Game style
Roleplay Heavy
“Roleplay Heavy” games place the focus on the story, the characters, and the world they live within, and tend to lean hard into the various roleplaying elements of the game. These games will frequently find the party talking with NPCs, exploring the personal elements of their backstories, or even having emotional moments around the camp fire.

Few DMs have presence like Locrius. From amazing characters to bombastic descriptions, Locrius will pull you into his game world, make you feel like a badass, describe something in an absolutely insane way, and set you up for what will always be an exciting, memorable, and cool encounter. This is all backed up by his amazing voice work, with villains and one-liners that will leave you wishing you had the same talent. Not o mention his sense of aesthetic is superb, leading to interesting visuals and unique ideas. There are few DMs I would suggest to anyone as readily as Locrius.

Locris is my favorite DM and we have enjoyed Many adventures for longer than I care to admit. He is master of building the world and and setting the stage and there is always ample opportunities for roleplaying. He does not just railroad through the adventure. Let your creativity shine and join a game with Locrius as your DM. You wont be sorry!
Additional details
How to prepare
We'll use Discord for voice and video, and a Roll20 for the VTT (both are free). You'll also need a microphone, a webcam is optional but highly encouraged. I'll be using DnDBeyond with the Beyond20 browser extension to send rolls to Roll20; but you can make your character on any platform you like.
What I provide
Vivid descriptions, high-energy narration, colorful NPCs, and cinematic combat. This is an original adventure with custom maps, and hand-picked music and art. This adventure takes place in an original setting tailored to this campaign, players will have the agency to shape this world together. I have master tier on DnDbeyond and a pro Roll20 account and I'm happy to share resources with my players.
Gameplay details
Join me for a high-energy narrative adventure filled with immersive roleplay, and thrilling combat! We’ll use the digital X,N,O safety tools deck in Roll20, and we'll establish Lines and Veils in the session zero You'll start as down-on-your-luck gold miners struggling to scrape by; But over the course of the adventure you'll have the opportunity to strike it rich, uncover mysteries, and make a name for yourself in the mountainous frontier of Frostfall. While there will be some tropes from the old west, this is a fantasy adventure in the classic D&D style. This will be a roleplay heavy campaign; But you can certainly expect combat, chases, skullduggery, dungeoneering, and more!

How will character creation work
We'll be using the 5e 2024 rules. Any published Wizards of the Coast content is fine. Characters will start at 1st level. Don’t worry you’ll gain the first few levels quickly. You’ll probably get to about 10th level by the end of the campaign. Feel free to make your character before we start, or we can make them together in the session zero. We’ll use point buy/standard array. I’m happy to provide pregens as well. I like to run narrative games where the players are at the center of the story. During the session zero we’ll establish bonds between the player characters, as well as npcs. We’ll also establish a reason your characters need gold. Lots and lots of gold!
