Meet the Game Master
About me
I’m Ash Ely, Dungeon Master, Game Master, Co-Host of the RPGBOT.Podcast, and Contributing Author for RPGBOT.net. I am a professionally trained actor and I have a Masters Degree in Game Design. My passion is guiding players through unique experiences, weird worlds, meeting interesting characters and crawling challenging Dungeons. Combined with my training, I love fully immersing my players during sessions. I love the use of mechanics to create the ideal world, and I love the rules of the game…unless they get in the way of fun. As any good Dungeon Master should, I have mastered D&D. But I love other systems. Within my portfolio I run Powered By The Apocalypse, Call of Cthulhu and Vampire the Masquerade 5th edition. I’m adding Pathfinder 2e to my portfolio and the catalog of titles from Free League. If you’re looking for something either simple or complex, I can work with your group to craft your ideal campaign

Creating your character
We will ideally create characters together in our session 0 but individual help sessions are available to those who need it. Characters will be built within Pathbuilder and imported into Foundry VTT. All Kingmaker specific material will be provided by me.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You should have a working mic with minimal quality issues, a free discord account and you will be asked to make a free account on The Forge. Webcams are completely optional.
What Ash Ely brings to the table
♦High quality premium maps ♦Curated sounds and music delivered through discord via KenkuFM ♦All the material for the adventure ♦Premium modules for Foundry to make the experience more immersive and dynamic ♦High quality voice work and NPC character design thanks to years of acting experience
Homebrew rules
I tend to ignore dropped weapons once you lose consciousness and critical hits do not bring you to dying 2 if they are the last hit you take before going unconscious. We will be using free archetype variant rules and I can be persuaded to allow Ancestral Paragon and automatic bonus progression.

How Ash Ely creates a safe table
We will have our Session 0 free of charge. In this session we will go over the community covenant, which includes rules, expectations as well as Lines and Veils. I encourage my players to add any stipulations, expectations or Lines and Veils during that time. We will then discuss the themes of the adventure as well as any potentially sensitive content.
