About the adventure
In a legendary library, many scholars have gathered, bringing and collecting hundreds of books. Some of them are even magical! This is a one-shot adventure designed for brand-new players. No experience? No problem. You’ll learn everything as we go, from rolling dice to casting your first spell. Grab a sword, ready your wit, and step into the world of Dungeons & Dragons—the greatest game of storytelling and imagination.

About me
I've been playing and DMing TTRPGs for 15 years. By far my most experience is in D&D 5e, but I have experience in others such as Masks, D&D 4e, Epyllion, and more!
View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
Characters will be made at session 0 using D&D 5.5 (2024) rules. Stats will be chosen using point buy method. Characters will start at level 1. We will use character sheets on Roll20. All official D&D 5e books are approved.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Make sure you have a Discord and Roll20 account. We will be using Discord for the video chat and music, and Roll20 for the virtual battle map.
What Johnathan brings to the table
I will provide ambient music during the game. Combat will be tactical and sometimes challenging. I have a love of character voices and utilize a voice changing program to help accentuate voices even more so. While the Rules as Written will be used primarily, the Rule of Cool will be sprinkled in to make you feel like the awesome adventurer you are, so feel free to ask to use things in a different way than intended!
Homebrew rules
Death saves are replaced by levels of Exhaustion. When you fail a Death Save, you gain a level of Exhaustion. If you succeed three Death Saves, you are still stable at 0 hp. Artificer class is completely revamped. I will email you the PDF of the changes (or you can find it for free on my Patreon). Hunter's Mark is changed to be concentration free, but you can no longer mark different creatures with the same mark.

How Johnathan creates a safe table
You will need to fill out a Lines and Veils document before session 0. This just lets me know where your hard lines of things that you do not even want in the game, and what might be hinted at but not outright said. I will discuss these with you at Session 0, just to make sure I have everything in order. My X, N, & O cards are digital on Roll20, so they are pretty easy and obvious to use. After each session, I'll make sure everyone is doing okay, especially if any big emotions occurred doing the game. I don't want something that could have easily been avoided be something that drives you away from the game.
