About the adventure
The Forests of Cormanthyr, the shifting sands of Anauroch, the winding streets of Waterdeep. What do all of these places have in common? Adventurers explore them in the hopes of finding lost treasures, tantalizing secrets, or wondrous scenes! What will you find wandering through the Forgotten Realms? These one-shots come from various authors, and all are set in the Forgotten Realms! I have extensive experience helping players learn to play 5e, so don't feel like you can't enjoy one of the greatest role playing games ever made. With a selection of pre-generated characters, players can quickly jump and learn how to play while fighting goblins, spiders, and bears. Oh my!

About me
I started running games in 2016 cause I thought Adventure League was too loud and crowded at my local game shop. My main games are DnD 5e and Cypher, though I have experience with Alien RPG, Call of Cthulhu, Star Wars D6, and more! I love comedy and fantasy games but thoroughly enjoy horror and sci-fi. My goal as a GM is to make sure you're having fun and encourage character building/growth. I'm not a RAW kind of GM. While I do defer to the rules on certain things, my overall goal is to keep balance and fun integral to the game. I also give inspiration if you make me laugh out loud while you're in character.

Creating your character
GMSyd will provide pre-made character sheets for you to choose from after you sign up or at the start of the game.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players will need a Roll20 and Discord accounts and have a basic understanding of how to play DnD (ie, rolling dice, basic arithmetic, etc). Players will only need a microphone, and we'll be using Discord for voice chat.
What GMSyd brings to the table
Roll20 assets. I love using fun voices for characters. Not all of my voices are great, but I have a couple here and there that are really good. I also love helping people learn to play RPGs. Not just 5e, but Cypher, Alien RPG, and more.

How GMSyd creates a safe table
General Rules 1) Respect and listen to your fellow players. 2) Respect and listen to the GM. 3) Please do not distract other players. 4) Making the GM laugh so hard they can’t breathe while you’re in character gives you XP. 5) Take notes. 6) Please save meta-gaming, rule debates, memes, etc. until designated break times. 7) Random Events can occur at the GMs discretion. 8) Remember actions have consequences. 9) Keep noise at a reasonable level. Respect our neighbors and all of our ears. 10) No explicit actions will be detailed in-game. This includes sex, torture, etc. In accordance with StartPlaying.games rules and rightly so, no non-consensual sexual actions and no pedophilia will be allowed in this game. 11) No politics. 12) The Rule of Cool applies to the GM as well as players. I have an Open Door policy. You can step away for any reason, and the only thing we'll ask is if you're ok.
