About me
<-- Runs custom Birthday One Shots Gamer, Dad, Forever DM, getting good at voices (according to my very generous players), love storytelling, and the tactical elements of the game! I love everything from serious and dark, to goofy munchkin nonsense! Oh, and there will probably be a higher than usual focus on food in my games. I'm a chef and can't help it. My goal is to deliver an experience you're happy to be a part of, let me know how I can make that happen. Rule #1 Be Kind - we're all here to have fun, playing a game, and telling stories together.

Safety
How Charlie Bastian creates a safe table
This game is targeted towards kids wanting a leg up into the hobby, so I don't expect anything past PG-13 here. That being said we're all here to have fun, so any genuine phobias can be shared with me, in private, and I'll make sure they aren't in the game. I have an open door policy, 0 tolerance for bullying, and am here to facilitate a good environment.
