About me
I've been obsessed with RPGs since I was in middle school and my friend handed me the D&D 4e handbook. I've been playing RPGs off and on through various one-shots and mini-campaigns since high school. Those early years my DMing career consisted mostly of my brother and I messing around in one-on-one sessions. Things really started kicking off for me in college, where I ran and played in multiple campaigns. I ran Star Wars FFG, Legend of the Five Rings FFG and The Expanse campaigns throughout my college years. It was also around this time that I started learning and performing Improv, which hugely impacted how I ran and played the game, as well as shaped me as a storyteller. Nowadays, it's been harder for me to run games as much as I want to with work and distance, but that hasn't stopped me from engaging with the hobby or running one-shots here and there. I generally enjoy a lot of narrative and roleplay, with a healthy dose of combat, and lately my goals for DMing include improving my combat encounters. Join my games if you want something other than D&D5e! My favorite systems right now include: Root, Star Wars FFG, Hometown Holiday and Draw Steel!

Creating your character
We will create characters in the first session together. Character creation in Hometown Holiday will take no more than 15-20 minutes. Most of that time will spent collaborating on character connections and backstory.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
The only thing players will need are their character sheets and a discord account. There is no combat in Hometown Holiday, so no advanced VTT will be necessary, we will play it out "theater of the mind" style over discord. When we get together for character creation, I will send over copies of the character sheets to the players over discord.
