The campaign blends dungeon delving, roleplaying, and thrilling combat, with plenty of room for character growth and player-driven choices.

About me
Name: SirWaltonOfSmeg Age: 35 Location: Midlands, UK Family: Husband, father of two girls Hobbies & Interests: Fantasy, RPGs, sports, and all things nerdy DM Philosophy: Fun First: My games are about creating memorable stories and having a laugh. Rules exist to guide the game, but the story and enjoyment always take priority. Creativity Rewarded: Players who bring flair, great descriptions, and cinematic moments to the table earn inspiration or other in-game rewards. Blend of RAW & Homebrew: I use official sourcebooks as a foundation but love incorporating homebrew content to fit my world and players’ ideas. Roleplay Encouraged: Whether you're a seasoned actor or just dipping your toes into character development, I support roleplay with engaging NPCs and immersive storytelling. Game Style: Narrative-Driven Adventures: While I enjoy a good tactical combat, my games shine when players engage with the world and each other. A Mix of Serious & Silly: Expect epic quests and deep lore alongside moments of pure chaos and humour. Dynamic Encounters: Enemies act with intelligence, terrain matters, and players are encouraged to think outside the box. Preferred Settings & Systems: D&D 5e: My go-to, with a mix of official modules and homebrew campaigns. Homebrew Worlds: I love building unique settings tailored to my players’ choices. Other RPGs: Open to running different systems like Call of Cthulhu, Blades in the Dark, or Cyberpunk RED. Table Rules & Expectations: Respect the Table: Everyone’s here to have fun. Be kind, be fair, and let everyone have their moment. Engage with the World: The more you interact, the more alive the game becomes. Rule of Cool: If you have an idea that sounds awesome, let’s make it happen (within reason). Teamwork Over PvP: I love inter-party conflict for storytelling, but outright betrayal isn't my style unless everyone is on board. Final Thoughts: Whether you're a dice-rolling veteran or brand new to TTRPGs, I strive to make my games a place where imagination thrives, stories unfold, and everyone leaves the table with a tale to tell.
