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 with 8 years of 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 resting in and around Vallaki. If you are looking at joining a session in swing the party is getting into the module near the middle. Either way we’ll ensure you can join with onboarding and character creation before your first session. Any experience is welcome! The party consists of level four adventurers with the following classes: Cleric, Monk, Rogue, and Fighter
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.

What Nicola brings to the table
Expect adventures, clear communication, atmospheric voices, rules knowledge, arbitration, advice, and help. All of this is geared toward making a fun and exciting experience for all types of players. I will have a discord server for communication, with foundry as the virtual tabletop for character sheets, visual aids, and more!
