Why join? 🔥No two sessions are the same: Avernus is alive with shifting alliances, hidden treasures, and deadly surprises. 🔥Your choices matter: Save the Hells… or rule them. 🔥Inclusive & welcoming: Bring your creativity, and I’ll handle the rest.

Game style
Theater of the Mind
“Theater of the Mind” uses little to no visuals for scene settings and combat. Instead, the narrative imagery comes from the Game Master’s descriptions and character action and movement comes from Players’ descriptions.
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.
Rules as Written (RaW)
Games that are ran “Rules as Written” emphasize realism and stick to the letter of the rules, allowing players to explore creative solutions while still operating under a consistent rule set. Players have the ability to utilize the rules in creative ways to create awesome characters and moments in the game.
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.

I've really enjoyed all of the sessons ive played in Incubus games and I'm in three of his games! I'm still a new player to DnD but they always been patient with me and I think they are an amazing DM! They are really good at storytelling and helping with character building making sure your character feels like a part of the world and the story. They also give people in game options for RP and gives everyone a chance at the table so no one feels left out. If your new or a Veteran I highly recommend Incubus as a DM you won't be disappointed!

Fairly new to the world of DnD but Incubus has been an outstanding DM, his storytelling and weaving the players stories in the world itself is truly worth it. He makes all players feel welcomed and involved in the creation of his stories, and cant emphasize enough on what a great DM Incubus is for new and returning players.

I recommend creating deep character stories that I can weave into the world, adding depth to the narrative and enhancing the overall storytelling experience.

Gameplay details
I prioritize the safety and comfort of all players by implementing safety tools. Before we start the campaign, I'll provide a link to the Lines and Veils document. This document allows players to specify any themes or topics they prefer to avoid or approach with caution. Our Session 0 is dedicated to discussing the Lines and Veils document in detail, as well as going over player boundaries and preferences. For newer players, Session 0 also includes an explanation of how the game mechanics work and what to expect during the campaign. After each session, I practice aftercare by checking in with players to gather feedback. This feedback helps me improve the gaming experience and address any concerns or suggestions from the players. Additionally, I have a few rules in place to ensure a positive and respectful gaming environment, including zero tolerance for harassment. These rules are aimed at ensuring everyone has a good time and promote basic principles of being a decent human being, such as kindness and respect for others.
