About me
When you love storytelling and have a penchant for chaos, all roads (eventually) lead to TTRPG. I came to tabletop roleplay later in life (2023) but my love for crafting stories and roleplaying online started in 2005. When you're plagued with visions and brainworms aplenty, there's nothing I love more than detailing a scene like I'm storyboarding a movie. Yes, we know where the action is leading us, but how are we getting there? Is it with a comedic flair, or a penchant for angst and dramatics? Those are the details I highlight when setting the scene. Offline, I GM for my friends on the weekend and during the week, I lead social skills groups for neurodiverse adolescents (including a bi-weekly D&D night!). When I'm not gaming (Sims4, CitiesSkylines), you're likely to find me doomscrolling on tumblr and organizing my 100+ open tabs on AO3.
View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
Characters should be ready to go at session start, and made on DnDBeyond.com. Standard Array for ability scores should be used. Most homebrew and source material is welcome; just remember we start as Level 1 characters executing a heist in a museum.
This oneshot is best run with three players involved. However, an NPC (tiefling bard) will be added to the party if there are only 2 players signed up. Session 0 is a shortened time (approx 1 hour) and is free.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You will need a Discord & DnDBeyond account to play. Both accounts are free to create. My Discord server will be used for audio, and DnDBeyond for VTT. If you create your character within the campaign, you will have access to my source books. You Character's picture on DnDBeyond will be their token during gameplay.
What Erika Kathryn brings to the table
Character sheets, Maps, and Dice Rolling will be ran through DnDBeyond. Discord will be used for audio, including background music to help set the scene. We follow the Rule of Cool here, and make liberal use of in-character dialogue and narration. You can do as much as you are comfortable with, and I welcome the melding of minds if you have a specific vision for how a conversation or action goes down! Creative choices will be honored, 9 times out of 10. If it adds to the narrative, it's likely game!
Homebrew rules
I assume every character comes into session with a potion of healing equipped. One uncommon or two common magical items are welcome.

How Erika Kathryn creates a safe table
Once you get set up in my discord server, you can message me any specific lines/veils you want to be observed. Similarly, we'll do a brief check in prior to game start to make sure everyone is comfortable with the set up. Breaks are taken about 60-90-minutes into gameplay, and you are more than welcome to step away should you need to outside of that. I appreciate stars and wishes post-gameplay, even in oneshots.
