When adventurers and explorers get together in taverns such as the Yawning Portal, the conversation invariably turns to one thing- unexplored dungeons. Finding and exploring these places is the holy grail of adventuring, from lost citadels to well-guarded vaults to killer mazes. The only question is this: will you survive to tell the tales?

About me
Hi! I'm Ellis. I've been playing D&D 5th Edition since 2016 as both a player and a DM. I've spent the last few years running play-by-post and voice games over Discord and now I want to share that experience with you. My wife (https://startplaying.games/gm/meganhardy) and I offer a welcoming community where we run player-friendly, inclusive games for all players of any experience level, The RPG Den and Menagerie: https://discord.gg/meganandthemonkey These games are all available to run either as voice games or regularly scheduled text-based/PbP games for those who cannot process or prefer not to use audio. New games are being added regularly so there is always something for everyone in this growing community. Please message me with any questions or game requests.

Creating your character
Characters are created using 2024 rules and a modified standard array (17 16 15 13 11 9).
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You will need a microphone (if it is a voice game), a character, your imagination, and a desire to have enough adventuring stories that you never have to buy another round at the tavern. You will also need access to Discord, Roll20, and D&D Beyond.
What Ellis (cuddlemonkey) brings to the table
Maps and tokens will be on Roll20 and I will provide a campaign link on D&D Beyond for access to character creation content. There will be atmospheric music provided but easily muted if you prefer.

Safety
How Ellis (cuddlemonkey) creates a safe table
Everyone is encouraged to discuss lines and veils with me privately, either on SPG or in the Discord server. Session 0 will be a chance to get to know characters and players as well as go over any specific rules, complete with a chance to speak in a private voice channel if there is anything you would like to address.
