About me

Hello adventurers, my name's Ted and it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance! I've been a Dungeon Master for D&D 5E for the past 5 years. I started my professional full-time DM career on November of 2021 and I've been having a blast! I am Greek born and raised, which gives me the edge when I talk for the NPCs, they all have a natural Eastern European accent! Joking aside, I love D&D and I enjoy playing every single session. I am very passionate about the game and all my players have had a great time. I DM for most of the official modules from Wizards of the Coast. I can also pick up other books if a group requests them, but will need some time to prepare. I hope you consider me to be your Dungeon Master on your next epic adventure!

Character creation
Creating your character

Players will start from level 5 and progress to level 20 in the span of this campaign. Each player should have a general idea of what character they'd like to play and then we will make the concept a reality together. Characters will be created at Session 0. Every character will have a free feat from character creation.

The current party
The party composition is Wizard, Rogue, Druid and Ranger. The group is doing point buy. They are level 13. The group has chosen the Path of Demons and are evil aligned! The "Avernus" part of the campaign just ended and the players are heading to the second layer of Hell, Dis! It is an excellent point for a new player to join!
What to expect
Preparing for the session

All players need to have a working mic and a stable internet connection. Webcam is not necessary but always appreciated (it's nice to see the faces of the people you're talking to). Everyone should have a basic understanding of the rules, of course they will be assisted if they don't remember something. Roll20 as well as Discord account are necessary. Finally, players will need a Syrinscape Online account where I will be streaming music and ambience sounds from.

What Ted brings to the table

I have a Pro account on Roll20, as well as all core rulebooks that I can share with my players. I am very proficient with scripts and macros on Roll20 that speed up combat a ton. Music and ambience will be streamed from Syrinscape Online.

Safety
How Ted creates a safe table

On Session 0 we will discuss the rulings we will follow (for example vote if we want flanking or not), introduce ourselves, decide on the party composition and go over the way the campaign works. We will roll for stats, but everyone will use the array we roll. If the rolls are bad, we will go with point buy instead. Players get a free feat at level 1. We will use the "X, N and O" cards as macro on Roll20. Players can expect a fast paced and rules light gaming experience. The official title of the module is "Baldur's Gate - Descent Into Avernus". The "Baldur's Gate" part is infamous for how badly is it made so we will be skipping it altogether.
