I was only here for a session and Vincent was notified- but he accepted me and I really enjoyed his DMing style! A dm that partakes in a good amount of roleplay and handles combat in fun and interesting ways. I'd absolutely recommend him!

Vincent is a kind, thoughtful, and patient DM. Great at anything from introducing you to dnd to mastering foundry or working with you to fit your homebrew class or exotic race into the setting. He puts a lot of work into creating living, interesting worlds and bringing new exciting twists to dungeons.

Gameplay details

This adventure deals with a variety of weighty topics and, after all, is a horror setting, featuring manipulative and abusive antagonists. But humor frequently goes hand-in-hand with horror, and our goal, ultimately, is to have fun playing. We will go over safety tools, consent, and how the party will get together in Session 0, and at the end of each session we can discuss what went well and what should be improved. I will also send out a consent form in which you can let me know what content you don't wish to see in our games. This is a newbie-friendly game, I will help with the mechanical and rulebook-sides of the game, you just need to tell me what your character would like to do. šŸŽ²

How will character creation work

You can use any officially published book for character options, but homebrew content must be approved by me. We start at Level 3, using the Point Buy system for this campaign. (https://chicken-dinner.com/5e/5e-point-buy.html) If you're new to DnD, I'm happy to help with all the jargon and creating your first character. šŸ‘€ You can also keep your character sheet on any platform or even on paper. Same goes for rolling, physical dice are welcome, I won't stand between you and your clickity-clacks.
