What I provide

My games are run almost entirely over Discord, with bots in place to take care of dice rolls and ambient music. Owlbear Rodeo is my VTT of choice, since it is much more streamlined for beginners in relation to other options such as Roll20. I am a very skilled and experienced roleplayer with a background in theater and creative writing, so I will do my best to create a fertile environment for the emergence of powerful roleplay moments and satisfying narratives. If you wish to learn more about my GMing style, check out my profile. I run a homebrewed version of the 5th Edition D&D system, completely compatible with the new rules coming out for the 2024 version of the system, but also containing a lot of rules taken from various different third party soruces and independent homebrew writers (me included), each personally and rigorously translated, balanced, modified, playtested, and documented. Here is what I can promise in my version of the system: - 15 Classes, each offering entirely distinct character fantasies and avenues of mechanical depth; - 67 options for Species (not including subspecies, lineages or ancestries) to allow for all sorts of characters to make themselves into heroes and work through the conflicts that arise due to the circumstances of their bloodline; - A list of pre-set Backgrounds and all the tools to create your own, along with an expanded Feat list, building and expanding upon the options found in the new Player's Handbook; - 1000+ Spells, unlocking the true potential of spellcasters by giving them an arsenal of a scale hitherto unseen; - A reimagined version of the Weapon Mastery system, allowing for a broadening of the versatility and complexity of playing a Martial class, and putting them truly on par with the versatility of classes like the Wizard. - A swathe of general rules tweaks that add mechanical cohesion to the game (especially at higher levels). All of this will be available in a series of channels in my Discord Server. I also have, available for all players, sourcebooks that highlight the rules of the game in their entirety.

Gameplay details

NOTE ON CONTENT WARNINGS The list of trigger/content warnings below is a list of things that will, almost certainly, appear in the game. Other than the things outlined and mentioned below, additional triggering contents may come up during play. To make sure no one is put off by a topic they find sensitive, I always address, before character creation, any possible limits and boundaries, in the form of Lines and Veils, for each player, until we have made a comprehensive list of all things we should avoid in play. More rules regarding safety measures are detailed in the Discord Server in which the game will take place.

How will character creation work

There will be a custom PDF file for Character Sheet Creation, which provides high editability, making it a perfect vehicle for character creation even with the numerous changes to the system I usually employ in my games. The following are the general rules regarding character creation, including general guidelines and variant rules: 🎲𝗥𝗢𝗟𝗟 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗧𝗦! All will roll 4d6 and keep the highest 3 rolls to determine each of the Ability Scores for their characters. Each player gets to roll two sets of results, re-rolling all results below re-rolling the whole set if no results are above 14, and taking the preffered of the two sets. ✨𝗠𝗜𝗟𝗘𝗦𝗧𝗢𝗡𝗘 𝗟𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗚. Experience (XP) is not a used mechanic. All characters level up at the same time when reaching certain milestones in the story. This is also known as Milestone Leveling, and prevents any single player character from getting stronger than any other. 💰𝗠𝗔𝗚𝗜𝗖 𝗜𝗧𝗘𝗠𝗦. You get 3 options for Magic Items your character can start with: A) One uncommon magic item of your choice, excluding the following: Bag of Holding, Broom of Flying, Decanter of Endless Water, Immovable Rod. B) Up to 5 Consumable Points which you can spend to have Consumable Magic Items, like spell scrolls, potions and the like. Commons cost 1, Uncommons cost 2, and Rares cost 3. Nothing above Rare allowed. C) One Rare Magic Item of MY choosing. The item is cursed, and the curse will be tailored to your character. ⚔️ 𝗣𝗟𝗔𝗬𝗔𝗕𝗟𝗘 𝗖𝗟𝗔𝗦𝗦𝗘𝗦. Artificer, Barbarian, Bard, Cleric, Druid, Fighter, Monk, Paladin, Psion, Ranger, Rogue, Shaman, Sorcerer, Warlock/Witch, and Wizard.
