Homebrew rules

My Common House Rules: Death Saves are rolled by DM; and results are discretly messaged to that player, this adds suspense to the party by not knowing how long a hurt character has to live. Critical Hits; or crits are max damage +1 die before modifiers; hit them hard and feel great about it. No one likes rolling low numbers on crits! Anything for the lore; the rules are enforced for balance and structure but this is not hard law, the game is about story telling and while laws of gaming physics will not be broken they can be flexed and twisted to result in anything more exciting or dramatic, final decision is always up to DM discretion only.

How Darrian creates a safe table

Players are encouraged to be creative with their approaches, any ideas are up for attempt or discussion, at the least it’s worth a good laugh! This is a story revolving around the party and lets players dive into how they want to explore and handle their situations. Players can expect a light rule gaming experience with a moderate pace set. Should any topics of game or player discussion make anyone uncomfortable players have the right to discuss their thoughts and concerns openly, and if need take a step away for breaks or self-composure. Players are allowed to directly or discreetly inform the DM of such concerns and will help facilitate anything necessary if anyone is in a position of discomfort.
