Watch your step before you step on some fiends tail. Jump through the portal into a setting dripping of pseudo-magic-punk-Alice-in-Wonderland-vibes and explore the strangest parts of the multiverse. This is a living open world Planescape adventure that's dictated by the party and where they'd like to go. Several other parties are active in this world, and your and their actions ripple out into the world, changing it. โฌ๏ธ Start in Sigil โต๏ธ Sail on the river Styx ๐ฏโโ๏ธDo the limbo in Limbo ๐ป Stop by for drinks on the Rock of Bral ๐ซWash up in Waterdeep ๐ฌ Planar adventuring ain't about slaughtering monsters or crawling through dungeons. Sure, there're plenty of opportunities for such things on the planes. We planeswalkers have our eyes on more important goals. Canny cutters know that they can't get ahead on the planes by bashing everything in sight. What to Expect: ๐ฅ A fast private foundry server with all the bells and whistles. ๐ฌ A personalized Discord server & community for all kinds of interaction. ๐ An experienced DM & GM who specializes in storytelling and building expansive narratives. ๐ผ Professional soundboards and music, licensed for use and specific to campaigns. ๐บ Gorgeous animated and hand drawn maps to detail the setting. Character Creation: Resources: I allow all official D&D content to be used, including Eberron: Rising from the Last War, Explorerโs Guide to Wildemount, Guildmasterโs Guide to Ravnica and Mythic Odysseys of Theros. Grungs & Tortles are also welcome. Ability Score Generation: You can roll in the server using the "!threshold -min 72" command. If you don't like the spread, you can always default back to point buy. Races & Backgrounds: Go wild. Tasha's custom lineage and custom origin are both allowed at my table to help you craft whatever character you'd like to play. Starting Items: In addition to the starting items from your class and background, you can choose up to two uncommon or common magic items from a list called Sane Magical Prices.
Game style
Sandbox / Open World
In "Sandbox" or "Open World" games, players are given a tremendous amount of freedom to pursue their stories without the restrictions of a more linear game style. Players are encouraged to explore and engage with the world, and find their own story as they do so. These games offer the players the opportunity to help drive the narrative, and allow for the story to evolve organically through the choices they make.
Roleplay Heavy
โRoleplay Heavyโ games place the focus on the story, the characters, and the world they live within, and tend to lean hard into the various roleplaying elements of the game. These games will frequently find the party talking with NPCs, exploring the personal elements of their backstories, or even having emotional moments around the camp fire.

Dan runs games with polish and a keen understanding of what makes people who play D&D tick. He's a bit of a wizard with Foundry: his games look and sound terrific. He's great at balancing combat in high-level play, always seeming to land in the sweet spot between too-easy and TPK. He's equally skilled with narrative. Highly recommended.

Really does create an immersive fantasy environment, where imagination is the only limit! Even when the party goes on their own direction, he goes with the flow and makes the story even better!

Had a blast playing with Bh3lliom! They've got an amazing setup with Foundry VTT and soundscapes that really amplify the energy of the game - I swear at one point I forgot I was just sitting at my desk in my PJs. They're super nice about helping with stuff too, and the way they describe scenes makes everything come alive. The best part? They're totally down for whatever wild ideas the players throw at them (within reason - they probably won't let you tame a blink puppy as a pet, but hey, you can try!). The whole session just flowed really naturally, and everyone got plenty of chances to shine and do their thing. If you're looking for a DM who can take your random ideas and turn them into something awesome while keeping things fun and relaxed, give Bh3lliom a shot. Trust me, your imagination will thank you.

Bh3illiom is a great DM. I'm playing the Curse of Strahd campaign and he does a great job of setting the mood in this gothic horror campaign. His use of technology (Foundry and other effects) is second-to-none. I would recommend him very highly.

Dan was very patient while he taught us his to play Mothership. He used great visuals and allowed us to be creative as we skulked about. Dan is a safe and friendly GM!

Bh3lliom is a fantastic GM, he really knows how to set the mood with music and audio, the visual aids are on another level and it is clear he puts so much effort into the session. Could not recommend him more!
