About the adventure
This world lives, breathes, fights and kills. It doesn't care if you meet an early demise, but I do. Experience DND that plays like giving a chimpanzee a sledgehammer. I am incapable of normal, you get to thrive in the unexpected. As you delve into dungeons, making it out alive with your goal complete is the objective. Clearing every room might mean becoming a permanent resident. Explore relationships with living, growing NPCs that change as you influence them. Be the one who teaches the demigod to feel human, raise the boy destined to be emperor, free the trapped dark thing chained under the mountain. You will encounter things stronger than you, learning when to run is part of the game. Join me in walking the knife's edge of adventure in a world that changes alongside you. Nothing you touch will ever be the same.

About me
I run games like setting up dominos that explode. Every choice matters, it is just really hard to tell which ones will have the effect you want.

Creating your character
Craft your own unique town to drop into the world. It is part of the lore now. Other tables will see it on the map. Your background isn't made from some list, you write half, the world writes the rest. All 2024 options plus Artificer & Gunslinger
What to expect
Preparing for the session
All you need: Discord, free D&D Beyond account. Foundry VTT runs in-browser - no downloads or subscriptions needed. Never played before? I'll teach you the rules as we go. Questions before committing? Message me to discuss your experience and expectations. I respond as soon as possible.
What Elias brings to the table
Your character's choices drive the campaign. I build plots around your goals, not force you into mine. Foundry VTT handles the mechanics, you handle the decisions. - Scenarios that flex to player choices, no scripts. - Session Zero: you pick your starting hook from a handful of options to shape the campaign. One Piece meets D&D - not always pirates, but same energy. Long arcs. Absurd comedy that blindsides you when it actually hurts. Characters chasing audacious goals. Five nations. An empire fracturing. Elemental hordes, vampire civil wars, collapsing governments, and a brand new democracy trying to survive its first year. The world is on fire in seven directions. Which one you put out or make worse is on you. One session is a three-hour shopping spree. The next is a four-session dungeon crawl. Then a beach episode. Then a flashback that recontextualizes everything. The players drive the pacing. ⚔️ Levels 5-10: Regional heroes. Your name starts meaning something. 🌍 Levels 11-15: Growing threats. The fires you ignored are spreading. 💀 Levels 16-20: Reap what you sow. Every choice you made is coming home. Fried with spice for players who'd rather clean up their own catastrophic mess than follow a script.

Safety
How Elias creates a safe table
High intensity needs a guarantee. This table is neurodivergent and queer-friendly as foundational design, not accommodation. Different communication styles, processing needs, and identities aren't exceptions-they're expected. Zero tolerance for harassment, gatekeeping, or weaponized rules-lawyering. If someone makes the table unsafe, you won't have to deal with it. Your comfort > any game. Session Zero builds our social contract: Breaks (pause anytime, no explanation needed), Consent Checklist (boundaries before play), and Stars and Wishes (tell me what you like and what you want more of).
