About the adventure

*** ANY CAMPAIGN AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST - WE ARE RUNNING NEW PHB 2024 RULES AND WILL BE AVAILABLE ON DND BEYOND *** My style is Medium RP/Medium Combat - with a heavy dose of consequences. Higher stakes leads to higher rewards, but that’s up to you to take those risks if you want. Make no mistake, if you scoff at consequences, this isn't where you want to be! I love incorporating each character’s story into the campaign. You’ll see your creative spirit shape the world around you and become a permanent part of the lore. I prefer to fit the characters into the campaign we are running. We start our adventures at level 1, but the intro session will end at level 2. I play with XP, but devising a scheme around combat will net you just as much experience. I usually do 1 one-on-one individual session per character first to introduce them the realm and also kickstart their background and motivations. We play Rules as Written as much as possible, but where game-breaking scenarios arise, we will make a RAI ruling. Generally, the question I apply is: If a player can do it, an NPC can do it - and if every NPC did it, would it break the game? Look me up on discord and we can have a chat! Will you survive to get your name sung at the local tavern? Or will you be cowed to the shadows, surviving on the scraps of others? Or perhaps you’ll guide your own path through the realm and become a Lord of your own fiefdom? Once accepted I can invite you to the discord. This is for new and old players alike. I encourage autonomy - nobody controls your character except you and I expect the same for everyone at the table. Everyone will get a chance to speak and be the main character of their own story. Powergaming is welcome too! But don’t be surprised if smart enemies find your weaknesses and exploit them. This is a team game, so anyone that can’t contribute to the team won’t make it very far alone…

Additional details

How to prepare

Tech Required: Mic (webcam only if interested), D&D Beyond account (no subscription required as I will provide the books), Beyond20 Creativity: Character concepts and backgrounds. We can use Session 0 to flesh out any further details.

What I provide

Foundry VTT with server, Membership at D&D Beyond. All characters will be kept on D&D Beyond and use the Chrome extension Beyond20 for all rolls. Maps will have lighting and fog of war enabled so make sure you come with your Darkvision Goggles on! Rules as Written primarily, but deferring to Intended under game-breaking circumstances. My mantra is: “if the good guys can do it, does it break the game if every bad guy did the same?” Expect intense combat, consequences from roleplay, voices (when I can!), and rewards for great teamwork.

Gameplay details

We go over all concerns in Session 0. Open door policy and open and regular discussion of any topics of concern. I run campaigns with gritty fantasy realism, not an attempt to push or trigger boundaries.
