About me

Hi, intrepid heroes! My name is Aiman, a Professional Game Master based in Malaysia! 🤙🏻🧙🏻‍♂️ I've been dungeoning dragons for the better part of 9 years. Four years ago, I thought I'd dig into that deeper hole of GMing just for kicks and giggles; I haven't seen the sun since...💀 I've had players sleuth, slay, stab, swashbuckle, sing, and scared shitless through Eberron's Noire 🔎, the Forgotten Realms' Fantasy 🐲, and Wildemount's majesty 👑. On top of that, I regularly plunder lore and loot ideas from many a medium, from classic fantasy novels a la Lord of the Rings, to kickass actual play shows like Dimension 20, to movies like that one about that galaxy that's really far from here 💫 All worlds, genres, and folks are welcome! 🤝🏻😊🏳️‍🌈

Aiman always keeps me on my toes. I never know what to expect out of game with him. I I have been playing D&D for a while and he's the best. I look forward to everyone of his sessions with my other players.

If your new Aiman will take the time to bring you up to speed so that you can enjoy the encounters and the great story telling. He is also great at handling a group of player going off the rail. All I can say is because of his DM skills I'm in it for the long haul.

Excellent DM for experienced and inexperienced players. Supplies all the resources needed to build a character in D&D Beyond, then does an great job creating the world for the characters to quest in. Does well in giving the NPCs personalities and their own unique voices and keeps combat moving while allowing for creative uses of spells and abilities.

I joined Toast's Blades in the Dark campaign at the start of "season 2." I deeply appreciated that before I even joined for game play, that Toast took some time with me for character creation and to fill me in a little bit about where the crew was at. From there, I was able to play my first game and test out the waters to see if it was the right fit for me and the current crew. Glad to say it was and that Toast ran a table that felt both inclusive, safe, and welcoming. I'm currently 5 games in to playing with Toast and I look forward to it weekly. Along with the attentiveness and care made towards players, Toast is also an incredibly creative and talented incorporating different voices that really helps build characters and the world. As a player, you'll be encouraged to bring in your own creativity and world ideas if you so choose. I would recommend Toast as a GM in a heartbeat. So come jump in and have some fun!

Character creation
Creating your character

Player characters will advance from 1st to 13th level by campaign's end. Players will be scheduled for exclusive calls for rolling sheets and basic discussions of the game/setting. The "Heroic Chronicle" character creation system from the "Explorer's Guide to Wildemount" will be used for establishing backstory. In the case that you join the campaign less than 48 hours from a session, you will be provided a pre-generated character for that week's session. A guided character creation call will be scheduled at some point in the following week.

The current party

New weekly campaign, every Friday, 12.00PM GMT+1. New players will be added to the game server upon approval and are encouraged to discuss their character ideas with the group. They will then be scheduled for an extensive and guided one-on-one character creation call after session 0, or before their first group session if session 0 has already occurred.

What to expect
Preparing for the session

Mics are a must; text will only be used for sharing notes. You will need DnD Beyond and Discord accounts, for rolling character sheets and group voice/video/text chat respectively. Our virtual tabletop for maps and illustrations will be Owlbear Rodeo.

What DM Toast brings to the table

- Sourcebooks and character options on DnD Beyond - Custom-made maps via Dungeon Alchemist, or licensed maps via dedicated digital artists. - Curated soundtracks and music for background ambience in-game. - All the abovementioned elements will be hosted via the Owlbear Virtual Table Top and Discord.

Safety
How DM Toast creates a safe table

This Critical Role campaign aims for a PG-13 content rating. Scenes of violence will be depicted, coarse language may be used by both in game characters and players, and some mature subject matter may be broached. If you have any questions or concerns about either the content of the adventure or the safety tools in use, feel free to message or schedule a call with me as soon as possible. Your comfort is the most important thing to me as a DM.
