About the adventure
Your tale starts deep within Thither, a once-beautiful feywood now shadowed by decay. Skabatha Nightshade, the creature who rules this land, twists the forest’s heart, and her influence taints all who dwell here. Yet hope still glimmers in hidden places, among ancient trees, glittering fairy rings, and secret pools. Some parts of the forest feel abandoned, swallowed by thorns and sorrow. Others remain stubbornly alive with laughter. Travelers might encounter talking beasts, curious children, sly tricksters, and powers older than memory itself. But beware: nothing in Thither is ever quite what it seems, and even the kindest smile may hide a price. You will join a party of bold souls already venturing through this surreal woodland: • Stump, a bugbear ranger with a taste for the culinary arts. • S'Scalor, a lizardfolk fighter who meets challenges with his club. • Charon, a shifter sorcerer whose magic dances dangerously at his fingertips. At 5th level, these adventurers seek truths buried deep in the Feywild. Their journey has brought them to Thither's misty groves, where towering trees whisper old secrets and danger prowls beneath the green canopy. This game focuses on: • Deep character development • Rich roleplaying and storytelling • Collaborative exploration of wonder and danger • Flexible, creative problem solving • A welcoming, inclusive environment | LGBTQ+ FRIENDLY | POC SAFE-SPACE | ALL GENDERS WELCOME | 18+ ONLY | Whether your character seeks lost memories, a chance to right old wrongs, or simply hopes to survive the twisted magic of Thither, your story will intertwine with others in a realm where beauty and horror coexist. Step lightly, tread wisely, and dare to hope. Ready to join us? A world of mystery, courage, and heart awaits.

About me
Hi there! I’m Vee, and I've been running games as a Game Master for about six years now. I love crafting immersive, character-driven adventures that emphasize deep storytelling, meaningful connections, and collaborative creativity. At my table, your character’s journey is at the heart of everything, and your choices actively shape the world and narrative around you. My games are perfect for players who enjoy roleplaying, exploring personal story arcs, engaging in dynamic interactions, and uncovering thrilling narrative twists. I aim to create a welcoming, inclusive, and richly detailed environment where everyone feels free to fully explore their characters and contribute to an evolving story. I’m excited to meet your character and dive into their adventures with you, so let's build some unforgettable stories together! What You Can Expect at My Table - A safe and inclusive environment (LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC-friendly) - Roleplay-focused gameplay where your character’s story truly matters - Collaborative storytelling where creativity and player agency are encouraged - Welcoming atmosphere for both new and experienced players Looking for a Game? Take a look at my listed games, or reach out directly if you're interested in a custom campaign or one-shot. I'm always happy to chat and help you find the perfect game! More About Me (Beyond the Dice!) I’m 36 years old, currently living in Canada, and have been passionate about storytelling and roleplay since I was about 11. My journey started in Pokémon chatrooms before moving onto forum-based RPGs across various fandoms (Harry Potter, Star Wars, X-Men, general fantasy, anything that sparked my imagination!). I discovered tabletop RPGs through D&D 5e in 2018 and haven't looked back. These days, I play and run a variety of games and love supporting players as they tell meaningful, character-focused stories. If you enjoy roleplay-driven adventures filled with rich storytelling and meaningful character moments, I’d love to roll some dice together! 🎲

Creating your character
You can create your character in D&D Beyond before or during our one-on-one Session 0. All official races and classes are welcome. For ability scores, we will be using the point-buy method. If you end up needing any help at all, I am happy to give lots of guidance!
We've very recently had another new player join, so you wouldn't be the only one! Everyone is currently level 5, and we have a ranger, fighter, warlock and barbarian.

How Vee creates a safe table
Upon joining the campaign, I will invite you to the Discord server, where there will be a link to the RPG consent checklist. The content warnings include things that may never come up, so please include whatever you're uncomfortable with. My approach balances the game's overall experience with a reasonable adherence to rules, emphasizing creative storytelling while ensuring gameplay remains structured and coherent. Expect a lively, engaging game with me, where the rules are respected but not to an excessive degree, allowing for a fluid, role-playing rich experience. I infuse some humor and comedic scenarios throughout, and carefully shape the narrative to facilitate character development and the advancement of individual backstories and goals. Visual elements are integral to my campaigns. I present players with visual references of the environments they explore and the characters they encounter, enhancing immersion and helping them to more fully embody their characters and the captivating worlds they inhabit.
