About the adventure
I run an extremely story heavy game, your characters are the most important characters in the world. Not in the sense that you're the most powerful, but in the sense that without you everything in the world can only get worse. Your characters have lived rich fulfilling lives but there has always been something truly missing inside of them. There have been no solutions, nothing to truly fulfill you, but strange dreams beckon you to a strange inn to 'Fulfill your destiny'. Upon arriving you are forced into a dangerous land, was it a trap? The only way to find out is forward. Whether you were a good person before, a selfish one, a righteous one, or an empty one. None of that matters in the face of survival, none of that matters in forging your own path in the world you are subjected to. You have to find your own meaning in life, and have to decide what's truly important to you. Every PC gets free art for their character post session 1 with the help of the in-game artist. This would consist of a custom pixel-art token. Every PC also receives a single natural 20 upon joining, to be used at any point of the campaign. Guarantee one successful roll.

About me
I've been running games for 7+ years, I personally love running serious games with lots of narrative consequences and payoffs. I run games full time and am interested in gathering a community of people who all enjoy writing. Please join my games if you enjoy these things - Round the clock attention (I spend a lot of my time on my PC) - Prologues (I will build your character with you, and you'll see them grow with one on one sessions) - Inspiration (I love rewarding my players with this, and have special mechanics relating to inspiration) - Difficult combat (I make scenarios, and players solve them somehow someway) I promise that you will be happy, or your money back! Haha!

Creating your character
Before the first session (Your prologue session), we will have a session 0 wherein we'll meet, go over the rules and create a character with a backstory. Stats will be decided via random rolls (You get multiple rolls don't worry), the starting levels will be 1, and every sheet will be first made on Discord using my own personal format. All books are allowed but I personally allow only the PHB 2014 races as well as Van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft races.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You need a Discord account and we'll make an account for The Forge, which hosts the games (On Foundry). You don't need any books, I can and will go over everything you need.
What Blue brings to the table
In my games I have intense tactical combat, and a lot of ambient music. I do voices but the main appeal of my games is the ability to RP and host solo sessions for pay. I'm a very free person and any player can schedule to continue side stories or prologues and I'll run a personal session for them either on Foundry or Discord. If you have a job that offers you a lot of free time, well I can satisfy all your D&D needs. If you're a PC who oftentimes go off on their lonesome well we can have personal sessions to see what they do there.

How Blue creates a safe table
Players fill out a consent form at the beginning of the game to set table rules. After every session I also message every person in private to do aftercare as the module is.... Very hard on the soul.
