About me
Greetings travelers! Have a seat by the hearth and let us weave a tale or two. My name is Thor, and I have been playing and running role playing games for over two decades. I have run several different multi-year campaigns and a huge variety of one-shots. ❤️ I believe in creating a safe and welcoming environment for all of my players! That means prioritizing safety tools and communication. 📚 I love teaching new players! Everyone learns differently and everyone has something to teach. ⏰ I respect our time together! I try to make time for thrilling combat, daring roleplay, and a satisfying narrative arc all in 3-5 sessions! 📖 I believe that collaborative storytelling is one of the most ancient and important human experiences! 🐉 And, I believe that it's just super duper fun to goof around and tell stories with some new friends! Let’s imagine a world together! I hope to see you by the fireside!

Session 0 typically consists of about 1/3 mingling, setting expectations, and safety discussion, 1/3 collaborative character creation, and 1/3 adventure hook and inciting incident.
