About me
Hi there, I'm Luke, and I've been DMing DnD 5e basically every weekend for the past 6 years. In that time, I've run adventures from level 1 to level 20 and have completed 3 long-form campaigns as well as countless one shots. For me, TTRPGs are all about collaborative storytelling. The most fulfilling part of DMing to me is seeing characters come together to overcome seemingly impossible odds and grow beyond their limits; be it through shrewd roleplay, daring decisions, or intelligent combat. I strive to build an immersive atmosphere and palpable world for my players to explore and enjoy curating music, sound effects, maps, and other visuals to aid in the experience. I also have a good bit of experience in acting and improv, and I like to think that adds an extra layer to the game with NPCs that have distinct voices and characterizations. I also encourage players to get into character and come up with unique voices and mannerisms, though it is by no means a requirement. Ultimately, I believe we're all here to have fun escaping into a more fantastical world, and it's my goal to provide for all of us the best experience possible.

Creating your character
The official Daggerheart quick-play adventure comes with 5 pre-generated characters to choose from! We will stick with these characters for simplicity's and time's sake so we can jump right into the adventure.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
We will run our game through discord, so please have a profile there.
What Luke Carter brings to the table
I will provide the official pre-generated characters and adventure handouts. I also have a collection of sound effects and music to create a more immersive atmosphere. I also do character voices! I think it's fun and also adds to the immersion. I encourage you to do a voice for your character too, though it is by no means required. Because this is an introduction to the system, we will be sticking as closely to the rules as written as we can.

How Luke Carter creates a safe table
This adventure is beginner-oriented and intended for all age groups. We will discuss game expectations and how to handle any content issues that may pop up during gameplay (I honestly would not expect anything to happen, but anything is possible during a live play environment).
