About the adventure

Do you enjoy heavy roleplay? Do you love dragons and castles and high fantasy? Are you looking for a safe space to explore creatively? Then this is the game for you! These are campaigns set in my homebrew world of Lortha, two of which are centered on the island continent of Nunderon. Siege of Dragons: It is 500 ADW on Nunderon and things have been messy for a while. The queen of Ardel has asked you to search for the dragons living in the mountain and report back. But after speaking to the dragons, you have realized that telling the queen they still live will start a war. Now you are trying to stall until the princess takes the throne in less than a year. You travel all over Nunderon, keeping the peace and saving people from peril. Marva's Downfall: On the Mainland of Lortha, in the city of Marva, tensions are high as the dragons residing in the mountain to the north have become a problem. Can you save the city and stop a war? Only time will tell. The Mountain's Atlas: On the Mainland of Lortha, you are exploring and travelling through The Grimmdark Mountains, working for a dragon who wishes to change the harsh and dangerous Mountains for the better. The Time Before: You are adventurers on Nunderon, trying to stop a handful of wars from breaking out under your noses. Dragons, Demon Queens, Gods, what else?

About me

Greetings and salutations fellow nerds! My name is Ash and I am a 28 year old Non-Binary person living in Canada! I have been playing TTRPGs for 14 years and have been GMing for 10 years. I got my start with Pathfinder but quickly fell in love with Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition. Other games I enjoy playing are Vampire: The Masquerade, Monster of the Week, and Urban Shadows, to name a few. I run a monthly Learn To Play DnD 5e one-shot at my local gaming store. I have a lot of experience working with new or rusty players. I have done theatre and improv since I was 9 years old. My acting skills have definitely come in handy when it comes to GMing. It's always good to be able to think on the fly and catch whatever your players throw at you! If you want a Role Play heavy game with a DM who isn't afraid to bend the rules a little to make things more fun then consider joining one of my games! I create a welcoming and inclusive space for all who want to get their nerd on. Looking forward to playing with you!

I really can't recommend Ash enough as a GM. They do an amazing job of building a really interesting world that feels alive and has plenty of interesting characters to encounter. They do a wonderful job of incorporating your character into the story and making you included. Thanks to the GM and the party, I've had the most fun I've ever had playing dnd. Ash is seriously amazing, so if you're ever looking for a wonderful GM then look no further! :)

Ash is my favorite GM I’ve played with! B. Dave Walter’s is a close second, and that should tell you something. Ash’s world building and character work is really immersive. With them, I’ve learned how narratively compelling failure and character death can be as well as the highs of success. I wouldn’t hesitate to book a game with them especially if it’s in their Nunderon setting.

In my over 40 years of playing D&D I have had few (Including most of the Gygax family) game masters I'd recommend over Ash. Very fun, great non player characters, engaging combat, and laid back environment were all included in last night's game. The entire group of 6 players were all laughing and clapped at the end of the game session. Something, again, I haven't seen often in an in person game, let alone a remote session. Ash, keep up the great work, and I'll be around for a while!

I find myself so immersed in their story telling throughout their games that when it comes for me to make a decision I forget I'm playing a game and not just having an amazing story told to me. They have also been amazing in helping me learn the game and answering me more noob like questions.

Character creation
Creating your character

Characters start at level 5. We will be making characters together before session 0, at which point we will establish character connections and backstory. Players are to provide their own character sheets and must send digital copies (photo, scan, dndbeyond, etc.) with every level up.

What to expect
Preparing for the session

Mic is required, webcam is optional. We will be playing over discord with Owlbear Rodeo for a VTT. Players are to bring their own character sheet but may have it however they wish (dndbeyond, printed, digital, notebook, etc.). Players bring their own dice, digital or physical.

What Ash brings to the table

I bring to the table; Story and the imagination. Reference photos for landscapes and NPCs. Discord server with your own character channel. All the books we might need.

Safety
How Ash creates a safe table

Players can expect heavy roleplay and light rules altering, fast paced combats and high stakes situations. We will be starting with Session 0 to get used to the setting, make characters, and get to know each other. We will be using this time to discuss our Lines and Veils. X, N, & O cards are to be messaged privately to the GM to ensure everyone feels safe.
