About the adventure
The arid desert heat taints the light breeze that blows across your face. You've grown up in the desert. You are familiar with the sun's scorching rays. The lack of shade. The sight of endless dunes only occasionally pock-marked with civilization. What you aren't familiar with, however? That underlying draw towards a great power... hidden and... inert? No. Hibernating. Waiting. Calling you to awaken it. You know the noble houses will have scions chasing the same ancient power. The countless factions of Abiri long-steeped in the arcane arts of sorcery... and betrayal. A small tumbleweed blows across the sandstone road before you, cutting through the dunes into the distant horizon beyond. You look back as your new-found companions catch up to you - a rag-tag bunch, but all heading towards a common goal. With fresh resolve, a twang of divine energy coursing through your blood, and a swig of the quenching water in the small skin at your side, you continue forward. Towards lands and monsters unknown. Towards undoubted danger. Towards power.

About me
Hello there! DM Mike is the name and D&D is (typically) the game. I love DMing and have been running and playing in TTRPG games for the past 15 years of my life with over 5 of those being as the forever DM. I specialize in story-driven adventures where character choices shape the world, consequences matter, and the narrative is as important as the combat. Expect distinct character voices, high-stakes drama, and a DM who’s part narrator, part improv actor, and part evil wizard (just narratively… probably). Whether you're here for emotional arcs, ridiculous antics, or heroic triumphs, I’ll help make your campaign or one-shot unforgettable.

Creating your character
Character creation will take place before the first session during a Session 0 held over Discord. I’ll send out a link to coordinate scheduling. This gives us time to align your character with the world of Abiri, answer any questions, and ensure you’re set up for an engaging start. All other information is available in the discord.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Just make sure you’ve got a D&D Beyond account and a Discord account set up before we get started. Aside from that, all you need is a decent mic, camera, and internet connection—nothing fancy!
What DM Mike brings to the table
🎭 I’m always leveling up my character voices and expressions! You can count on my vocal range to hit the mark. 🎶 Custom background music is carefully chosen to enhance the emotional beats of each session - whether it’s a tense standoff or a heartfelt reunion. 🔊 Crisp sound effects are dropped in just the right moments to elevate action, drama, and comedy. ⚔️ Combat isn’t just a numbers game - it’s a story. Every battle is placed with intention and designed to feel cinematic and meaningful. When it comes to rules, I prioritize story-first gameplay while keeping things fair and consistent. Expect dramatic moments, big choices, and real stakes - because death is on the table, especially in the early levels. If you go charging into danger, I won’t stop you... but I also won’t pull punches.

Safety
How DM Mike creates a safe table
Creating a safe, inclusive, and enjoyable environment is a top priority at my table. We’ll begin with a Session 0, during which we’ll collaboratively establish a Lines & Veils document to ensure everyone is comfortable with the content and boundaries of the game. Each session will include a scheduled 10-minute break midway through to allow time for snacks, rest, and any personal needs. After every session, players will have the opportunity to share feedback or raise any concerns—either anonymously or directly. I also maintain an open-door policy, and you are always welcome to reach out at any time. All communication will be handled with discretion and kept as confidential as you wish.
