About me

I own a game store and love running RPGs. I run d&d 5e and the occasional savage worlds/rifts campaign. I like to run third party modules by great third party creators like Matt Coville, the dungeon dudes, dm Dave, and ghost fire gaming to name a few. I also run my own home-brewed campaigns from time to time. I subscribe to a dozen map & token patreons as I like my games to have great art. To name a few if you know them; cze&peku, forgotten adventures, crosshead, Tom Cartos and Caeora.

The current party

This is a massively redone Avernus. The story, the drive is made more personal, the fiends are made more real, and the stakes are made achievable. Level 5 start! any classes and races. I love third party if you want it. Aberrant sorc (heavily spy face stealer) Paladin (melee dpr with some tank) Eldritch knight fighter (Belmont from castlevania style) Evocation wizard We are "4sessions" in but two of those were pre campaign.

Safety

How NOAA creates a safe table

Players can expect a dark fantasy adventure, with plenty of exploration and focus on narrative. A good balance between Exploration, RP and combat. Using maps and content from ProGm Carlos! Themes involve: cults, religions (fantasy), dark rites, murder, conspiracies, hell, demons and devils, profane iconography and magic, evil creatures, corruption, celestials, sin, forgiveness, redemption. I do my best to ensure that none of these topics are overly gratuitous in their presentation or needlessly gruesome in detail. The purpose of tabletop roleplaying games is to have fun experiencing a unique adventure and story together as a collaborative storytelling experience. We will be doing a session zero before beginning the adventure, and I can easily modify descriptions or scenarios as appropriate to avoid content that the party might be uncomfortable with. I use the X-Card safety tool to make sure everyone is safe and having a positive experience during the game. X-Card was created by John Stavropoulos (http://tinyurl.com/x-card-rpg). I have a module in Foundry VTT that makes the use of the safety tools easy and anonymous! While this is an official D&D module is HIGHLY customized. I am using several sources of material from the web, some free, others acquired at the DM's guild. I have heavily incremented the module, including completely re-writing major parts of the story and background surrounding it so it would make better sense. While I maintain character names, art and locations, almost all of it has been re-purposed. There will be high-quality maps in the VTT (made on Dungeondraft) which are not featured in the original book at all, as well as several from the book but with better, more elaborate art. I have also bought many side-content related to this campaign in the form of PDFs and additional maps, so I am able to fill out certain parts of the game and provide options to various types of players. The modified content features additional magic items as well as extra backgrounds, beyond the ones in the original module book. This is a HEAVILY ENHANCED experience of the Descent into Avernus module, which I considered to be necessary for this book to be enjoyable.
