About me
I've been a "Forever GM" for about ten years. I started with D&D 5e, running Hoard of the Dragon Queen, for a group of 5. Since then, I've had a game running at almost all times, including analog 'round the table games and games in Tabletop Simulator, a year-long play-by-post campaign on Telegram, and running a homebrew version of an Adventure League, in which a myself and other GMs run 2-4 hour one-shots for groups of friends. In addition to D&D5e, I've started running Mothership one-shots and will soon be running Wildsea. I love GM'ing! I love engaging with players where they want to be met. My games tend to have hints of silliness or absurdity, but I'm just as excited "Yes, and" a player's hopes for their character. I believe that players have the most fun when they're able to engage with the game and each other in their own way, and I love helping make that happen. I'm also a big fan of board games. My favorites are Ark Nova, Gloomhaven, Moonrakers, and Blood on the Clocktower.

This adventure is designed for all ages, and therefore will have light swearing at most, and not include any intense descriptions of violence or sexually suggestive or explicit content. Please keep in mind that due to the nature of the game, there may be content including danger, violence, and death.

Safety
How Javiel creates a safe table
A safety and consent checklist link will be sent to each player. Please complete this checklist at your earliest convenience. This will help us set up the table to be the best fit for everyone! Additionally, throughout the session, we will utilize the X-card method in chat. Please use the chat feature to type an 'X' in chat if anything makes you uncomfortable in any way. You don’t have to explain why. It doesn't matter why. When use the 'X', we simply edit out anything 'X'-ed. And if there is ever an issue, anyone can call for a break and we can talk privately. A short debriefing will occur after every session to check in with players, identify problems, highlight the good, and check for feelings bleeding over into life outside of the game.
