Sets the Mood
Nodra is a GM that allows you to play a character to their fullest extent. He gives you personalized mini side-quests, objectives, items, connections with NPCs that make sense in the world you play in. He personalizes the world to the characters that play in them to great detail. Overall, incredibly good GM to have!
Very good campaign. We did phandelver from start to finish. Nodra was always attentive to any questions we had and was willing to help bring in any 3rd party content. The foundry set up was nice and had a lot of nice macros added. The battles were dynamic and the npc were fun to interact with. Recommend Nodra, especially if you’re a new player or want a relaxed campaign.
Character creation
Creating your character
✔ As your GM, I will help you get set up a character before your first session. Character sheets are managed in foundry. ✔ Take a couple of sessions to get a feel and form an idea of how to build out your background and find some common ground. ✔ Session zero is used to get into the game, meet your fellow adventurers, and to make sure we are all on the same page.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
✔ Sign up to Discord, this tool is used as our means of communication, during sessions and outside of them. ✔ Make sure you have a good system to run it all, Foundry does prefer a mouse and keyboard to function. ✔ Set up a good mic, setup in a place where you can avoid background noise. ✔ Get in contact, so I can set you up on Foundry and get rolling.
What Nodra brings to the table
✔ Supplements by Limithron, Creators of Pirate Borg, provided a conversion of their naval combat to 5e, bringing you a more engaging experience. ✔ Expanded story arcs by Pyramking, ports from older adventures within the setting. Providing ample hooks and events for your backstory. ✔ A story to play, and a drive to keep you on the edge of your seat wanting more.

How Nodra creates a safe table
We'll be running an extended campaign from levels 1-15, combining official content with carefully curated expansions to create a seamless narrative experience. The system is D&D 5th Edition, utilizing both core rules and nautical supplements by Limithron to bring the coastal setting to life. This campaign is ideal for players who value immersive storytelling and want to be part of a story where their character's past echoes through the session. Some experience with 5e and a commitment to regular attendance are preferred. Interested in charting these dangerous waters? Reach out with a brief introduction to reserve your spot at the table.
