About the adventure
🗺️ Traverse a massive world 🪶 Forge your own story 🎭 Shape your fate, for better or worse Welcome to Midgard, a world published by Kobold Press. it draws inspiration from Norse, Greek, Celtic and Egyptian mythologies. I’m looking to get a group of players together to tell a story that draws as much from the characters and players as it does the sourcebook. The world is vast and full of danger, not to mention the gods that walk the world without suspicion. This game is intended to be a long-term game starting from level 3 and going up into epic levels as the group progresses through their story. This game will be every week and will follow the stories of the main group of characters who attend Session 0. I’ll work with players to get everyone a story ready to be told, using The Session 0 System we’ll generate and flesh out backstories together so everyone will know who they’re playing with and what we’re all expecting from this game. I run this as an open world that reacts to what happens in it, in addition to the player characters there will be other forces at work depending on what we set up in the 0 session. The world will be growing along with the players. I enjoy a high fantasy game, and this world fits so well into that genre as well as being something that can be molded to whatever kind of game players want. There will be a Discord Server for those who play and a DnDBeyond campaign where I share my content. I will also have a few optional homebrew rules that the group can vote on using if they’d prefer.

he runs a tight ship and a good game. i have enjoyed all of his games i have played, even when his dice luck is super good.

Met Vex at a local gaming store. His games are often humorous, fair, and on more than one occasion shows his knowledge of the game.
timberwolfbrother
A knowledgeable DM with difficult encounters that encourages strategic play. Homebrews unique mechanics that make the experience feel more personal.

I met Vex in university and had the joy of playing with them over the years in several campaigns-- both long term and short term. Some highlights: - Vex really encourages character development, and builds your character with you at the beginning of the campaign. - He helps you to develop your character at the beginning of the game so that you end up with a character to play long term. - He's willing to be flexible with character creation, and he factors the character backstories into the overall game. - Vex's regular setting is a well developed but concise world that isn't just standard Faerun, but is really intuitive to pick up. - They encourage player agency but still provide some direction for the game. - His games are well paced. - Vex has limited tolerance for player bullshit - there are consequences for people who just want to come in and kill a bunch of NPCs without engaging with the story or with people who pull racist nonsense. Overall I'd highly recommend playing with them-- some of my most cherished D&D memories come from his campaigns!

Disclaimer: This review is based on my experiences with Vex as a GM in person. Vex is rather skilled at weaving player character back story elements and goals into the campaign. He is great at balancing the amount of combat and role-play around the preferences of the group. The combats tend to be on the difficult side, so each one will feel quite satisfying. If you want to resolve things through role-play he allows for creative solutions and big impacts on the story from player choices (I managed to get the assistance of a BBEG to deal with another one).

Having played with this GM through multiple various games, I can say they are great at having a good mix of various things to explore in game and a good amount of material for games. Encounters are very well balanced yet challenging, allowing a player to get invested in the combat.

Additional details
How to prepare
A microphone and headset will be needed (Headsets help avoid echo with mics) for voice chat on Discord. They will also need a Discord account and a Roll20 account. Being familiar with the rules and having an idea of what you might like to play is recommended but we can also go over that in Session 0 if players want to brainstorm together.
What I provide
Roll20 as well as knowledge on how to use it. Access to my DnDBeyond content if people want it. I will also provide anything extra that I can within the realms of 3rd party PDFs, maps, and even tokens. I do like to make tokens for my players to let them represent their characters how they imagine them. I also use a Music bot in the Discord to help with ambiance. I personally make custom stories for every group I run for, depending on what people want and what story they would like to tell.
Gameplay details
The XNO cards will be a module used in Roll20 which will also have an Anonymous option to use them. Session 0 as well as occasional check-ins with the group will be used to set a baseline for how everyone feels and where they want the game to go. Lines and Veils will be established at Session 0 but you may always alter them if something changes. Lines will NEVER be brought up and Veils will have a fade to black or 'happens off stage' use. Stars and Wishes are welcome every session, anyone may send me a Star- something they liked, and a Wish- something they hope to see in future sessions. We can also use the Anonymous feature in Roll20 for this if people prefer.

How will character creation work
We will make characters together during session 0, if new players join later I will work with them before their first session to get them caught up. We will use a "Heroic" Standard Array or a similar point buy to allow people to have ability scores that don't leave them wanting more. Everyone will get Maximum Hit Points at every level. The starting Level will be 3 at Session 0, then if new players join they will start at the same level as the current group. Due to everyone working together on background details and these details affecting your story, the "Background Features" from backgrounds (Such as the Entertainer's "By Popular Demand") will not be used. But all proficiencies and equipment from backgrounds may still be taken. We can also work together on custom backgrounds if everyone wants to.
