About the adventure
Ahoy! Welcome to a roleplay-focused, player driven, episodic pirate adventure. Traveling the high seas and being the master of one's own destiny means nothing if not variety - your quest might take you to vampire's castle one week, and a bank heist the next. Some stories might span many sessions, while others are done in a single day. Which are important? Why, all of them of course! All levels of experience are welcome. We'll be starting at level 3 using milestone leveling, and will be running a session 0 to build characters and fit them into the homebrewed world. Speaking of which... ☠️🐉⚓🐉☠️ The war between the zealous Holy Stermic Empire and the wizarding United Stermic Federation has spilled into the New World. It has led to suffering and displacement for the native Bullywugs and Aarakocra from their tropical homeland, and opportunity for enterprising swashbucklers... In the shadows of ruins, jungles, and empire, pirates compete for glory and gold. Many an adventurer has risen to greatness on the waves of the Beloron sea, and you had hoped to do the same. Unfortunately, you are the crew of the Chimera, a ship that attracts misfortune like a man dressed in copper armour screaming "all the gods are bastards" on a bare hilltop in a thunderstorm attracts lightning. You did not have many options. One way or another, you find yourself aboard the good ship Chimera, in pursuit of it's kidnapped Captain. What happens next is up to you...

About me
Ahoy! I'm a professional DM and voice actor who's been playing for 11 years and running games for 9. At my table, you'll find games with an emphasis on roleplaying and fun, but that doesn't mean leaving your combat brain at the door either. For a taste of my standard British accent narration, check the Youtube link to my voice reel below. I consider myself a capable teacher of the game, having introduced dozens of new people to it over the years. To facilitate this, every adventure is tailored for the players - before each campaign begins, we'll talk through the kind of story you'd like to tell together, and how that squares with what I've got prepared. I approach D&D as a collaborative storytelling exercise, so while I have an extensive homebrewed world and adventures ready, every player has the chance to dictate the nature of the world they're playing in. As for the world itself, if you like pirates, Greek gods, elements of the Forgotten Realms cosmology, and a tone shooting for somewhere between Tolkien and Pratchett, I'm the Dungeon Master for you!
View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
We'll be starting at Level 3, using roll4drop1 stats and milestone leveling. All WOTC official expansions are fine with the following exceptions, almost all for lore reasons: No Dwarves No Guns and Gunpowder (artificers are fine if flavoured away from this) Most reasonable homebrew is fine, but run it by me first before hinging your entire character on it. We will also be running a session 0 to go further into character creation and help anyone who needs it to get their head around the numbers. Feel free to message me with any questions :)
☠️Here Be Dragons is an extensive D&D 5e (2014) game starting at 3rd level and ending around 15th level 🐉If you're looking for an entertaining and unpredictable campaign run by a professional British voice actor, you're in the right place. ☠️ The campaign began recently, however we're still welcoming new players. Come join the fun :) 🐉 Before your first session, I'll be in contact to get you up to speed, go through character creation, see to last minute safety tools, and develop relationships between your character and the world.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Before session 0, all you need is a webcam, a mic, and a discord account, and somewhere to create your character - a paper sheet, d&d beyond, up to you. Before session 1, you'll need a roll20 account, an image for your character token, and some understanding of at least the rules that pertain directly to your character (their race, class and background for example). Feel free to message me with any questions :)
What Benjamin brings to the table
🐉 I encourage in-character roleplaying, player choice, and creative choices. Expect an engaging story that you have a say in - give me a backstory with a couple of colourful characters in it, and they'll more than likely crop up somewhere in the adventure. ☠️ I run the game on Discord for speaking and Roll20 for combat. 🐉 I make liberal use of in-character dialogue and encourage players to do the same. I also encourage players to argue their cases for things like unorthodox skill checks, however ask that they respect my final ruling. ☠️I use background music for those who want it, but one of the reasons I run games on discord is that it can be turned down or off individually. 🐉 I can supply pdfs of all core rulebooks and some snazzy character sheets. ☠️ And, finally, I'm a professional voice actor, so expect high-quality narration in terms of both content and sound quality - check my DM profile's Youtube link for some sample narration!

How Benjamin creates a safe table
Session 0 will involve character creation, and a discussion of any triggers players might have for one's own character and the game in general. The game itself will largely be story driven, but that doesn't mean you won't have think tactically and rely on your companions when you do get into combat. Fun is what we're all here for, and sometimes nothing is more fun than a well-applied fireball.
