Discover the Storm King's Thunder

Creating your character

I like to have Character creation to be done at session zero. What I can tell you is that you should have a character in mind if not it's ok that's what session zero is for.

Preparing for the session

Things players should have downloaded or bookmarked before session zero is Discord, D&D Beyond, and Roll20. All these tools will be critical for having a fun experience. Other things they should think about is making sure the mic works and that they have a read some of the rules before starting. I understand beginners won't truly understand but that's where I can help figure out those gaps so you don't feel overwhelmed.

What Zeraphicx brings to the table

🎭 My GM Style & What to Expect 🔥 Balanced Playstyle: I blend Rules as Written (RAW) with Rule of Cool (RoC)—keeping the game fair while allowing epic moments that fit the story and the spirit of D&D. If it makes sense and is awesome, we’ll find a way to make it work! 🗣️ Roleplay-Friendly Atmosphere: I encourage character-driven storytelling and let player choices shape the world. I do character voices when appropriate but only if players are comfortable with them. Not comfortable with voice acting? No worries! Play how you like—whether fully in-character or just describing what your character does. ⚔️ Tactical Combat with Strategy & Depth: I utilize detailed battlemaps and encourage creative strategies. Combat is fast-paced but tactical, where positioning, teamwork, and smart decisions make a difference. Boss fights & legendary foes feel cinematic, challenging, and rewarding. 🎶 Ambience & Music for an Immersive Experience: I use background music and ambient sounds to set the tone. Storms rolling in? You’ll hear the thunder. Deep caves? The echoes will surround you. Every setting has a unique feel, making the world feel alive. 🛡️ Player Comfort & Safety Session 0 to set expectations & customize the game to the group. X, N, O Cards for in-game comfort. Stars & Wishes for post-game feedback. Breaks included so we can step away when needed. Aftercare check-ins for emotionally heavy sessions. 🏆 Why Play in This Game? ✅ A balanced mix of roleplay, combat, and adventure. ✅ A DM who listens to players & adapts the story to your choices. ✅ An immersive world with music, character voices, and custom maps. ✅ A respectful, fair, and engaging game that welcomes all experience levels. Whether you’re a veteran adventurer or brand new to D&D, you’ll find a home at this table. 🚀 Ready to become a legend? Join the adventure today!

Homebrew rules

Homebrew Rules are established in Session Zero because I have players that have different preferrences.

How Zeraphicx creates a safe table

📝 Session 0 – Setting Expectations & Boundaries Before we begin our adventure, we'll have a Session 0 to go over: ✅ What kind of game this will be (tone, theme, and playstyle). ✅ Content warnings and what we want to avoid (Lines & Veils). ✅ Player preferences for roleplay, combat, and exploration. ✅ Party cohesion—how your characters will work together. This session is about making sure everyone is on the same page and setting up a game where you feel excited to play. From there I will go into more detail on safety features that are available to all players. So the game stays fun and enjoyable for everyone without disrupting immersion to much.
