About me
Hey there! I'm Rafael! I've been a DM since I was 13, 12 years ago! I'm all for creativity and working together to craft an awesome story for everyone at the table to enjoy!

Creating your character
*Character Creation* - Level 1 - 10, 12, 12, 14, 16, 18 Stat Array *You may drop any stat by 2 to raise any stat by 1. This can be done once. - One Free Feat on Creation! - Rolled Hp on Level Up. If the roll is lower than the average, take the average. Your character will begin on a caravan heading to the small town of Greenest. Think about why your character is on this caravan. Are they a guard? are they a simple passenger? Or are they someone more important? We will work together on your backstory and different ties you'll have to this world! Be creative!
Currently we are at 3 players. An Orc Paladin/Warlock, A Dhampir Rogue, A Shadow Goblin Cleric of Mask. We have finished Hoard of The Dragon Queen and are moving onto Rise of Tiamat. Your character will be joining the party as either a member of the Harpers, The Order of the Gauntlet, The Emerald Enclave, The Lords' Alliance, The Zhentarim, or an individual who refuses to see Tiamat in power. Currently the party is around level 7
What to expect
Preparing for the session
The game will be hosted on Discord. Mic necessary. Webcam highly recommended and encouraged!! FoundryVTT does not require you to have an account, just an internet connection :) We will work together to make your backstory and character in Foundry ahead of time. Basic knowledge of D&D 5e required!
What Rafael brings to the table
I aim to bring you guys an immersive game with great roleplay and engaging combat that makes you think and plan rather than walk and swing. The game will be hosted on FoundryVTT where I have made: - Every NPC and Creature's statblock and tokens - Beautiful maps with effects - Playlists of music that'll fit every situation The game will also be hosted over discord video call. While tactical combat and rules go hand in hand, I also love creativity and unique ways to tackle situations. Don't be afraid to try something crazy, I may just let you.

How Rafael creates a safe table
I aim to make sure all my players are having fun and feeling comfortable. While this game may get intense at times, I will make sure there are tools in place for everyone to be safe! - Aftercare and Debriefing: Game will end with us talking about how the session went. This is a perfect time to bring up anything you may not have felt 100% comfortable with. - Breaks: A good 5-10 minute break at least once per session will be had to make sure everyone has a bathroom break and gets water/snacks. - Open Door: If for any reason you need to step out, you may with no judgement. - Direct Messaging or Callout: If something is not comfortable you may either say so directly or directly message me during session. Whatever you feel most comfortable with as there will be no judgement. - Session 0: we will hold a session 0 to discuss the game, characters, and anything you would like us to know!
