What DM DethStruck brings to the table
I will bring the VTT and Discord. I will have maps, pictures, and tokens. I also enjoy music and audio in my games. Sometimes... I'll do voices. I tend to run a more "serious" game. I will treat it like a real world with otherworldly things happening in it. So character actions will have reactions, good and bad. Still my goal is for everyone to have fun. I do follow the rules but with a sort of speed limit leniency, five over is fine.

How DM DethStruck creates a safe table
Session 0: The is a campaign so we will talk some between now and the first session. Lines and Veils: I will send a Google sheet with content limitations. Open Door: If you need a breather, take it. X, N, and O Cards: Use them if you need to. Stars and Wishes: Post game let me know what you liked and might want in another game. This is a horror game. It will likely touch on multiple sensitive subjects. I tried to list them all in the Content Warning. There won't be any sexual violence or sex in this game. No PVP unless cleared with the group first.
