[[Beginner & LGBTQIA2S+ Friendly]] ------------------------------------------- 📣See what Erin has to say about my GM'ing: "Leland is a fantastic DM. They're enthusiastic about every game they run and clearly want every single one of their players to enjoy their time with him and experience a successful campaign. I initially played Monster of the Week with him as a way to dip back into playing with a group and eventually played (and am currently playing in) my first DnD campaign with Leland as DM. He's patient and encourages questions and all the silliness that comes with role-playing games. You genuinely couldn't ask for a better DM!"

About me
Hey everyone, it's me, Leland, aka Leopold the Just in most social media spaces! I’ve been deeply invested in tabletop RPGs since the start of the millennium, & I still love every second of every game I run or play. Aside from that, some of my other interests include going to music events, board gaming, playing strategy & RPG video games, camping, traveling, eating delicious food, learning more about science & art, getting tattoos, going to aquariums & museums, & much, much more. As a GM, my storytelling focus is on strange events, haunted & horrific places, emotional buy-in & consequences during roleplay, & NPCs you won’t forget. I run everything from cozy slice-of-life games to bleak horror, sometimes both in the same session. If you love group storytelling & want to play in an immersive world that feels alive, then I’m the right GM for you. --- What to expect at my table & in my community: • Sessions with a strong narrative focus on character development • Action-packed, descriptive combat that keeps you on the edge of your seat • A living world where NPCs react & evolve based on your choices • Shared storytelling that includes everyone, with collaborative worldbuilding that lets you leave your mark • A chill, inclusive space where everyone is welcome & every identity is valued • Exclusive $5 community one-shots for active members, bringing players from across tables together for fresh stories & shared adventures • Regular community events: exclusive access to my discord video game streams, board game nights, video watch-parties, & a live Kenku FM radio station; all to offer recreation during downtime between sessions So go ahead & pull up a virtual seat. Let’s tell some stories together!

Creating your character
We will create characters together during s0! If you join after s0, then I (the DM) will send you the character creation parameters via discord and discuss things with you before you begin the process. [All classes & races in the Humblewood book are open to pick, as well as any official DND races that are anthropomorphic animals, or any third party options I own. You may use Roll20's charactermancer or DNDbeyond. Humanoid animal options only!]
Current party Level: 4 Campaign will end at level 20, so there's a lonnnnggg way to go!
