David is the DM you’ve been looking for. Hands down, he’s in the top 1% of DMs. Not only do you get to sit at a table with a brilliant, kind, organized, and delightful storyteller, his world attracts a community of awesome people. I signed up for a game and got so much more than I bargained for. I feel like I unlocked the cheat code on StartPlaying by finding David. Whether you are a new player or seasoned, you’ll be welcomed with open arms.

David (The Kindly Cleric) is a great DM and a great friend. He's been my main DM for several years now and I've played several campaigns with him. If you're a new player and need to be shown the ropes, David will make. you feel comfortable and get you out of your shell.

What I provide

For Echoes of Rebellion, we’ll be using Alchemy RPG as our virtual tabletop, bringing this Star Wars adventure to life with immersive visuals, dynamic music, and interactive maps tailored to every encounter. Alchemy RPG enhances storytelling, allowing players to dive deep into the Star Wars galaxy with a cinematic experience that goes beyond the basics. Once registered, you’ll receive links to our Discord server (for voice chat and community), Alchemy RPG (for the game space), and D&D Beyond (for character sheets and resources).

Gameplay details

At Echoes of Rebellion, we prioritize creating a safe and enjoyable experience for every player. To ensure that everyone feels comfortable and supported, we use several structured safety tools: • X Cards: At any time, players can tap the X Card to indicate they’d like to skip or avoid specific content, no questions asked. This helps keep the session fun and respectful of everyone’s boundaries. • Lines & Veils: Before we begin, we’ll establish Lines (content to be avoided entirely) and Veils (content to be handled with discretion). This allows us to craft an experience that suits everyone’s comfort levels from the start. • Regular Breaks: Long sessions can be intense, so we’ll have regular breaks to give everyone a chance to regroup, refresh, and refocus. These breaks also give players space to step away if a scene becomes particularly heavy. • Stars & Wishes: At the end of each session, we’ll share Stars & Wishes—a chance to highlight what you enjoyed (Stars) and express what you’d like to see more of or improve (Wishes). This open feedback helps tailor the experience to what you enjoy most. Your enjoyment, comfort, and safety are central to this game. Let’s make Echoes of Rebellion a journey where everyone can immerse themselves fully and respectfully in the Star Wars universe.
