About me
I've been playing table-top role playing games (TTRPG) games for years and years and years and now it's my turn to craft unforgettable experiences for other people! Join me and be a part of immersive storylines filled with vivid characters supporting your character's journey, which will be the heart of the experience. Whether you're a seasoned player or new to the TTRPG universe, I tailor the game experience to suit the preferences and comfort levels of the group. Every session is a collaborative endeavour where everyone's input is valued. I will always prioritise a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere which we can establish with a comprehensive session zero. Don't like a particular rule? Great! Tell me why and give me an alternative and if it works for the story and for the rest of the group we'll run with it. The mechanics should be there to enhance, rather than impede the story and more importantly having fun! I run games using the DnD 5e ruleset, DnDBeyond, ForgeVTT, and Discord. I use a mix of official maps and custom maps built in Dungeon Alchemist for times when the narrative goes in unexpected directions - which it often does! All my players will be able to access official DnD sourcebooks and materials when building characters via DnDBeyond. Syrinscape adds another level of immersion with official soundtracks and custom soundtracks for exploration, mystery, combat, drama, and more! What are you waiting for? There are stories to be told, get in and tell me what path they should take!

Creating your character
Characters will begin at level 1 for the start of the campaign. Players joining after the campaign begins will be levelled appropriately to the rest of the group. A wide array of pre-made characters available. Easy setup for custom characters by using: 🔵 Max hit points for characters 🔵 Standard array for character attributes 🔵 Backgrounds available from DnDBeyond or pre-made or bring your own! 🔵 Wide array of levelling options from various sourcebooks in DnDBeyond. I will assist players in choosing if they want too. Campaign officially supports up to level 12, but we can go higher with additional storylines.
- This adventure is perfect for beginners and veterans alike. If you've played Baldur's Gate 3, you'll feel right at home here. - Join the discord and have some fun! - Adventures has begun but still plenty of time to join! - Characters are level 4, vibes are chill, battles are thrilling! - Goblins do be wild

How Andrew creates a safe table
Session Zero will be used to discuss the content warnings and how they may be used in the campaign (either with official content or improvised content). I will discuss my own do's and don'ts and allow the players to fill in their own checklist so I know what they are comfortable with. Checklist we'll be using is available here: https://mcpl.info/sites/default/files/images/consent-in-gaming-form-fillable-checklist-2019-09-13.pdf X, N, O's will be digital and can be anonymous, players can DM me in discord. Each session will accommodate a 10-15 minute break. For debriefing, aftercare, I'll always accommodate time at the end of the session and will be available on discord DMs after sessions as well if needed. I'm also a trained mental health first aider to top it all off as well!
