About me

I have been Dungeon master since the red box...I have played, D&D basics, 2nd edition, 3rd edition, Pathfinder...Sorry i skiped the 4th edition... I am new to Online play, but more than ready. I have invested more than 500 hrs in mastering Foudry VTT. I need players to get on board for a quite a ride. So far, i have completed 3 campains using Foundry vtt. I want my D&D to be challenging, entertaining and adult. I also insist on providing storytelling that is faithful, consistent with lore, rules, and world that came from the minds of multiples creators. Forgotten Realm is my playground, i am willing to play any campaign in this world. My DMing style : i love both great combat and roleplay. I think fantasy is about swords clashing and great villains. Were now being inspired by Game of throne more than Lord of The Ring. I take pride in organizing exciting encounters, using terrain features, and lighting. But also try to provide player with opportunities to use the full range of their character skills. I think the 5th edition shines because of the action system, and the magic mechanics which is efficient expansive...simply better. Finally, i also have been affected by the Mercer effect: I don’t claim getting close to his skill level, no one can, but he certainly is my inspiration. I have capacity to bring theatrical performance, if you are looking for more than just dungeon crawl. I know some of you of read «experienced DM» with scepticism, but i can guarantee you...you will feel to full extent of it. I am searching players for campains and on shots. I think you should consider me seriously to become your chosen DM! ______________________________________________________________________ Je suis DM depuis la boîte rouge...j'ai été DM à D&D Basic, 2e édition, 3e édition, Pathfinder... Je recrute des joueurs du Québec ou de la francophonie pour des parties en Français. Dans un monde idéal, réunissez des groupes d'amis et contactez-moi pour faire des sessions de jeu privées. J'ai jusqu'ici complété 3 campagnes de Donjon&dragon (sessions publques), toutes en français, en utilisant le tabletop foundry VTT. Cette plateforme est simplement la meilleure et la plus puissante pour Donjon&dragon. Son et images tout y est. Je passe énormément de temps à préparer mes sessions de jeu. (vous en avez pour votre argent...) Commençons par D&D, mais on pourrait s'aventurer dans l'Univers de Lovecraft et possiblement les Vampires... Joueurs francophones, contactez-moi !

Je m'appelle PatBiss, je connais Hugo depuis plus de trente ans. Nous sommes réunis par cette passion irrésistible du D&D depuis ses débuts, depuis les années 1980. J'ai depuis ce temps toujours travaillé avec lui et cela sur la base des tout premiers ouvrages publiés par D&D. Dans son profil, il a oublié de dire qu'il a été l'organisateur principal d'une organisation médiévale durant plus de 10 ans. Il a su comprendre l'essence de ces activités à un tel point qu'il a su créer entièrement seul un système aussi personnalisé et équilibré que possible. Chacun de ses 120 participants ont su créer leur propre personnage en respectant leur préférence personnel, tant au niveau statistique que culturel. Nous avons œuvré durant plusieurs années dans ce système. Nous ne lui avons apporté aucune modification, et ce n'est pas parce que nous manquions de sens critique. Ce système inédit était tout simplement parfait en son genre. Étant donné la complexité que cela représentait au tout départ, j'ai dû admettre comme plusieurs qu'il s'agissait là d'un exploit. Les 120 joueurs ont pour la plupart développé un attachement profond à nos activités et aux membres de notre organisation. J'ai connus la totalité de mes amis actuels grâce aux activités organisés par Hugo Langlois Hugo est aussi la personne la plus franche que je connaisse et ses capacités de leader sont incontestables. Le prix de 15$ qu'il demande pour participer à ses parties D&D est dérisoire étant donné ses très grandes compétences. Ce prix modique témoigne simplement de son intérêt a vous encourager de vous joindre à nous. S'il parvenait à gagner sa vie par la voie de cette passion d'être maître de jeu D&D, cela signifie à mon sens un très bon remède contre l'ennuie dans l'avenir. Je sais pertinemment que je vais toujours attendre sa prochaine game avec impatience.

The following words come to mind when I think of Hugo as a DM: Setting the right mood, patient and engaged, able to gage how to make every scene a delightful challenge and most importantly, his passion for the game and being a DM. For every hour of gameplay, he will spend at least 2-3 hours preparing before the game - ensuring objects, macros, sound/visual effects are there for all to enjoy during the game. He can easily adapt to any type of players, let them be beginner up to seasoned players. He also have a few house rules that makes and keep things simple at first. His adventure are always a nice balance of combat, quest and roleplay - while providing a lot of supporting documentations/images in the adventure so you know what is on the letter or know what the individual you're talking to looks like. For all these reasons, I highly recommend Hugo as your DM for a one-shot, a small or even a long campaign. 5 Stars (5*)

Hugo puts a ton of work into making the session fun, challenging and well-tuned to the player characters. I've been gaming with Hugo for months now and his challenging combats, interactive storytelling and beautifully crafted maps keep me coming back. Thanks Hugo!

Really enjoyed the session and the other players. Haven't played in a long while and this was a good refresher. Foundry was fun, maps and sounds were thematic and engaging. Would recommend this GM!

Character creation
Creating your character

We will discuss character creation in a free session zero. The point of this campain is to test the new D&D 2024 rules. This campain starts at level one : we learn the basics about this fresh set of rules, and players must learn how to use Foundry VTT

The current party

Il s'agit de Donjnon &dragon 2024 en français. Écrivez-moi en privé au besoin.

What to expect
Preparing for the session

You will need a good microphone. Camera is strongly recommended to make it a real social event. A hard copy of players handbook is handy but not required. D&D beyond's free content includes everything a player needs to play. (being linked to my campain you have access to players handbook...) Note : D&D beyond cell app is fantastic, but does not make a bridge with the virtual table top (Foundry VTT). All rolls, notes, hit points will be managed in Foudry VTT. You must create your FREE player account on the Forge : https://forge-vtt.com/ This Utube player's guide, will teach you how to use Foundry VTT https://youtu.be/l2iRZ42fcJ0 15 mins, before the game start, log on the Foudry VTT invitation and play with menus... Further instructions will be sent after you joined the adventure.
