About me

I have been a professional DM for five years and first got interested in Dungeons and Dragons back in 1994. Most of my experience as a DM is with D&D 5e, including first party, third party (Humblewood, Animal Adventures, and many more), and homebrew. I also have experience Dungeon Crawl Classics, Tales of Equestria, Avatar the last airbender, and Gurps. I am more than willing to run these and any other system, given enough time to learn the content. I can run custom games and one shots for birthdays and special occasions. I have over 66 one shots to choose from.

Character creation

Creating your character

I will send a link to the campaign on D&D beyond. You can create your character using the books available on my D&D beyond account. You also have the choice of a premade character for the game. Please contact the DM to find out what level character to make. We are starting at level 1 and going to level 20. You can read "The Crooked moon players guide Part one" on D&D Beyond once you have joined the campaign on D&D beyond. This will give you a description of the new species and subclasses as well as a overview of all of the areas in the game. No UA or homebrew on character sheets. You can roll for stats, do point buy, or standard array. All players start with 4 potions of healing.

The current party

We currently have a blood Hunter and a monk.
