About me
Hi! My name is Indy. I’ve been playing TTRPGs for about 6 years, and have been GMing for just about the entire time. I’ve been GMing professionally for over a year now. I started with Dungeons and Dragons, but eventually branched out to other systems that I have fallen in love with. I’m waiting to get a little more confident with those systems before I start running them professionally. I love teaching new players. During the pandemic, I taught all my friends (and some family) how to play D&D, because everyone’s schedules suddenly became very open. I corrupted the majority of my theatre company during that time. I hope to continue my shenanigans with you all!

Creating your character
Character creation will happen during session 0. Stats will be rolled using 4d6 (dropping the lowest, rerolling 1s). Whatever method of character creation that works best for you is okay!
Free session 0/first session :) Currently, the party consists of a warlock, a fighter, a bard, and a rogue. Currently at level 5
What to expect
Preparing for the session
I use a combination of Discord and Roll20 for my games. So all that is needed is an account on both of those platforms
What Indy brings to the table
I'm a huge fan of the Rule of Cool! I'll let you at least try most things (within reason). I try my best to do voices, but I really only have a couple, so bear with me. I also enjoy using ambient and combat music when I can :)

How Indy creates a safe table
We will hold a session 0 and go over everything there. I use X, N, and O cards as well as a consent sheet. I am always open to talking about the session before or after. If I think the session will have a heavier subject matter, I will warn the group at the start of the session just so no one gets blindsided.
