About me

I have played with hundreds of players, and I hope you're the next one at my table (virtual or otherwise) I also am the Dungeon Master on the sci fi D&D podcast, The Actual Players. Available on YouTube and Spotify

Creating your character
I have created pre-generated holiday themed level 3 characters. If you wish, you can message me ahead of time for a list of options and to reserve your choice. Otherwise, anyone who hasn't reserved their choice will pick right before we begin.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players should have created accounts for Roll20 and Discord and connected to the server to ensure a smooth start to the game. Players who wish to can reserve their pre-made character ahead of time, but this is not necessary.
What Tyler Lewis Wardle - Dungeon Master brings to the table
I use Roll20 for combat and maps and use Discord for voice chat. I tend to be a pretty lax DM, embracing the Rule of Cool and making the game more about being fun and creating an awesome story! I am a writer and I have a background in theatre, so I can create intricate characters and plotlines. I'm also a master worldbuilder, having spent countless hours developing various D&D worlds.

Safety
How Tyler Lewis Wardle - Dungeon Master creates a safe table
I will send each player a request for their Lines and Veils and we will discuss them before beginning (This process would be anonymous. Nobody at the table would know who set each line or veil, just that someone at the table set it). This campaign is generally pretty innocent, but you never know, so it's important to check in with players!
