About me
Heyoo! I'm Stephen (he/him pronounced Steven, but spelled with a PH (I don't get it either!) I’m a Professional Dungeon Master with experience guiding dozens of players, ranging from brand-new adventurers to seasoned veterans who’ve remember the days of the Satanic Panic! I hope to take you through unforgettable campaigns, spine-chilling dungeon crawls, and wildly hilarious, rule-bending Adventures! I’ve been playing Dungeons & Dragons since my senior year of high school in 2015, when members of the disbanded D&D club joined the Yugioh club I was running I had turned my club into a Table Top games club and became the Dungeon Master for those players! Since then, I have watched and learn about many other DMs and their styles from Brennan Lee Mulligan, Matt Mercer, Aabria Iyengar, Chris Perkins, and Jeremy Crawford. Combining their styles with how I like to run campaigns as led me to a genuine love for storytelling, world building, and collaborative game play. Putting Player Agency first and utmost in the drivers seat!

Creating your character
This one shot we will introduce our characters in the tavern describing their appearances and what they hope to accomplish. We will be using Point Buy for Stats premade characters! We will start at level 1 and create our characters on dndbeyond.com before the session starts! We will mainly be using the 2024 PHB for all character creations!
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Make sure you have a working microphone and stable internet connection as well as good earbuds or a headset. You will need a dndbeyond account, and a discord account. Webcams are not needed but encouraged. You will not need to know the rules as learning along the way is the best way to play DnD! You are encouraged to make your own characters and submit them to the DM before session start time and the DM will message and reach out to you to make sure we can build your character to play them the way you want to!
