Humblewood is calling. The forest is burning, and only the animals can stop it... •Play as birdfolk, humblefolk, and other wild-hearted animal heroes •Fight wildfires, bandits, and the forest’s own forgotten magic •Explore ancient ruins and navigate tangled woodland politics •Build your village, forge unbreakable bonds, and protect what truly matters •Every session reads like a fable. Every choice leaves a scar But the fire was only the beginning. After level 8… •The veil between worlds begins to tear •The god of secrets begins to whisper •And claw, beak, and bone may not be enough The forest doesn’t just need heroes. It needs legends who can defy a god... [[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, and I still love every second of every game I run or play. As a GM, my storytelling focus is on strange events, haunted and horrific places, emotional buy-in and consequences during roleplay, and 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 and want to play in an immersive world that feels alive, then I’m the right GM for you. -------- What to expect at my table and 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 and 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 and every identity is valued • Exclusive $5 community one-shots for active members, bringing players from across tables together for fresh stories and shared adventures • Regular community events: video/board game nights, video watch-parties, and a live Kenku FM radio station for downtime between sessions So go ahead and pull up a virtual seat. Let’s tell some stories together!

How Leland House Jr. creates a safe table
I'll have everyone submit lines and veils to me via DMs, where we can have an open discussion about the content. We will discuss these during session 0, where we will do a number of other things as well, including establishing connections between each other's characters in a collaborative fashion.
