Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign

About the adventure

If you love Redwall, Secret of Nymh, ROOT (the board game) or Disney's Robin Hood. Welcome Home, you've found the right place. Humblewood by Kobold Press tells the tale of heroic anthropomorphic critters, in an adorable high fantasy setting. I run games in 2014 rules, and will not be updating to 2024.

Game style

Rule of Cool (RoC)

“Rule of Cool” emphasizes creative story beats over sticking to a system’s rules as written. Players have the ability to push the limits of the rules or even break core rule mechanics at times if the Game Master thinks it is interesting, fun, or cool enough.

Party notes

This is using the 2014 5e rules. Party is currently at level 3

I'm new to the game and Charlie has been great to learn the game, he is patient and knows the rules quite well, also doing a great job at explaining it all and creating a safe space. Currently playing Obojima and he cares a lot about the table and makes sure everyone has a good time while also providing a great experience. 100% recommended.

DM Charlie is so great! I have done a couple games with him now at the Bruery and each has been excellent. As someone with very little experience, DM Charlie makes the gameplay perfectly suited to all levels of play. The game, group, and DM Charlie are all hilarious, fun, and welcoming. Cannot recommend enough!

Amazing GM, Played some Pokemon and did a great job of pointing us in a direction and us just doing whatever we wanted. Charlie is open to communication and I would join again when time allows.

I’ve had the pleasure of playing under this GM, and I can confidently say he deserves a full 5 stars. He keeps the game flowing smoothly while making sure every player has a moment to shine. The pacing is spot on—never dragging, always engaging—and there's a great balance of action, roleplay, and creative twists. One of my favorite parts is the character voices and roleplaying. It really brings the world to life and makes every NPC feel memorable. The GM creates a space where everyone feels included and excited to participate. If you're looking for a fun, thoughtful, and energetic storyteller, this GM delivers every time.

Charlie is always looking to provide the best experience possible for his players, and every session I've played with him has been some of the best tabletop gaming I've ever had.

How to prepare

You'll need Discord, Roll20, a mic, and sense of wonder.

What I provide

I'm gonna bring love, 25+ years of experience telling stories, running this game, and then I'll bring all the other stuff, maps, bad guys, music, and most importantly: The Story.

Gameplay details

This should be a cute game with dark undertones, but we're all here to have fun, and tell a story. So no one should be uncomfortable. We're gonna do everything we can to make sure that happens.

How will character creation work

We'll do this during session 0 with a modified D&D5e (2014) ruleset. For reasons that should be pretty obvious, birds are bad guys in this one.
