About me
I've been running tabletop games for over 4 years, and playing for even longer. I have a degree in game design and always love using the skills I've gained to create fun and engaging experiences for others. Not only do I play and run tabletop games, I also make my own tabletop games. Using my game design skills, I have run campaigns for game systems that I have created myself. And these games have even put on stage at local theatres. For more info just google "The Wharp" and check the last name of the creator.

Party currently consists of: 1 Paladin 1 Wizard 1 Ranger The party just recently reached level 3, so if you joined now you would also be level 3, I'd be happy to help you through the process if need be.

Rule of Cool will be applied whenever. Creativity is always encouraged. Though players will still be informed what the "official" rules actually are, even when we're ignoring them.
Homebrew rules

Safety
How Deidre creates a safe table
Each session will be bookended by a debrief, allowing players to talk about the events of the session and call out anything they appreciated or were uncomfortable with. This debrief can happen either over group voice or through private messaging if anyone wants to share something privately. During the session players are always permitted to declare whether or not they are comfortable with any active content, and that content will be removed or altered with no questions asked.
