and inclusive space for nerds of all levels and genres to surround themselves with other likeminded individuals and enjoy themselves as they participate in the hobby we all love. Whether you are a veteran dragon slayer with years of experience and tactical knowledge, or someone wishing to try and get into the hobby and set off on their first adventure, you will find yourself welcomed in my cozy little tavern.

Creating your character
Character creation will happen during session zero and the week leading up to session one. Session zero will provide groundwork and a chance for everyone to work both together and one on one with me to create your character concept. I offer premade characters as an option for people who would like them.
Saturday Afternoons! Expect about 3.5 - 4 hours per session!
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You will need: A d&d beyond account, a Roll20 account, and a discord account. All three of these are free and do not require any additional money investment. It is not necessary to have these before session zero, save for the discord account, but you will need them before session one starts. We do not use webcams, but you will need a microphone of some quality to communicate during session. We will be using discord for all sessions. Discord Link: https://discord.gg/PxtXtSJYfy
What William F. brings to the table
I will be bringing battlemaps on Roll 20, a majority of official content on d&d beyond, and a wide arrangement of complimentary background music during sessions. I will also be bringing a decade of knowledge on ttrpgs, time between sessions to talk about both character and noncharacter related content, love and passion for d&d, and a safe and inclusive space for both veterans and beginners alike.

How William F. creates a safe table
During session zero we will be discussing everything. The world I am bringing, the type of content I am brining, what to expect both during and in-between sessions, and everything you will need to have a fun and engaging time. During session zero we will go over each of the safety tools available to players. Lines and veils will be discussed and documented, along side potential triggers using the Luxon Technique Discussion. During sessions you are always encouraged to go above table to talk about potential triggering events or events that might lead to conflict. Each session will be roughly about three hours long of gameplay with an additional half an hour taken as breaks to help break things up and allow time to discuss what is going on, if something needs to be changed, etc... They will also serve as bathroom breaks, breaks to get food and water, and to take care of anything that you need to. These thirty minutes are split into two 15-minute breaks that occur at the beginning and in the middle of each session. In addition at the end of each session, the ability to have an open conversation is always there for both players and I alike to talk about what has happened, to check in on each other, and make sure everyone had a fun and enjoyable time.
