About me
Hail and well-met adventurer! I'm Chris, a long time Game Master (GM) here on Startplaying.games focusing on my lifelong passion: Dungeons and Dragons (D&D). For over 36 years, the fun of leading the heroic good guys through adventure and the endless possibilities therein has drawn me to D&D. Join me! Let's build an epic cooperative story together!
View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
◆ 2024 D&D Player's Handbook only. ◆ Make a 1st-level player character (PC) by either Standard Array (15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8) or 27 Point Cost. ◆ Level that character to 4th level using static class Hit Points (No rolling for Hit Points) and your starting wealth is 1,000gp. ◆ After accounting for your starting equipment, your remaining wealth may be kept as gold or used to purchase non-magical equipment from the 2024 Player's Handbook (including potions of healing, PHB p223, 228) or used to buy select magic items from my curated magic item list on my Discord server. ◆ Encumbrance rules are used. ◆ Feats and multiclassing are allowed. ◆ Only select official Dungeons and Dragons 5e hardcover content is permitted. ◆ Your character's back story should fit handwritten on one side of a 3”x5” index card. Let’s explore their backstory together in the adventure. ◆ I'm pretty fair in character creation, but I reserve the right to approve/decline player characters anytime.
Open to join anytime with very welcoming players. All characters are 7th level. Our adventuring party currently consists of: 8th level - goliath - barbarian - path of the world tree 8th level - dragonborn - druid - circle of stars 8th level - elf - 7th level warlock - celestial patron/1st level paladin
