About me
๐: ๐โ๐ฆ ๐ฌ๐จ๐ซ๐ซ๐ฒ, ๐ฐ๐ก๐จ ๐๐ซ๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ? A: I'm a thirty-something man from the Baltics. I've been a huge RPG nerd for, dang, almost two decades now. ๐: ๐๐ซ๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ ๐ ๐จ๐จ๐ ๐๐? Iโm not a professional actor, improv guru or a celebrity GM, but I run a pretty good home game! ๐: ๐๐ก๐ฒ ๐๐ซ๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ซ๐ฎ๐ง๐ง๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ ๐๐ฆ๐๐ฌ ๐ก๐๐ซ๐? A: It would be nice to be able to justify spending more time on tabletop RPGs by paying my bills with it. ๐: ๐๐ก๐๐ญ ๐๐ซ๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ ๐จ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ซ๐ฎ๐ง? A: I really enjoy running prewritten campaigns. It gives me a foundation to work off and lets the players know what to expect from a GM they havenโt played with before. So Iโll be running various published modules for 5e, Call of Cthulhu, OSR, Pathfinder 2e, etc. ๐: ๐๐ก๐ฒ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐ฅ๐ข๐๐ฌ? It's one of those things where I've been 'mega' online for so long, it just feels weird when people call me anything else, y'know?
View Profile โCharacter creation
Creating your character
We'll be using the 2024 rules. I'd rather stick to the official options published for the current edition, but I am open to hearing out people who want to use something published for the 2014 edition or a reputable 3rd party product. Starting Level: Level 1. Stat Generation: We can decide as a group if we want to do standard array, point buy or 4d6 drop lowest. (Or, my favorite, the "I Googled The Worst Stat Rolling Method" method: Roll 2d6 down the line. If you want to raise your stats further, buy Premium DM Currency. Every point costs 100 DM Gems up to a maximum of 30. You can buy DM Gems in bundles of 500 for $5 or 5000 for $20. Thanks to some current legal issues, I only take payment in North Korean Kimcoin.) A few general guidelines for character creation and roleplay: We're all (most likely) strangers here trying to play together; this is already a source of friction. When playing with your real life friends, you can afford to make an evil character or an edgy loner , because you're friends and can tolerate some of that from each other, but when playing with strangers, I found that at first it's best to stick to everyone just being do-good-ers who're very enthusiastic about helping people and each other. So: Don't be 'evil'. Don't be antisocial. Try to do the right thing. Try to help people when you can. This minimizes the friction and lets everyone have a good time.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
We'll be using my FoundryVTT server and Discord so you should be able to use both. (Please test before applying, or message me if you need help with this.) Also, owning a headset or headphones+mic will be appreciated by everyone involved. Hearing everyone else echoing on a player's speakers is not fun. It's okay if you never played before, (thankfully, it's not that hard to help newbies learn D&D rules) but if you don't own the rules I'd appreciate if you flipped through the Basic Rules: https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Free%20Basic%20Rules%20%282024%29
What GM mega brings to the table
I'll set up a game on my Foundry server, provide a Discord server, provide a personal wiki for information and recaps and share the necessary materials. (I record sessions with a Discord bot to then transcribe and create recaps. ) What to expect: โ๏ธ Dungeon crawling, mix of in-character roleplay and creative problem solving, maps but also maybe a bit of theater of the mind, perhaps a silly voice or two. Murdering some player characters? Maybe, tee hee! โ Murdering my players irl (I am told by my legal counsel that's a big no-no)

Safety
How GM mega creates a safe table
We'll do Session 0 and go over character creation, expectations and any topics we might want to avoid. Then we'll start playing if there's time left. If you have any phobias like spiders or extreme, unsettling closeups of Steve Buscemi's face or topics you want to avoid, this will be the time to discuss this! There will be no heavy-duty real life traumatic themes in this campaign (you know what I'm talking about). It's a dungeon with monsters and some mild scares in it, y'know? Also.... ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐ก๐ ๐คโ๐๐ ๐๐๐ I might swear every once in a while. Sorry! It just comes out of me sometimes, and then I feel shame before my ancestors and my clan totem.
