Ellis is a amazing DM and I love how he runs his games. He leaves a lot of room for fun characters and creativity. The games are well paced and the combat is excellent. I look forward to many more sessions. I would highly recommend joining a game.

I have had the privilege of playing several games at Ellis table, he is by far one of the best DMs I have ever played for. Gives his players who enjoy role play a chance to do it, keeps battle competitive and fair and rewards you for thinking creatively. Cannot recommend him or Megan more. The discord server also is a huge plus, the people are amazing. If you are looking for an amazing DM, look no further then Ellis or Megan.

Ellis and Megan are incredible DMā€™s and players that have attracted a great community ! I would recommend joining any of their games to players with all levels of experience, I joined the community only having played for a couple months before and Iā€™ve had an incredible time learning and playing since.

Ellis was amazing! He did a great job managing two large combats and encouraged role-playing at every turn. The entire adventure was well thought and enjoyable for our group!

First time using this service, first time doing a one shot, incredible inclusiveness and patience. Good story telling, and world building, over all a great experience.

Additional details

How to prepare

You will need a microphone (if it is a voice game), a character, your imagination, and a willingness to go to great lengths- and distances- to make things right. You will also need access to Discord, Roll20, and D&D Beyond.

What I provide

I will have a D&D Beyond campaign link for character building. I will also send you an invitation to the Roll20 game and the Discord server.

Gameplay details

This game will be live using Roll20 for maps and Discord for text and/or voice.

How will character creation work

Characters are created with a 2014 rules using a modified standard array: 17 16 15 13 11 9. You will also get a free feat at level 1. All I ask is two things: 1. Clear any homebrew with me before you commit to it. 2. No evil characters. If anyone has any questions about building characters, I can always be reached through either SPG or Discord.
