What I provide

First and foremost, I am excited with the prospect of living an incredible journey with each table, and I’ll be thrilled to have you here. Let’s start with the most important rule of all: the Rule of Fun. The goal is for everyone at this table to enjoy themselves, whether we’re navigating epic battles, uncovering dark secrets, or laughing over some absurd turn of events. If it’s fun and it fits the moment, we’ll roll with it—pun intended. Now, let’s talk about immersion. This game is at its best when we all do our part to bring it to life. Embody your character as much as you can—whether through their thoughts, actions, or speech. Don’t feel pressured to do a voice if that’s not your thing, but stay in character when addressing the world around you, the NPCs, or the other PCs. Every little effort adds to the atmosphere, making the story more vivid and engaging for everyone. Being on online game, I put a lot of effort in the atmosphere with fitting visuals, musics and sounds. For every scene, the tone is set with well crafter narated introductions. I spend too much time for my own good finding perfect musics for my games (music addict, guilty as charged). When I plan a combat, I focus on two things: - Does it serve the story, the atmosphere and the stakes ? - Is it fun to play (which includes balance) ? - What kind of twist can I use on this one ? (I said two things ?) As for the story, even if I take inspiration in different existing contents, each game is different as I always draw elements for the PC's backstories. Speaking of Backstory, I am always amazed by what you folks can come up with ! But if you lack the time, or inspiration, I will work with you to tailor a character that you want to be invested in !

Gameplay details

We all dive into TTRPGs for one ultimate reason—to have a great time. To ensure that happens, Session 0 is essential. I will always be upfront about what you can expect from my games and give you the space to share your expectations, desires, and any concerns you might have. I also love post-session debriefs, as they not only extend the adventure beyond the table but also provide a chance to discuss the pacing, content, and group dynamic openly. With the sheer variety of games and styles available today, everyone can find the experience they’re looking for. Because of that, I believe in mutual fit—if I feel that a player’s expectations are too far from what I can confidently provide, I’d rather part ways respectfully than force a mismatch. The goal is to create a table where everyone is engaged, immersed, and excited to be part of the story.

How will character creation work

Character Creation will happen Post Session 1 (Session 0s). In the frozen wilds of Icewind Dale, survival favors the bold, the strong, and the cunning. But before you carve your legend into the ice, we must first shape the essence of your character—your very strengths and weaknesses. Here’s how we do it: You will roll 4d6, six times. For each roll, drop the lowest die and sum up the rest—that's one of your six ability scores. Repeat this process three times, forging three different sets of stats. But fate has more than just your hands at play—I, as your GM, will roll a fourth set myself. Once the dice have spoken, you will have four sets of stats to choose from. Pick the one that calls to you, and distribute the numbers however you see fit across Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma. Will you be a hardened warrior, unshaken by the storm? A silver-tongued rogue, slipping through the cracks? Or something else entirely? The dice will whisper your potential, but the choice of who you become is yours. Roll well, adventurer, for at my table, we believe in the will of the Dice as they always find a way to tell a great tale. Races and Classes can be rolled as well, but if a player has a clear idea of something they would love to play, I am down. My only restriction is to make it make sense within the world and setting. But I am very open minded about creativity. That being said, all things available will be limited to the Player Handbook content, as well as Tasha's content for a seemless integration to Foundry.
