About the adventure
This campaign is for dedicated players who enjoy a lot of role play and narrative in their games. Want to be part of an epic story unfolding across kingdoms? Think bugs are neat? Then this is the campaign for you. This is a more serious campaign despite the nature of the setting, with potential player death being a possibility, high role play, and high fun. The players will find themselves at the center of empire of sentient bugs, organized into highly stylized kingdoms and factions, of which the players will be able to choose. This campaign takes a lot of creative freedom with some of the more basic mechanics of character creation in order to make each character feel unique and part of the world around them.

About me
I really love getting into the nitty gritty to make my campaigns feel real, they're often accompanied by DM cheat sheets which often end up being 50-100 pages, what can I say I love lore. I like working in any setting, particularly high fantasy, sci-fi, and the wild west. I've been a DM for 6 years now and I know the game like the back of my hand and my favorite rule is number 10. Don't let the game get in the way of everybody having fun. I like to scale the games in proportion to make my players feel important and epic as they should, seeing as they're seeking out an epic Adventure. If you like detailed worlds, an on/off the rails play style and you like to have fun with it, I'm the DM for you.

How Rob creates a safe table
Players can expect sessions to be a healthy mix of role play and combat despite the setting's high role play nature. A world of fleshed out npcs exists around the player characters and they're encouraged to interact with the story as much as they like. This campaign is best suited to players with strong ideas for characters who enjoy role play and who aren't afraid to bring their characters to life, despite this players are still encouraged to talk out of character in and out of combat. Characters will be introduced in session 0 to the world and each other before the story starts rolling!
