About me
My name is James and Pintado is my nickname,… call me either and you’ll get a smile back from me. i am an enthusiastic artist expressing themselves through all things deemed nerdy. I Game master, role-play, draw and dream fantasy all day, most days. I love co-creating epic stories of adventure, intrigue and suspense with other players, interweaving a balanced experience of compelling story, battle strategy and rewarding drama. I really enjoy helping others express themselves through tabletop games. I try and create a space for thoughtful character creation where players can craft as deep or merely functional character as they choose. I seek to balance the dynamics of a multi person table so all participants can find what they are looking for in a shared creative experience. In real life, I am a teacher and a performer and those skills come through in experiences I facilitate. I love helping new players find their way while creating interactive and entertaining content for “our” table. I see this all as a group experience and prefer to be an ally to the adventurers as opposed to being their opponent. Lastly, everybody is welcome at my table. I expect all players to be kind and work to co create an amazing experience together, full of mutual respect and cooperation. Let’s get together and create some magic!!!

Creating your character
We will make first level animal species characters using D&D 2024 rules. Any animal themed characters from any published sources are available. We will roll for attributes, and can use 2014 or Humblewood Backgrounds and still pick a 2024 origin feat. At third level, any available published subclasses will be open for character use.
This game needs to be every other week, opposite from an existing commitment I have. Please join us if you are available on weeks of 2-14/ 2-26 / 3-14 / 3-28...etc.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You'll need a computer capable of running Foundry, our virtual table top. You'll need headphones and a mic but we won't be using cameras for play. We will use Discord for voice and audio and we will use D&DBeyond for tracking our characters. All of these are free accounts for you, I will send the appropriate links after you have joined the game.
What GM James Pintado brings to the table
I will show up on our discord channel every other week ready to facilitate you through our shared creative journey. I will bring the battlemaps, the images and I will play both your friends and foes for a fun three hour jaunt into tabletop games and Fae inspired Fantasy.
Homebrew rules
Here is why you might want to come play with us. We use Max Criticals. The full max damage plus a roll of the damage die. We use +2 to hit for Flanking instead of Advantage. Enemies too. Potions give full healing as an action or out of combat, a bonus action to roll the amount. You'll get both an ASI and a Free Feat when you would get one by leveling up. Feel heroic and get to use the Feat character options. Conditions granting Advantage or Disadvantage compound by a rate of +2. So a prone, blinded foe would invoke an advantaged attack at +2. Disadvantaged conditions work the same. I have a huge library of Species, Subclasses and Backgrounds for you to use and you can build using 2014 or 2024 rules with 2024 rules being used primarily.

Safety
How GM James Pintado creates a safe table
We will use "Lines and Veils" to remove or lessen detail on identified challenging content. Through direct messages or through session zero introductions we will identify and address content and I will rewrite any scenes to reflect our agreed community standards. My door is always open for direct messages and I have a strict No T.R.A.S.H. table. No Transphobia, No Rascism, No Abelism, No Sexism and No Homophobia. It is very fulfilling to get to play in a space set aside from real-life hate and use fantasy to image inclusive amazing and empowering spaces for everybody.
