About me
Collaborate with me through sessions and settings to develop your characters, and traverse worlds you'd want to explore twice over! I have been a DM for 10 years between games at home and running weekly online sessions. I have a passion for the group storytelling of D&D and the comradery within. I will be running a variety of tailor made D&D 5e adventures that will be welcoming to new players, and quick to action for experienced players. My games are a safe space where people can enjoy the company of fellow adventurers from all walks of life, in situations hand crafted and home brewed with all the right spices.

Creating your character
Character creation will occur during new campaign sessions or beforehand for existing campaigns, with discussions available via messaging on Discord. All characters will start at level 1 for initial sessions, and will be adjusted accordingly for subsequent sessions. Character details can be finalized before the game starts. Stats will use the standard array method. All characters will be hosted on the Foundry server that will be open for session 0 and before session.
The party is running into the final few areas of the module and consists of a Monk, a Cleric, Druid, and a Rogue. We would be happy to have more players and they would be able to jump in a call to sort out getting into the party before session. Join now to round out the party and face danger and excitement of the end!
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players will be required to have microphones and accounts on Forge and Discord to participate. It is recommended to use Chrome as the browser for the game's tabletop simulator foundry. Discord can be downloaded for a smoother experience compared to the browser version. Character concepts are great for preparation. We will work together to get the details translated into a D&D character prior to session or at session 0. Here are links to the applications needed for the game.

How Nicola creates a safe table
The campaign may include violence that is common to D&D and other subject matter that involves a players' character and non-player characters. X, N and O cards are accomplished with Red, Yellow, and Green light checks that players are encouraged to use when sensitive topics occur.
