What Omar, the Cartesian Roach brings to the table

In this next session that you’re going to play with me, you can expect: - A multiverse affected by your decisions. - A customized 3D image of your character (and any companions) with a beautiful artistic touch. You will become the co-creator of your mini! Here's an example: https://www.heroforge.com/load_config%3D46065471/ - Real-time personalized virtual 3D maps for combat encounters. - An attentive DM, who focuses on improving the group dynamics as well as making sure your individual needs are met.

Homebrew rules

To keep the game fast, dramatic, and slightly more dangerous, I use a few house rules: • Potions – Drinking a potion as an Action restores the maximum healing. Drinking it as a Bonus Action requires rolling the dice, and there is a small chance of becoming magically intoxicated (Poisoned condition). • Critical Failures on Saving Throws – If a character rolls a natural 1 on a saving throw, the effect is treated like a critical hit, doubling the damage dice. • Lethality Philosophy – Inspired by Brennan Lee Mulligan’s lethality approach, combat can be dangerous and meaningful. Smart play, teamwork, and creativity are rewarded. • Resurrection Magic – Spells that bring characters back from death have adjusted costs and narrative consequences, making death meaningful but not necessarily the end. • Bastion Rules – If Bastions are used, the DM handles most of the bookkeeping so players can enjoy the benefits without slowing down the game.

How Omar, the Cartesian Roach creates a safe table

Player comfort and trust are very important at my table. During Session 0, we will talk about your playstyle, what you enjoy in a game, and what you hope to experience in this campaign. I will also share my approach to storytelling, how I interpret the D&D multiverse and Planescape, and we will create your character together while reviewing the house rules used in the game. Session 0 is also the moment to discuss lines, veils, personal triggers, and any concerns you may have. Players are always welcome to ask questions and express boundaries so we can create a space where everyone feels comfortable exploring the story. Throughout the campaign, I check in regularly with players to make sure everyone is having a good time. I encourage open communication and suggestions, and if conflicts or differences between players arise, I address them carefully and respectfully, always prioritizing a collaborative and supportive table environment. My goal is to create a space where players feel safe, heard, and excited to participate in the story we build together.
