About me
A writer, poet, and anthropologist, I love to introduce new players to the fantastical worlds I grew up in and love even more building new worlds with players of all experience levels (including no experience!) DMing is a passion of mine, something I am always striving to improve at: the physical world around me is littered with sourcebooks, notebooks, guides, print-outs, Post-Its, dice, half-painted miniatures, and other paraphernalia related to this incredible hobby. All of my games are LGBTQ+ friendly, and my tables are safe spaces where everyone is welcome, so long as they believe that everyone is welcome.
View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
Characters will be created during Session 0, and a comprehensive Session 0 will be performed, including theming, expectations, concepts, character backstories, et cetera. Players joining after Session 0 will match level with the rest of the team. I will work with players over SPG and/or Discord leading up to their first session to build their characters and establish them within the world.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players would be advised to have a mic available for use with Discord, but text chat accommodations are allowed. A free Discord account (https://www.discord.com/) will be necessary. A free Role VTT account (https://www.playrole.com/) will be necessary. Having some knowledge of Dungeons & Dragons 5e or other d20-based games will help the players have a frame of reference, but is not necessary.
What Gerald brings to the table
I will have the rules needed for the game available to players, as well as any other materials we'll need. I will run a combination of pre-written adventures and original adventures as necessary. I also bring just... terrible character voices. Just the worst. 😃 Additionally, I bring with me a gaming community full of great weirdos. My Discord channel is full of fun people who love gaming in all its forms and fun conversations take place daily. We also run Community Events every month to bring new experiences to the table!
Homebrew rules
We are using altered Initiative rules and combat rules that are designed to mimic the classic console Phantasy Star games.

How Gerald creates a safe table
This game contains fantasy violence. Characters can be defeated, even killed, but can also be revived if the players wish it so. Content warnings are non-comprehensive, due to the nature of a bunch of people coming together to hang out together while playing a game. If something comes up that makes you uncomfortable, there are many ways you can make that known, including X-Cards and Lines & Veils. You will never be expected or pressed to share your trauma history with anyone else at the table; simply saying "X this" is enough to change direction of the session.
