About the adventure
We start with you in dock, enjoying one last night before continuing your nautical lifestyle onboard The Glib Remark, your ship. You have a destination, trim the sail and see what adventure awaits! This adventure is very open, allowing your party to literally steer the ship in the direction you want, but whatever story we end up making, I promise it will be epic! Depending on how you go this might be a 3 session short adventure, but you can always duck in/out as needed.

About me
Hi, I’m Chris — and I have a serious addiction to D&D. Since I first started playing around 2010, I’ve never looked back. I began GM-ing in 2017, and it quickly became my passion. With my friends, I helped grow our group to about 10 players, rotating GMs every week. One of my favorite traditions was hosting an annual awards evening where all the GMs ran mini-adventures — a night full of fun, surprises, and great memories. Originally from the UK, I married a South African and now run immersive D&D Weekends out in the wilds of South Africa. Check out what it’s all about at https://waterberg-dnd.co.za. I’m all about the rule of cool over strict rules, crafting epic, player-driven stories that really bring the adventure to life. My greatest strength? Off-the-cuff improvisation — but don’t worry, my worlds are rich in detail with pages of notes for every session. I can’t wait to share some unforgettable adventures with you!

Creating your character
After signing up to the game you will have access to the D&D Beyond Campaign and Discord Server link to join and create your characters. We are playing level 4 characters, using either standard array or point buy, on top of that if you would like you can have one common magic item. Only official or critical role content without discussing first!
This is the 3rd session of 3 parts, everyone's still welcome though!

What Chris brings to the table
This game is heavily theatre of mind mostly based on a 3 deck sailing ship! My DM style is very rule of cool and encourage discussion if you disagree with a ruling. I do limited voices (best to my ability) and am very good with ad-libbing content, so lets be creative!
Homebrew rules
My playstyle leans toward Rules as Fun—I value creating an engaging experience over strict rule adherence. I’m always open to bending the rules if it makes the game more enjoyable. That said, here are a few common homebrew rules I use: - Drinking a potion is a bonus action. Giving one to another player takes a full action. - Area of effect attacks may deal double damage on a Nat 20 or none on a Nat 1. I use this more for cinematic or low-stakes moments—for example, doubling 8 damage on a Nat 1, but not 60. - Failed death saves carry over during combat (we’ll chat about this before it comes up). - When unsure if something should work, I’ll often roll odds/evens to decide. - I try to avoid players feeling useless on their turn. For example, if you save against a stun at the end of your turn, I may still let you act. Same with death saves.

How Chris creates a safe table
This is a very lighthearted and fun adventure without any serious or upsetting themes. I'll be available and very receptive before, during and after game play incase there is any content or themes you'd like to discuss.
