Game style
Theater of the Mind
“Theater of the Mind” uses little to no visuals for scene settings and combat. Instead, the narrative imagery comes from the Game Master’s descriptions and character action and movement comes from Players’ descriptions.
The current party enjoys a methodical, strategic approach to problem-solving. They take time to appreciate the journey rather than rushing to the destination, and they value character builds that make the most sense to their character's journey, rather than builds that are optimized for min-maxing or power-gaming. Utilizing the proactive, player-driven model of play presented in "The Game Master's Handbook of Proactive Roleplaying" by Jonah and Tristan Fishel, this campaign adapts to your choices, offering limitless adventures that evolve based on your actions. Your backstories aren't just personal side-quests; your player goals shape the entire adventure!

Extended version: Velvet is an extremely talented storyteller and Dungeon Master. He goes all-out and does everything in his power to make his games immersive, engaging, and fun for his players. He's also very approachable - when I came to him with something that had unexpectedly distressed me he was very accommodating and responsive, and is dedicated to holding himself accountable. Abriged Version: Dude is one of only two Dungeon Masters who's made me cry emotional tears during my character story moments. He's the only one who's managed to do it two weeks in a row. Hurt so good, worth every penny. Tears/10 would play again.
Dylan is a WONDERFUL DM. I look forward to attending his games every week! He is prepared for game night adding aspects so each player and their character have the chance to shine. I enjoy that Dylan encourages player creativity. His NPCs are so real from a simple sales person to a complex villain you feel you are there. Dylan uses a variety of voices yet his individual NPC voice and tone is consistent from session to session. Using great tools Dylan adds music as well as sound effects to tell a terrific story

This will help in maintaining continuous gameplay without interruptions. -Web Browser: Access our game sessions through any modern web browser installed on your computer. This is where you'll log into Foundry VTT to join the fun. -DnDBeyond Account: Create a free account on DnDBeyond if you don’t already have one.

Discord for Communication: -Discord Account: A free Discord account will be needed to communicate during our sessions. You can sign up easily if you haven't yet. -Microphone: Good audio is key for interaction, so please have a microphone ready.

What I provide
Relaxed and Engaging Gameplay: At the heart of every session is the goal of fun. Dungeons & Dragons is collaborative storytelling at its finest, and I strive to keep the atmosphere light and encouraging. While respecting the gravity of our adventure’s dramatic moments, I ensure a welcoming environment where everyone can role-play at their comfort level without pressure. Premium Game Resources: -DnDBeyond Master-tier Subscription: All players in my campaigns gain access to all sourcebooks, ensuring you have every tool at your fingertips. -Foundry Virtual Tabletop: We will use this advanced platform for most sessions, known for its robust features that enhance gameplay. -Exquisite Maps and Ambience: Enjoy hundreds of detailed maps from The MAD Cartographer, enhanced with ambient lighting and sounds for deep immersion. -Rich Audio Landscape: A vast catalog of music, environmental sounds, voice lines, and foley effects from Monument Studios brings our world vibrantly to life. Dynamic Gameplay Elements: -Combat: Expect combat to be swift yet accommodating. I’m here to answer any mechanics or rules questions you may have, making sure everyone remains engaged and learning. -Puzzles and Riddles: Challenges are designed to be stimulating but never game-stopping. Every puzzle and riddle has multiple solutions, ensuring the story keeps moving. -Social Interactions: Prepare for rich, immersive interactions. I love bringing characters to life with distinct accents and personalities—feel free to laugh along with my attempts! -Balanced Experience: Players can anticipate an even blend of combat, puzzles, and social interactions, ensuring a well-rounded adventure. -Rule of Cool: I lean towards creativity and epic moments over strict adherence to rules.

Gameplay details
Commitment to a Safe and Enjoyable Experience -Respectful Session Timing: All sessions are designed to be concise, never exceeding 3 hours, unless there's unanimous agreement to extend. Each session includes a 15-minute break to ensure comfort and focus. - Pre-Game Preparation with Session 0: Before diving into our adventures, a complimentary Session 0 is provided. This is a crucial time to align on player expectations, establish boundaries, and assist with character creation. This session ensures everyone starts on the same page and feels prepared and confident. For those who prefer privacy when discussing boundaries or any concerns, I'm available for direct messages on Discord. - Ongoing Communication: I believe in the power of feedback to create the best gaming experience. Over the course of the campaign, I periodically reach out to every player individually via Discord to gather insights and ensure satisfaction with the campaign's progression. - Handling Boundaries with Care: We treat each other with respect, and any breach of established boundaries is taken seriously. Minor issues may result in a brief timeout for reflection, while significant or repeated breaches might lead to a group discussion regarding potential removal from the campaign. Your comfort and safety are my top priorities. - Zero Tolerance for Discrimination: While our adventures explore complex themes within Eberron, including societal injustices, there is absolutely no tolerance for out-of-character discrimination or hate speech. This includes racism, homophobia, xenophobia, and any form of sexual violence. Breaching these principles leads to immediate removal from the session and potentially the campaign, depending on the severity of the offense. - Join Us for a Respectful and Thrilling Adventure: Together, we'll navigate the rich and intricate world of Eberron, ensuring a memorable and respectful experience for all adventurers.

How will character creation work
Character creation will occur initially on DnDBeyond and can occur either before or during Session 0. Everyone will be starting at level 1. Content to enable during character creation: - Homebrew Content - Eberron Content - Dragonlance Content - Critical Role Content (mostly for the Blood Hunter class and Gunslinger subclass) Everything else, including partnered content, should be disabled. Stats will be decided by rolling 4d6 and dropping the lowest d6 and totaling the remaining 3, and completing this process 7 times, dropping the lowest total at the end. The remaining 6 values will be your starting stats to be distributed between Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma as you see fit.
