About me
I have been playing role playing games since picking up Moldvay's Basic DnD box set. I have run a wide variety of games since: AD&D 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th editions, Space 1889 (Savage Worlds edition), GURPS 3rd edition, World of Darkness games, Call of Cthulhu, Ashen Stars (Gumshoe), The Kerberos Club (Fate Edition), Shadowrun 4th edition, 13th Age, and Shadow of the Demon Lord. I also enjoy facilitating more narrative games like Annalise, Shock, 3:16, Apocalypse World, Monster of the Week, Monster Hearts, Remember Tomorrow, Microscope, World Wide Wrestling 2e, Spione, Penny for My Thoughts, and Dirty Secrets. I bring a wide range of experience from a lot of different types of games run. And the most important thing still is that everyone in the session enjoys themselves.

Creating your character
I will provide pregenerated characters. You are welcome to generate your own 1st level characters subject to DM approval with preference given to base character types in the Players Handbook. We will also do character generation during session zero for those who want that (to fill gaps in the party make-up for example).
What to expect
Preparing for the session
I will be using Foundry VTT to run this game. Foundry runs in your browser and is optimized for laptop/desktop environments. In addition to that, you would need a microphone and webcam.
What Aaron Scott brings to the table
I will be using Dungeons and Dragons 5e (2014 not 2024) for this game. So this game will help new players learn the system and can take that to other games. I will be utilizing ambient music.

How Aaron Scott creates a safe table
We will go over X, N and O usage before play. So everyone is on the same page. Lines and veils will also be discussed before play. Keep in mind that this game is for all ages so adult content is a hard line for this game. Anything too adult for a PG-13 film would pass that line.
