About me
Hi folks! I'm Tom! And Dungeons & Dragons is my greatest passion. Perhaps that is similar to yourself, or maybe you are someone who is simply curious and wants to dip their toe into these waters. Regardless, I think weโll get along swimmingly. A veteran on StartPlaying, in terms of Dungeon Mastering accomplishments, I have: ๐ฒ had a published interview by the official D&D magazine โDragon+โ ๐ฒ almost a decade of experience in DMing ๐ฒ interpreted for the popular D&D comedy show โAdventurers Wantedโ at the Edinburgh Fringe ๐ฒ made the odd player cry at my table (in a good way I swear!) Currently, I am Dungeon Mastering full time. What that means is I dedicate myself, 9-5, to making sure that your game is up to scratch, and every game is fully prepared to deliver an epic session. Feel like I may be your kind of DM? Come join a game, or send me a message, and weโll roll some dice! ๐ง

Creating your character
Character creation will happen at Session 0. Characters will start with a free feat, and players are allowed to pick from any published race or class, and can get their stats from the standard array or point buy system (no rolling).
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players will need an account with both Discord (free to download!) and also Forge https://eu.forge-vtt.com/ (also free!). Players will need a working microphone, and a computer decent enough to play online.
What Tom brings to the table
- your backstory woven into the story of Vecna: Eve of Ruin itself - custom art for every single creature in the campaign - music appropriate for each setting - interactive maps - hours of prep - a plucky attitude and a Scottish accent
Homebrew rules
Fall damage - no cap! - For every 10 feet that your character falls, they will take 1d6 damage. In the Player Handbook, this caps at 20d6. However, for this game there will be no cap. Potions - If you drink a health potion as an action, you get the maximum possible hit points back. If you drink a health potion as a bonus action, you roll to regain your hit points. - If you want to give a consumable to someone else, it takes an action. If you are giving them health potion, they have to roll to any relevant dice to regain potential hit points. Spells/Feats - No Silvery Barbs, Conjure Animals, Conjure Celestials, Conjure Minor Elementals, Conjure Woodland Beings spells - The Find Steed spell uses the 2024 version. - The Wall of Force spell can trap creatures Large or smaller. Heroic Inspiration - Inspiration Points of inspiration cannot be used on death saving throws Character Creation - Please make sure to use the relevant ruleset when making your character. If you have signed up for a 2014 game, please makes sure to use the rules in the 2014 books. - No rolling for stats. - Anything from a publish book is generally allowed (exceptions being the 'joke' books, like Ricky and Morty, Acquisitions Incorporated, Stranger Things, etc). How many spells can be cast on one turn? - For this, we use the 2024 PHB ruling for both 2014 and 2024 games. On a turn, you can expend only one spell slot to cast a spell. This rule means you canโt, for example, cast a spell with a spell slot using the Magic action and another one using a Bonus Action on the same turn.
