About me
Want a DM who can elevate your D&D game to amazing new heights? You've found them. I'm Casey, your professional DM. I'm the DM other DMs like to play with. As a gifted voice actor with years of experience, I inject life & character into my NPCs. That's just the start. As a TV & Film writer, I know how to draw your PC into the narrative, their backstory, wants & goals, for a 100% tailor-made playing experience. I also bring immersive music, sensory-filled narration, and a creative mind trained for improv. If you want deep character RP or wacky adventures, my games are full of chances to role-play, solve mysteries, and face monsters in inventive ways. At our table, rulebooks come second to Good Storytelling. Exploration & RP outweigh combat, but it plays a fun part! Come for a *spooky* good time, I love scaring PCs with frights tailored around their Lines & Veils. (You're always, *always* going to be safe at my table.) My inclusive, easy-going style guarantees an incredible experience for players of all kinds. I look forward to telling amazing stories with you!

Creating your character
When you sign up, be ready to build a level 10 PC with me, bring your PC from another D&D party, or play with a pre-fabbed one available at the table. Before our first session, we'll go over what everyone can expect from the game, and answer any questions. Backstory is great, but keep in mind this game is mostly centered around combat.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
A quality mic is useful, as is a webcam if you're comfortable being onscreen. If not, don't sweat it, but we will need to at least hear you. Roll Beyond is a great app that's useful for connecting Roll20 and D&DBeyond, two sites we use for the game. I'll also provide cheat sheets of the basic rules for anyone that wants one.
What Casey brings to the table
I bring custom maps on a VTT courtesy of Roll20 and D&D Beyond-- I pay for membership so you don't have to! I LOVE immersive storytelling. I use cinematic music, gripping voice work, and engrossing narration to pull you into the story. Then I hand you the reins. Expect combat to be intense and brutal. Take no prisoners-- your enemies certainly won't. I'm always down to consider shenanigans. We abide the rule of cool fairly often, so feel free to ask! Also, I have my own discord channel where we can prep for the game, and you can talk amongst the party!
Homebrew rules
In Combat, potions can be taken and rolled for on Object Interactions, or get the full benefit with an Action. Friendly fire is unlikely but possible: hitting a friendly that is flanking or grappling your target. Corgis cannot flank an elephant, Medium sized creatures cannot flank a Gargantuan monster. Permanent, disabling injuries are possible on Critical Hits and Critically Failed Saves.

How Casey creates a safe table
I send a Lines & Veils sheet for you to fill out, to ensure the game stays safe for everyone. Terror is great. Horror can be traumatizing, so let's avoid that, shall we?
