About me
Your friendly neighborhood DM here. Favorite activities: meeting new people, rolling dice, giving players "character development" on frequent basis. All jokes aside, Hi! I am Hjonker, you can call me dude or just DM. I am indeed a Forever DM(but I kinda love it). Have been playing on tabletop for a while and have ran a few good chunk(around 15+ and some ongoing) of campaigns in my local games bar. I am always eager to meet new people and set on new adventures and experience exhilarating stories with them.

Creating your character
Character creation can begin separately with the dm. We can get started on the idea of the character prior to session 0. Most of the bulk of character creation will be done on session 0 with other players present for all to get the idea of who is playing what and be up for some discussion or even some brainstorming. We will be using players handbook 2014 Primarily. Xanathars guide to everything and Tashas cauldron of everything are welcome but not necessary. Will be starting at level 1 and progressing up to level 7/8. Will be using standard array for the stats. Further details will be discussed on session 0.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Please have accounts set up for the following: We will be communicating on discord. We will be using Roll20 for our virtual table top. Dnd beyond is welcome but not necessary. If you are planning to use it dnd beyond you must install an extension that allows you to roll on roll20 with dnd beyond.
What Hjonker donker brings to the table
Mostly the gameplay is going to be a theatre of the mind accompanied with backgrounds and visual representation of characters on the virtual table top. When the battle breaks out and initiative is rolled or delving in the dungeon to explore we will go to the battle maps for more detailed representation. The combat will vary from somewhat light to heavy and tactical and little intense at times. There will be ambient music at all times and ideas for character themes are welcome as well. Expect character voices from yours truly. We will be running the module pretty close to as its written but things can be bent to our own comfort. After all rule of cool 😎
Homebrew rules
