About me
About Me Hi, I’m Gavin, a relatively new but enthusiastic Dungeon Master. I love creating fun, character-driven adventures where players can explore, roleplay, and collaborate with a bunch of combat as well. Whether you’re new to D&D or a seasoned player, I aim to craft a welcoming and exciting experience for all. Let’s roll some dice and tell an epic story together!

Creating your character
Players will use DnD Beyond to create a level 1 character using the 2024 rules with stats allocated through the point buy system. Happy to discuss player backstory prior to the first session if any help is needed.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Games will use DnD Beyond so having a free account is necessary for that. Voice Chat will be hosted in discord so a decent internet connection and a working microphone and headset is also required.
What Gavin brings to the table
I enjoy weaving characters backstories into the campaign, i attempt to use voices and create a safe and interesting place for players to play DnD. Always using music to set the mood, and while generally stick to the rules if somethings cool and good for the story then we can make it work

Safety
How Gavin creates a safe table
The aim is to create a safe place for all players, discrimination, harassment, or exclusion of any kind are not welcome at my table. Respect, collaboration, and fun is the priority. Always available to message throughout the session and I check in to ensure players are comfortable with what came up in play. If something ever feels off, I’ll work with you to adjust.
