About me
Hey folks, ready for some adventure? I have always loved fantasy, storytelling and make-believe. So it is only natural that I fell in love with RPGs 20 years ago, and I've never stopped playing ever since. I have been a teacher of many school subjects, from math and physics to chemistry and english, I was part of a theater group for 9 years, I wrote a book and I even graduated as a chemical engineer. A bit all over the place, one might think (myself included), but what can you do when you like so many different things? Around 8 years ago, though, I've found out that DMing is among my favorite things to do. I started to study to become better and within few months I was doing it professionally, and I have run dozens of online campaigns ever since. I welcome everyone at my table, and my goal is always to create a friendly and respectful atmosphere, where everybody feels confortable to have a great time together.

Creating your character
Characters will start at level 1 and they can be created during our session 0. I can also help you with the character creation throughout the week between our sessions 0 and 1 if needed, including backstory. If you join after the first session, I can still help you in a Discord call to set up your character in a time we are both available!
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Things you will need to play this campaign: ☑️ A working mic. ☑️ An account on Discord. ☑️ An account on Foundry. ☑️ A stable internet. That's it. In our session zero we will go over character creation and the basic understanding of the system and the VTT if necessary. Don't worry, we'll get better along the way!
What Eccrios brings to the table
All sorts of VTT materials, such as battlemaps, handouts and sometimes ambient music. A fun and engaging experience of cooperative storytelling, filled with interesting situations and challenges, fantastical NPCs and locations and things to be discovered.

How Eccrios creates a safe table
We will have a free session 0, where we will discuss the system, character creation, the overall idea of the adventure, and of course, if there are sensitive issues, triggers or things in general that you would not want the game to have. Also, at the end of each session I like to ask for feedback, that can also be given in private if you prefer, regarding the session we have played or even the whole campaign in general.
