About me
I love D&D my favorite part about DMing is creating a world that my players feel is alive and excites them. I love immersion with music, spell effects, weather effects, and plenty of visuals. I DM a lot on roll20 making the switch to here. I embrace rule of cool. Only been Dming for the last 6 years and only know 5e.

Creating your character
• Your character’s race • Your character’s class • Your character’s background • Your character’s goals • Your character’s origin The first episode of this Fable begins with you dragging yourself from the aether onto a barren island after barely surviving a battle between six warships. Before starting play, the group will gather for a Session Zero to establish a few details about that fateful day together. But before you do, you’ll need to establish the five baseline details listed above. Starting level is going to be lvl 3 and it will be point buy stats or rolled public in server. I will allow most races if it works for the backstory. We also have a few custom races that are campaign specific i will send over.

How Phin creates a safe table
I use a safety deck. So if anyone is feeling uncomfortable they can use the safety deck to stop the game. I also will check in after game on all my players to make sure they are doing fine.
