About me
I've been playing D&D for 10 years, and DMing for 7! I've been a professional DM for middle-schoolers and their families, and run games for me and my friends outside of StartPlaying. I think roleplaying games are a great way to learn about yourself, build a community, increase social skills, and have fun! All are welcome at my table! I have experience running D&D Fifth Edition, and have played Monster of the Week and Avanced D&D as well. My favorite part of the game is worldbuilding, followed by roleplaying.

Players say this GM is great at:
Inclusive
Creativity
Storytelling
If you give this man an inch he will give you a mile, if you give him a spark he will return a bonfire. I’m not sure whether he is just insanely quick on his feet or able to think 6 sessions ahead, but he certainly knows how to world-build and role-play in a way that provides a game that is perfectly balanced in combat, conversation and exploration which will leave you wanting more at every turn.
Llewyn is absolutely one of the best DM's I have had the pleasure of playing with. Not only is he inclusive, kind, and empowering to the game. But he also knows how to make a nail-biter of a session. I am always so excited to play with him and when the session is over am always looking forward to the next time I get to sit down with him. From the world building to the random role playing that the party throws at him everything this man touches is pure excellence. Thank you good sir for the adventures!
Llewyn is such a thoughtful and knowledgeable DM! I have co-DMed with, been a player for, and played alongside Llewyn for several years now, and he always makes such fun and impactful decisions. He is very good at adjusting for different groups and playstyles, and is always willing to work with players and their backstories, both to help them to create a character that works in the party and the world and to incorporate their story into the campaign.
Honestly the best GM I’ve had. You can really tell that he has a lot of experience because he takes enough time for the newbies to get the hang of the game, but can clearly manage more advanced players and make sure that everyone has fun. The characters are colorful, the stories are fluid, you feel like you are in a movie, every session is a lot of fun ! From the very start, he makes sure everyone is comfortable and all throughout the campaign, he makes efforts to make it even more enjoyable for everybody.
Character creation
Creating your character
Characters and how the party knows each other will be discussed at session 0. I will have premade character sheets for those who want them, but players must be willing to create character motivations. Stats will be rolled together. Campaign starts at 9th level.
This campaign will be theatre of the mind, with supplemental world maps and art images. We will start at level 9. It will feature puzzles and explorations primarily, but there will be combat. I'll give opportunities for role-play (RP) too with NPCs and give some lulls to have players be able to RP with each other. Session zero will give players a option to tie in their character to the world, and add a town, guild, and a reference NPC, as well as covering basics like lines-and-veils.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players will need a microphone an speakers, webcam optional. Players will also need a Discord account, and the ability to use pdfs.
What Llewyn brings to the table
I am a DM with 7 years of experience playing fifth edition. I've run a 3 year long hybrid paid game for beginners. I use silly voices, descriptions of monster and player attack, and sometimes music to bring players into the game. I play most things by the rules. I excell at homebrew worlds, with intricate worldbuilding, which this is! I guarantee fast paced, memorable combat, with monsters from practiacally any published D&D material.

How Llewyn creates a safe table
Lines and Veils discussion will happen at session 0, with option for anonymous additions prior to session 1. Session zero will also have a discussion of elements people want or don't want in the game. X, N, & O's will be handled via private messages on the same platform the game is on. Stars and wishes will be at the end of every session in the last 10 minutes.
