Game style

Rule of Cool (RoC)

“Rule of Cool” emphasizes creative story beats over sticking to a system’s rules as written. Players have the ability to push the limits of the rules or even break core rule mechanics at times if the Game Master thinks it is interesting, fun, or cool enough.

Combat Heavy

“Combat Heavy” games emphasize the combat mechanics within their systems over roleplay or puzzle solving. There are frequent and longer battles with enemies and a greater emphasis on tactical game play.

Dungeon Crawl

A “Dungeon Crawl” is a scenario where players navigate a dungeon or labyrinth-like environment for the entirety of the adventure. It emphasizes battling monsters, collecting loot, and avoiding traps to survive to the end!

Roleplay Heavy

“Roleplay Heavy” games place the focus on the story, the characters, and the world they live within, and tend to lean hard into the various roleplaying elements of the game. These games will frequently find the party talking with NPCs, exploring the personal elements of their backstories, or even having emotional moments around the camp fire.

How to prepare

Players should come to session 0 with a working mic and having joined the discord server and D&D beyond campaign. I ask though not mandatory players use webcams and read through my homebrew rules I’ve posted to the discord server. Finally players should be prepared and ready for some fun!

What I provide

With nearly a decade of experience as both a DM and a player, I bring a wealth of knowledge and dedication to creating an unforgettable experience. To enhance our campaign, I’ll be utilizing a dedicated D&D server on Discord, providing a central hub for all campaign-related discussions and resources. Through D&D Beyond, I will share access to all the D&D books I own, ensuring players have everything they need to fully engage with the game. To elevate the atmosphere, I will also incorporate immersive music via Discord, helping to set the mood for key moments throughout our sessions. For visual aids, I will use customized maps on Owlbear rodeo to bring the world to life, along with personalized tokens for each player to represent your characters on the battlefield. All of these elements are designed to immerse you in the adventure and ensure that every session feels dynamic, engaging, and memorable.

Gameplay details

Session 0 will be held free of charge and will be our first session, where I can discuss expectation, both mine and the players, we will then Our first session will serve as Session 0, where we’ll set expectations—both mine and the players'. I will send players a rpg consent checklist and will ask all player to complete the checklist by session 1 i will compile a master consent checklist and post that in the campaign chat on discord to stay available to all players. We will then start by discussing safety tools i use to ensuring everyone feels comfortable. I’ll also introduce the homebrew rules I use in my campaigns. Next, we’ll finalize character creation together and address any last-minute concerns or adjustments, making sure everyone is ready to dive into the adventure. During gameplay, I’ll incorporate 1-2 breaks depending on session length and player preferences. I also have an open table policy—if a player needs to step away or pause a scene, that’s completely okay, and they can return when they’re ready. I aim to create an environment where everyone feels safe and comfortable, so I work to avoid any content that might make players feel uncomfortable. I have a Stars and Wishes channel on my discord server always available. Lastly, I’ll host a debriefing after each session, gathering feedback on the campaign and the session’s flow so we can keep improving the experience together
