About me
Hey! My name is Michael, and I love creating worlds, building characters, and telling stories. I also like hosting games with a good balance of RP and combat. I love seeing what kind of shenanigans players can come up with and trying to create genuinely heartfelt moments in the games. If you're looking to push the boundaries of what you can accomplish as a player, I want to play with you.

Michael has been a very kind and patient DM for a bunch of newbies - helping us understand the rules and navigate interactions without dying immediately - and his descriptions and voices have been great -- I'm always completely engrossed into the world :) Would definitely recommend!!

Michael has been great! My 1st real campaign in dnd & first time trying it online. He is great for beginner players and creates an environment where you can ask questions and not feel silly. Also, the rule of cool is true & he makes your ideas play out.

Michael was a great DM for my session with him. He progressed the plot along at a comfortable pace making sure that the party was neither being rushed along nor waiting unnecessarily for the next encounter to occur. He played the NPCs humorously and differing from each other, I always knew who I was talking to and what type of character they were going to be from the way they spoke and the movements that they made. Great session 5/5 stars.
Character creation
Creating your character
PREMADE CHARACTER SHEETS AVAILABLE ON REQUEST Characters start out at level 1. All official classes and species are welcome. Homebrew species and classes need DM permission. Character sheets will be made on DnD Beyond. We will be using milestone leveling, no encumbrance. If you've never built a character before, don't worry. I will walk you through the process during Session 0.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You will need a webcam and microphone, as well as accounts for Google Meets and DnD Beyond. Characters can be created ahead of time, or we can create them together during Session 0.
What Michael brings to the table
I will be hosting the game using a combination of DND Beyond and Google Meet. I have access to most source books, and am willing to go find more if a player has a character idea. I do character voices to help me keep the various NPCs straight in my head. I think they're pretty good, but I'll let you be the judge. I have never hosted a session with ambient music before, and would like to experiment with it this campaign. If it isn't working we will adjust. In general, I tend to lean more "Rule of Cool." I strongly encourage players to attempt shenanigans. I tend to use the rules as a guideline to keep storytelling consistent and more unpredictable, as opposed to a rigid set of limitations on what characters can and cannot do.

How Michael creates a safe table
In Session 0, we will be sure to have a moment to go over any triggers or sources of discomfort players have so I can avoid them during gameplay. I will maintain an open door policy for any player who has concerns during games. I will also provide a post-session talk where layers can bring up any concerns they have.
