About the adventure
The adventurers are called to help a young boy recover his grandfather’s kite-plane, which was hijacked by fish folk and crashed into the Shallows. The adventurers must now dive to the ocean floor, explore a mysterious sunken town, find the kite-plane, and then bargain (or fight) with a host of fish folk pirates, before returning to the young boy before his grandfather finds out.

About me
I have been playing ttrpgs since high school (way back in the 1900's), and have been GMing for just as long. My experience is primarily in-person, theatre of the mind style play, but I have been slowly trying to expand my experience and comfort into online gaming. I love to tell a good story with other people, and especially love having to react and respond to the choices and actions of my players. Most of my experience in running games is self-created adventures and ideas, not so much module adventures. I love running games, and hope I can provide a safe space for all types of players to enjoy themselves and express their creativity.
View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
Character creation will be done on D&DBeyond, rolling stats. I'm requesting to use the class subclasses in the Obojima book, and will provide access to that material when you join the game. Characters will be level 4.
We will be making 4th-level characters, restricting character options to Obojima content for ease and consistency.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Join the discord, have a D&DBeyond account, be ready to discuss character ideas and possible connections to other players before beginning the adventure. We will use the Avrae bot on discord to help integrate D&DBeyond and run the game.
What Tim brings to the table
I will provide Discord, access to the Obojima material, and visual material when appropriate within the adventure channel. I will also post daily to help keep the adventure moving, and will do my est to respond and react promptly to the actions of the players.
Homebrew rules
Drinking potions as a bonus action, full action to use on others. Modified Crits: On a nat 20, attack deals max dice damage, plus a damage roll, plus modifiers.

How Tim creates a safe table
We will go over any safety concerns/needs in session zero, and I will always be available to message privately for anything. I will always strive for empathy and non-judgement, with my focus being on player fun and comfort over anything else.
