About me
I have been playing D&D for over six years and running games for the past four. It's my passion (read: obsession), and I aim to introduce more to this fantastic hobby, because it really should be shared with as many people as possible. My games usually contain a healthy amount of roleplay (as a voice actor, I just can't resist), tactically challenging combat, and I like to make sure that exploration is rewarding for each player.

Safety
How Samuel creates a safe table
Safety Tools: Triggers and content can be discussed openly or in private. General D&D violence and gore is a part of the game and cannot be avoided. Breaks are taken at natural points, but in extreme cases (ie. character death), they will happen immediately after to check in. Aftercare can be made available upon request. Session 0: Introduction to the Forgotten Realms, discussion of gameplay, what dice rolls do, and character creation.
