About me
Hello!!! You can call me Bells. I am an avid silly goose, I have always been a bit of a jester(hence the name), and I love to play Dungeons and Dragons. I desire my games to be supportive, organic, improvised, and loose to allow for any and all shenanigans. I like players that like to keep it light, donāt mind roleplay, and who put a bit of heart into their characters.

Safety
How Bells on Boots creates a safe table
Please see the community-guidelines thread on the discord. I will go over what too expect before starting the one shot and we can debrief afterwards as well. DM me before session any boundaries or specific things to avoid. I handle the X,N,O via private message, so if during the session you want to pivot a simple 'n' will do! And if it is too intense, a simple 'x' will do. Please also deafen yourself on discord or leave call and I will DM you once safe to rejoin and the scene has changed or stopped!
