About the adventure
Working nine to five is a heck of a way to make a living - especially when your work involves dealing with HR complaints from the Nine Hells, removing hexes on the Company's stock, and investigating occult corporate espionage! Welcome to THE COMPANY, an enormous, hugely profitable mega-corporation set in a modern-day twist on The Forgotten Realms. On your first day you'll meet your co-workers, form an "Adventuring Party" (an archaic term for a company taskforce), and be assigned a variety of missions that will see you investigating the seedy underbelly of a modern metropolis, making deals with devils, and travelling across the multiverse...! On public transportation, of course. THE COMPANY isn't made of money, after all! As you complete missions, a large-scale interconnected mystery will slowly emerge. Take matters into your own hands and shape the future of the city, the planet, and - most importantly of all - THE COMPANY! I am thrilled to be running this campaign again. I have run it twice before and both times lead to some of the most memorable, magical memories I have had playing tabletop games. A Session 0 will establish some base information about what players can expect, what they want from the game, and what they are comfortable with. I have thousands of hours of GMing experience under my belt and have been enjoying the hobby since I was a teenager. I am happy to take into consideration exactly what players want from the game, the level of expected difficulty, the level of help players would like with the mysteries, and the level of complexity and danger to expect from Combat. I err towards "less frequent but deadlier" than most tables, but as previously stated am happy to adjust. Based on the whims of the party, the game can include novel new mechanics based on downtime activities, working overtime, making rent, and forging friendships. In addition to being a GM, I am a game designer with several TTRPGs under my belt, so enjoy incorporating fun new mechanics and game elements where appropriate. We will be using the 2024 rules for Dungeons and Dragons. I will provide each player with a PDF as well as form-fillable character sheets. Depending on how familiar players are with the game, I am happy to provide help with character creation/builds, backstory, and the general coming-to-terms with the gameplay system. This game is 100% LGBTQ+ friendly! The exact time and frequency of play can be discussed with players during a Session 0 to make sure it is easy and doable for everyone.

About me
Game designer and enjoyer! have been playing and making game for a while, successfully funding my first original TTRPG a couple years back. Love creating deep, complex, and mysterious plots featuring plenty of political intrigue. I like to give my players plenty of opportunities for character-expression in-game and foster interesting group dynamics. There's no better feeling to me than when players get lost in a world! I have GM'd many, many games including live comedy shows to an audience, and longform on a podcast. Talk to me if you're into the idea of crafting a fun, intriguing, and cathartic story together!

Creating your character
We will use Standard Array for character creation (which I will explain if you're not clear). We will be using the 2024 rules, and I am happy to discuess character building and making sure you create a useful character even if you're a new player!
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Please have a microphone, acess to Discord, and Roll20. I will provide players with form-fillable PDFs. Webcam usage is optional, but I think makes the game more fun.
What Will D brings to the table
I will provide PDFs for the game, along with form-fillable character sheets.
Homebrew rules
As the game takes place over several months working at a company, Long Rests occur at the weekends and Short Rests occur every night. There are a few homebrew rules to manage stress, burnout, and making rent.

How Will D creates a safe table
During a session 0, we will discuss any and all topics that players would prefer are off limits, or the ways in which they would like certain topics covered. I am available to contact at any time between sessions in case players remember something they forgot to mention, or would like to discuss something with me.
