About me
Hello there, Somnus (they/sun) here! Writer, Game Designer, Voice Actor, and Gendervoid Entity 🍵🧣. Let me be your guide into countless lands of fantasy, fear, and fun. I love creating evocative worlds for you to experience, which will constantly develop as you interact with it and make meaningful decisions. Uncover the setting through play, face untold dangers, and forge memories you'll hold forever. My tables are friendly to complete beginners—I love teaching people new games and getting you more accommodated to the fun world of TTRPGs.

Creating your character
• During Session 0 we'll establish our safety tools and introduce each other. • We will then create Level 1 characters, using the standard rules, and discuss our connection to each other. • We will then collaborate as we add extra points of interest to a map! • Session 1 is when we dive in and play! • Anyone that joins later or needs a new character, will create a character at the party's current level. Before the next game session, I will have a private discussion with you that substitutes the Session 0 you missed. If you join just before the next session and I don't have enough time to talk to you, you'll skip and join the session after.
Expected Campaign Length: ~35-45 sessions 🖼️ Campaign Frame: Motherboard + titan-gameplay from Colossus of the Drylands. • No experience needed! Beginners are welcome! • All content needed to play is provided. • 🏳️🌈 GM and Game World.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
• Discord account to talk and text. • Free Demiplane account: https://app.demiplane.com/home (This will hold your character sheet) • Free The Forge account: https://forge-vtt.com/ (For our Visuals, Dice Rolls, Battlemaps, and Music) • Clear microphone with either a quiet background or at least push-to-talk. • Encouraged to use a Webcam but it isn't needed. If you do, follow standard video call etiquette. I normally use an animated character to visualise myself instead of a camera. • After joining the game, view the Prep Materials and follow any other instructions. • After joining my discord server, read and click on the 📕 to agree to my community code of conduct otherwise you cannot join the game.

How Somnus Grey creates a safe table
🛡️｜SAFETY TOOLS ・During Session 0 we will discuss Lines and Veils and have an ongoing document for that. ・I also employ the safety tool Script Change ⏯️ by Beau Jágr Sheldon (http://briebeau.com/scriptchange), which replaces X, N, O Cards. ・A 10 minute break will occur roughly halfway through the session. ・Further details of all tool implementations are provided within the discord server. Feel free to ask any questions for clarification.
