The more creative you get with your combat, the better your chances to survive and thrive. Employ teamwork and showmanship for a hungry crowd and salivating sponsors, eager to shower you with weapons, potions, and magic items.
Game style
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!
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.

Completed a one shot with Casey. He quickly set the stage and got each player involved immediately. Casey did a great job introducing NPCs including great voice acting for each. He knows the rules very well. Great mix of role playing and fighting. Definitely would play with Casey as GM again.

Casey was a great GM and I would love to play again with them if I have time. Great story telling and environment, fun characters (I will miss Lugrod!), and well balanced combat. The did one of the Slaydium games, which was more combat focused, but he would be a great GM for a roleplaying game as well.

Casey is an absolute powerhouse of a DM! Their voice acting brings every NPC to life, one moment you're chatting with mysterious Greek lady, the next you're terrified of a whispering eldritch horror. The immersion is chef’s kiss! And when combat rolls around? Smooth, snappy, and deadly efficient. No slogging through endless turns just pure, tactical excitement. If you're looking for a DM who balances storytelling and action like a pro, Casey is the one to beat!

Worthwhile GM, makes it a prerogative to make you feel including even if you only joined halfway through the campaign.
Additional details
How to prepare
A mic is required, a webcam is helpful but not required. Players will need (free) accounts on Roll20, DnDBeyond, and Discord to have full access to everything for the game. Players should have an approved PC ready before our first game, and be familiar with D&D5e rules. We *are* compatible with 2024 rules as well.
What I provide
Custom maps, access to Roll20 and DnDBeyond, my personal Discord channel, and 'cheat sheets' for those needing the rules. My storytelling is *immersive*. I use cinematic music & sound, dramatic storytelling, and recorded cut-scenes to produce a truly unforgettable gaming experience. Slaydium Games is all about *combat*, and plenty of it. You'll be in the fight for your life within the first hour of gameplay. We allow home-brewed classes so long as they're not broken, and the Rule of Cool frequently prevails if it helps the story.
Gameplay details
We'll be talking on my Discord where I'll share a Lines & Veils sheet specifically for Slaydium Games. (I already use it in the one-off version of the game.)

How will character creation work
Players can build a level five adventurer, with plenty of opportunities to level up. The game is *brutal* but rewarding. PCs can be set up on DnDBeyond, for use on Roll20 with the Beyond20 browser add-on. Home-brew classes have been fine so far, and are subject to approval.
