Play by Post! Coins, Choices & Chaos in Waterdeep (PbP)
About the adventure
The streets have recently turned bloody. Where the Dock Ward never was a safe place to be, especially after nightfall, now every morning a new street has been cordoned off by the powerless city guard. The only duty they manage to fill is counting the piling bodies... You are a group of adventurers, who like all adventurers of any sort of renown, meet up at the yawning portal. Where scribe extraordinaire Volo is waiting for you with a tiny little quest hurtling you into the midst of the dealing with the who's who of Waterdeep. Level 3-7 Campaign. --- Art Attribution: macrovector / Freepik redgreystock / Freepik

About me
I've been GM:ing for the last 15 years, on average more than one session a week and I am part of a theater troupe and act in two different plays a year. With this comes experience with giving the spotlight to all kinds of players and actors: new, shy, comedians, min-maxers, young, old and every sort of person from all walks of life. In my table you will be in safe hands no matter who you are. Be wary though, I love to laugh! Systems I have played and am willing to run: D&D, Pathfinder 2e, Starfinder 2e, Numenera, Shadowrun, Cyberpunk, Not the End, Fate(any iteration), Vampire, Mage, Masks, Dune, Call of Cthulhu and many others. Shoot me a message and we will find something that fits you and your schedule.

Creativity
Teacher
Inclusive
Vlue is very knowledgeable and patient (even with us being 5-6 sessions in) with newer players like myself who have only played very loose home games. Very good at teaching my group how to use the roll20 site that most of us had never used before and has the "there is no dumb questions" vibe about him. Very good characters, and quick to come up with answers to our nonsense. He is very quick to play into the weird ideas and mischief while still trying to help you stay on track without it feeling like he's trying to railroad you. Very good choice of DM for any level of play.
I recently joined a group that had recently started their adventure and joining was very easy and the game has been very enjoyable at one point I had problems with my internet and he gave me a refund without even asking. I look to playing more and would highly recommend Vlue as a Dm.
Vlue is an utterly brilliant DM. i really appreciate his creativity, flexibility and world building. i feel like i can see every scene and i really get a sense of the characters. he gives the players so much creative freedom and is really happy to take a thought and run with it in the best of ways
Character creation
Creating your character
We will be creating characters together if you join for session 0, or I will have some premade characters to choose from as well. In the case you aren't there for session 0, we can collaborate through discord messages or I will just sign off on your characters after creation.
This is a play by post asynchronous campaign over discord. Welcome :)
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Please check that your microphone works and you would be happy to listen to that sound for the duration of the session. A webcam is allowed but not necessary, even though I will most likely be using one for most sessions.
What Vlue brings to the table
The rulebooks, maps Roll20 pro and all the things that come from it. When GM:ing I welcome worldbuilding, narration and input from players. Whenever it feels right if you add in a detail or ask if this would fit in as a part of the world/situation more often than not I agree wholeheartedly. Join the table and be yourself and your character, we aim to have a safe and fun environment for everyone.

How Vlue creates a safe table
Lines and Veils can be messaged beforehand, but we will go through them together during session 0 Same with X cards, we will go through how to use them and the implementation of it inside of roll20. The deck has an api addon which pings the game master making them aware of a card being played.
