About me
Hi! I'm Mike As someone that has played and run tabletop games for over 15 years, I've found countless hours of enjoyment in roleplaying games. I've been playing some form of D&D since I was in school, starting out initially playing 3.5 with friends at college. As time passed I moved from just playing to running One-shots and Stories for those very friends, I found that while being a player is a fun experience, being able to write stories for others is where I thrive. This grew from One-shots to full campaigns where I transitioned from just a part time dungeon master. I started homebrewing, building my own unique worlds, which players bring to life with the actions and tales they weave within it. I still run established modules and find them to be great frameworks and backgrounds to the characters within, allowing players to shine as stand out individuals within the established lore of the system they are in. This gives me the chance to showcase player character backstories and quests.

Bearly is great with both new and veteran players! He lets our party do any wild and crazy things we can think of, while also keeping to the story and moving the story along! His sessions are always great fun!
Sprout
The game was lovely, played a Kobold one-shot, and enjoyed it a lot! Basically the whole party were beginners, and he did an amazing job explaining everything!
Pompo
Great GM, great fun, Kobold one-shot.
Gav Powell
Really enjoyable one-shot with a great group of characters - despite some Foundry-related weirdness, Bearly was very supportive and kept things rattling along at a good pace without it feeling rushed. I look forward to a future game!
Ilan
Knows his stuff but isn't afraid to get fun with it. Managed to get some frog racing matchfixing and artistic jump attacks mixed into the plot. Would recommend.
Namanelja
Despite being British, I’ve known this dm for a while, so I can confirm that he’s got all the rules down pat, is willing to let players explore and screw around, and is generally a nice person I’m happy to call a friend and would play with again :)
Character creation
Creating your character
Characters will be developed during the session zero, every element can be looked through at each players own pace. Player experience of all types is welcome at the table.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
A working microphone and Discord account are required. Foundry will be used for the table top, all the rules and information will be contained within it. A basic understanding of the rules is a bonus but by no means required.
What BearlyDM brings to the table
Players can look forward to a thoughtfully crafted selection of engaging and challenging puzzles designed to stimulate creative thinking and problem-solving. With extensive experience in tabletop gaming, including Dungeons & Dragons and various other systems, I offer a patient and approachable style of play. I take pride in bringing characters to life with a range of voices, ensuring an immersive experience. Additionally, I provide high-quality maps, custom token art, and access to Foundry VTT for an enhanced virtual tabletop experience. My goal is to foster a welcoming and supportive community within the campaigns and one-shots I run, where players can freely engage with one another, share their passion for tabletop games, and feel safe discussing all aspects of the hobby.

How BearlyDM creates a safe table
Anyone signing up to this adventure will be provided a link to a discord server, that server has a Lines and Veils channel for all players to set boundaries on what you would not like to see. As this is campaign, I'll host a session zero before the campaign start and each session will have breaks and time to discuss any uncomfortable points.
